I must stress the importance (and fun) of taking progress photos. My first competition I neglected to do this, which is why I can tell you that it indeed is to your benefit. Why? Pictures don't lie--that's why! LOL! You and your coach will be able to better objectively see where you have improved, and more importantly what you still need to work on before hitting the stage. Below I detailed THREE main reasons to take progress photos throughout your journey. If this is your first competition, I suggest taking progress photos every 2 weeks, and then every week 4-6 weeks out from the competition to ensure you are on track.

Isha B's Example Progress PhotosThe photo in my yellow bikini is from November 2014. You will notice that I gained weight, in order to build the muscle I desired for my first show of the 2015 season (April). I suggest if you're someone who needs to build muscle, you may need to gain a few pounds in order to do so. I may carry an additional 7-10 pounds when I am doing this. Typically, I keep my weight pretty consistent otherwise. I'm someone that needs to usually gain weight for competitions, rather than lose it. 1-4 Weeks Out Progress Photos : March- April 2015Notice how the look of my poses change, as my body changes. When I am heavier the same poses are not very flattering to my physique. However, as I begin to lean out, the poses begin to flatter my physique. So be sure that your poses flatter the physique you bring to the stage. As your physique continues to change, you may find that you like or dislike certain poses more. 4 Weeks Out3 Weeks Out2 Weeks Out1 Week OutDay Of CompetitionI'm tanned and all ready to go! If you view the 'DIVA Experience Video'. This is that day. I placed first in Bikini A. I was so happy to start the season off with a bang!
