That's awesome that you are in the running to appear there.

I actually qualified to compete in the Pro Division of the Bodybuilding competition at that show, but we have another big event happening that weekend and we can't attend. However, I would love to do that show and I hope to be able to compete there next year.

I hope you get it! GOOD LUCK!

Thanks! Too bad you're not going!!

They contacted me again and offered a spokesmodel position, but they do not cover travel costs and accommodations. It's a paid job but the money earned is 1/3 of what it would cost me to go. It's not that I need money but I find it strange so I might pass on the offer (Have to confirm tonight) Maybe I'll offer to do it for the next show in Montreal instead.

Thanks a lot builtbeast.

When you struggle with weight, you're usually more appreciative of the work it take to look good!

Please do share your story!

Hey Josie,

The thing you have to remember about the FAME 2005 World Championships in Toronto is the incredible number of people in the industry who will be there.

It really isn't about the money you will make at all, IF, you have any interest in doing something in the Fitness Industry.

The show in Montreal won't be anywhere near the the Toronto show. It will be like comparing the NPC Las Vegas Championship to the Mr. Olympia.

For example, we paid our own way to go to the Arnold Classic this year, just for the opportunity to be there and make contacts.

In the short term, it cost us a lot of money to go. But, a LOT of great opportunites have come from that trip and the pay off will be a lot more than it cost us to go, in the long term.

If you feel good about how you are looking and you want the opportunity to meet people who might be able to jump start something for you, the FAME 2005 Worlds is a great place to do it.

Just something to think about!

You got a point there

NuggzTheNinja · 06-20-2005, 05:41 PM

You have great shape and proportions...good work.

Your BF% isn't bad at all though...it's pretty obvious where 15% of it is.

**DarkFalcon** · 06-22-2005, 02:32 AM

Where did you go Josie?

So far I'm only in the pool of candidates but just being asked gave me such a boost!

My stats are down to 123 and 16% although I fell HUGE!! I find it strange to be at my smallest ever and to still feel fat?

Anyone has ever felt bad even though they were supposed to feel great??

HOW TALL ARE YOU JOSIE?

RiDz · 06-26-2005, 03:25 PM

Lookin' good.. keep it up...

I've been overloaded with work in the last weeks. I am soooooo tired!
BUT training is going extremely well, at least I didn't let work get in the way

Even though I'm exhausted I feel and look better then ever! and all the money allowed me to buy a new Jeep Liberty AND pay cash! Never thought I could do it!!

So I have no life BUT I have a brand new Jeep and a killer body

I guess it's not THAT bad after all!

LOL!
I've always liked taller women... makes then look more gracious AND leaner!

But Kendra has that look at 5'1 and 1/4 so there's hope for the rest of us
