Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

I really hope you can find it in yourself to get some support and help. Maybe think about seeing a therapist, talk things through with someone you feel comfortable talking with and then maybe at some point after that you can look at trying to get off the meds. I don't want to come across as sounding patronising, I'm genuinely just trying to help. I'm in my mid 30's now and for more than 10yrs I battled anorexia and depression, thankfully I got through it and I didn't go through with the thoughts of suicide I was regularly having.



If you have a spare 12mins that clip is worth watching, you owe it to yourself and others to live a happy life

You look Fantastic! Keep it up.

Thanks for all the good comments folks....it motivates me for sure.

I now have a profile in the featured profiles section of this website. And my little feature as a vegan fitness model in this months issue of Vegan Health and Fitness Magazine.

Sadly I'm not going to reach my goal of 150 lbs. I get going good for a week or so and then unrelated stress takes me down and I stop eating. Naturally I only eat maybe 2000 cal a day because I'm naturally a very thin ectomorph. Forcing 3000 - 3500 cal to bulk is very uncomfortable. If I'm stressed I'm lucky to take in 1000 cal because I feel like throwing up all day.

goal achieved today....just a few extra sips at the water fountain...

Congratulations!

Nice progress, really liked your profile on the main site =)

I love reading the profile section of this website. I am glad you're profile is there.
You are very deserving.

Precision..... your back & your waist to shoulder ratio is awesome!

This week marks the peak of bulking and now transitioning to cutting for a May competition. Hopefully get some "big "pictures this week. I got up to 151 lbs on the gym scale (without any water loading this time).
I'm also taking a personal trainer course and the plant based nutrition course from Cornell University. Fitting that in with teaching and 2 workouts a day is tricky.
Here's a fun vegan promo shot from tonight.

I measured a few things yesterday....
bicep 12.5 inches
shoulders 42 inches
Waist (narrowest point) 28 inches
Hips 41 inches - I'll lose at least 4 inches in the next 4 months.
BMI 22.5 % approx...and that's gonna get down to 9 % or less!

looking good, wish my v taper was that good! are you going to log your contest prep? will be interesting to read if you do

yes will be updating every few weeks now...

cool, look forward to following, and good luck!

what weight did you start at last time?

OMG, I would die and never want to be seen again if I weighed 151...I am also 8 inches shorter than you, I think.

So inspired by your continuous journey!

How is the sleep going this time around- I know you have mentioned in other training that sleep is often a problem.

I just had two peeps at my gym today ask how I stay so lean, fit and muscle fit ( for a girl, dag- nab it...and old)...I just looked at them and said, "I do it vegan?"

You Rock it Princess Warrior Stix!

lol.
It is really a psychological game being this big. It is the biggest I've ever been but I have focused on embracing it and enjoying the size and I succeeded. With good posture and good fitting clothes I look awesome. Its not weight that matters its body proportions and being solid rather than flabby. My waist is still tiny and I'm still super hot. (I bought a big C cup bra to make my proportions perfect. Nobody would ever guess I'm a double A with the chest of a 9 year old boy) I love dwarfing the other girls at the gym and even some of the big guys get out of my way at the water fountain. I love being a hulk-b*tch. And I know I will lose it really fast when I'm cutting so I'm cool with it.
I'm 13 lbs bigger than I started at last year.
I'm still on sleep meds and have slept good since I started them in November.

The "BIG" pics from tonight. I'm not pumped up for these photos though.
Divamom...tell me if I look too fat at 150lbs. I'm soft and not cut but I think as long as the waist is small its ok to get however big you can on either side of it lol.

yeah i agree, extreme v-taper or x-frame is where its at! small waist BIG muscles!
