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.”
Danielle Reardon goes through her posing routine for judges during the Mr. and Miss Wesley Chapel High School Bodybuilding Contest Wednesday night. In the end, Reardon took one of the top female trophies.
“There were 20 male contestants and 13 female contestants vying for the coveted Mr. and Ms. Wesley Chapel titles and the large trophies that went with them.
Perhaps the least intimidated contestant was senior Danielle Reardon, who took home her second straight Ms. Wesley Chapel title. Reardon, a cheerleader and female weightlifter, showed plenty of poise and some strength and flexing moves that might have won her an adult female figure contest as well.”
“It was while I was in college as a soccer player, that I first began lifting weights. All growing up I had a muscular build, although very skinny. In college I found I liked training and started the desire to be a bodybuilder. I wanted to look like Lenda Murray or Cory Everson. When I graduated and moved home, in 1997 I decided…time to do it kid! I started training and in 1999 I did my first NPC show, the WOMEN’s EXTRAVEGANZA as a middleweight of about 124 pounds. I took second. The next day was the NPC East Coast where I again took second to Mona Caravetta who went on to take 6th the following week at the Nationals. However, I met a wonderful man that day, STEVE STONE, who to this day remains a friend. He took me aside and said, the reason you took second was because of this, this and this. I said “OK, I now know what to do for next year!” He said “NO, do it all this week and do the Eastern USA next week in NYC.” So, I did it. I did what he said, and came in to win not only my class, but also the overall. I was thrilled.”
