  1. I'm trying to research how to get started on a path to being a bikini competitor but I'm a little overwhelmed and I'm not sure what guidance I should really be following. I thought I posted earlier but it isn't popping up so I'm trying again. Right now I'm 26, 5'3, 127 lbs, probably around 30% body fat. So far, I've lost about 5 lbs in the past 6 weeks. My goal is to lower my body fat to about 20% and then reevaluate. I tend to build muscle/shape in my glutes easier than others, which is why I chose a goal of bikini. As an initial big goal, I want to get into off season shape, then reevaluate if I want to actually compete. I've never gotten my body to that point before, so I don't know what my limits are. I've been vegetarian for a couple years and I've slowly transitioned to being vegan over the past few months. I haven't been 100% strict (I let up for special occasions), but I've found I don't really enjoy those foods anymore, so I'm no longer going to even do that. We cook from scratch at our house and eat out rarely. I know I need to up my protein a little bit, but I make sure to have some in each meal and snack I have. I'm following New Rules Supercharged at the moment, and I completed New Rules for Women before this. A few years ago I tried Starting Strength and Strong Curves, but I seem to like the structure of NR better. At this point, it seems that I should just lean out using normal methods? I don't want to waste my time and I like the idea of slimming down as if I were going to compete in a few months, but health is the most important thing for me. So this is where I'm a bit lost. Do I continue a slow cut because I am too far off from where I want to be? In that case, what is the cutoff and when should you start to consider a more rigorous attitude? Finally, just because I'm looking, anyone on the Mississippi Gulf Coast have an interest for a workout partner?
