Body building has been my passion for many years.
I have trained seriously since 1990.
This page follows my progress to 2001 when
I competed on the world stage.
In 1993 I entered my first competition held at
a local gym. This gave me the bug to one day
compete in the ANB.

Stan's Gym October 1993
Back to the TOP
The ANB is the Association of Natural Body Builders.
and in 1998 I entered my first competition.
The South East regional qualifier was held in
Hertfordshire in the August. Training hard since
the early part of the year, watching EVERYTHING I
ate, I dieted down to my goal weight.
It doesn't stop there, practicing my routine to
1 1/2 minutes of music, coating myself serveral
times in protan, (which I can only describe as
being painted in creasote) plus frying myself under
numerous sunbeds...........the day finally came!

The qualifier was a long day, with judging in the morning
then in the evening was the show. A bundle of nerves
I stepped shaking on to the stage and performed the routine.
Relief and joy swept over me as I received the trophy
for 1st......now to the finals.
The finals were held about 3 months later.
More dieting and hard training then ensued.

The day of the finals was awesome. Standing on the stage with the other finalists,
we posed, even standing still, you can't imagine how knackered you feel.
I placed 6th in Britain, for my first time, I couldn't believe it.
The competition was really hard the other competitors were in the best shape of their lives.
To anyone who competes the feeling of acheivement you get when you finally
stand on the stage after so many months of hard work, it is hard
not to be proud of what you have done.
To know more about the ANB see the site link www.natural-bodybuilding.co.uk

I had a year off then decided to
take the plunge again in 2000.
I contacted Lee Williams who is a
pro Natural Body Builder and with his
and Katrina's help with my routine,
posing and diet I got in the best shape
I had ever been in.
(Please see link further down page for contact)
There were 7 competitors in the South East,
and it was tough. All the girls worked so
hard and backstage there is nothing but
respect for each other.
I managed to win. I was so terrified on stage
it doesn't get any easier.

The finals were even tougher with winners from
all the regions the best of the best.
Again there were 7 competitors in this class
and the judges have a tough job to do.
The Athletic class is one of the hardest
classes to define and when it comes down
to it there are variying physiques.
I was over the moon to place 2nd out of Britain.
It is an unbelievable feeling when you
have spent years for that moment.

I hope that reading this will encourage more
women to compete in Natural shows.
When you stay Natural the benefits of training
are all positive. You feel great,
have more energy, the diet is healthy
and you become physically stronger.
It can also strengthen your bones which
for a woman is a plus for later on in life.

Well 2001 was the year! I finally won the British Championships.
This was awsome. Qualifying in the South East
there was again a good turn out with 7 of us.
Then 5 weeks later there was the British
finals held in Cambridge. Last years winner
was competing and this year there were
9 of us.The competition is a high standard
and saw some excellent physiques and routines.
It is good to know you are up against hot
competition. I have met some really great
people over the years and everyone has
a lot of respect for their fellow competitors.

The picture on the left is me finally realising
my dream. WINNING THE BRITISH FINALS.
I had come so far and worked so hard
over the years. I was grinning from
ear to ear and it was a very humbling
experience. You stand there in front
of everyone and you cant believe you
could be that good. All the hard work,
physically and mentally is all for this
and it is totally overwhelming.
After winning the British I was invited
to compete in the World Championships.
This was being held in Sardinia 5 weeks
later. This was a dream I had never
expected. Unbelievable! This was so hard,
I had to keep dieting and training to
keep in top form, it was going to be the
third show in about 3 months. This was
amazingly hard, just when you think you
can relax you have to keep going.

The world Championships was an amazing experience.
There were 10 of us who were all British
Champions going out to represent Britain
as a team. It was brilliant to speak to
other competitors and all they have been
through to get there. I cheered them all
on through all their classes. After we
all had a blow out meal and a good old
fashioned piss up. I made some good friends.
I wish them all the best. Thank you
I had a fantastic time. :) For the first World championships I had entered,
I wasnt expecting to get far, if I placed
in the top 6 then it would be a bonus.
The day came and I was astounded.......
I placed 2nd in the World.
What an amazing acheivement,
to stand there next to the cream of the crop
and do so well. It far exceeded my wildest dreams.
Below are my pictures from the U.I.B.B.N
World Championships 2001.

Bodybuilding has such a reputation of cheats using steriods and women
especially looking like men in bikinis, most people do not understand
the hard work and dedication natural people do.
