From Bodyspace profile, a 50 year old Vancouver woman training really hard: ” Bodybuilding.com *Transformation of the Week* February 14, 2008

I have lost 55 pounds and 12 1/2 inches from my waist. My bodyfat has dropped from 41% to 17%. I have gained muscle in areas that I didn’t even know I had lol Now at 50 years old I feel good about my appearance once again and know that bodybuilding and clean eating is a lifelong commitment that I’m prepared to accept. When I look in the mirror I don’t cringe and when I shop for new clothes I can wear a size XS instead of a size 18! My focus now will be to gain more muscle.”

Her blog features a Rachel McLeish routine video and a Linda Hamilton scene from Terminator 2.

From her latest blog entry: “I’m back, training and dieting for the May 24th Muscle Mayhem. Chad Nicholls is the promoter, Ronnie’s trainer. He puts on a hell of a show. First place is a custom coat of arms. This will be the second annual.

I’m also doing my final test-judge for the NPC a couple of weeks later at the KC Natural. I’ll be judging at the Kansas State Show.”
