Hello All,

I am a newbie to Beverly and I love this site!
This is my first year competing for figure figure. I dieted last year for 16 weeks and was not able to compete due to serious illness. I am bound and determined this year!

I am 5'7", 139 lbs, 16.5% BF
Hold my fat in upper body and abdomen

I want to compete in a show 8 weeks away...Does anyone think that is enough time? There is also another show 16 weeks away that I would like to do.

I appreciate any advice!

Yes! You learn something each time. You can change so much in 8 weeks depending on your goals. And you will learn about your body's response to final weeks prep & stage prep(tanning, posing etc.) I definitely say go for it and if you're still game you'll be better for the 16wks out show. Be diligient.

Thanks so much!
