2 years ago, I was very overweight. I hired Diana Dennis to do my diet, and went from 45% body fat to about 17%. When the fat started coming off, I started to notice incredible muscle mass underneath, not only that but in perfect symmetry! It was at that point I decided to train for competition. I hired Jeannie Paparone, who was then Nationally qualified (now IFBB Pro), to do my diet and training schedule. My body really began changing at that point. I would look at Jeannie and think "my God, shes HUGE! How can I ever enter a competition".


As the months went on, I began getting more and more comments on my muscularity, on my transformation. Id go to the mall and began noticing people staring at me. And eventually people started going out of their way to approach me and comment on my physique. I cant count the times I had asked Jeannie "do I look like a bodybuilder?, and she would laugh hysterically, "yes Shellie, you do", but it seemed that I never really noticed the changes as much as others

I am now in my second year of training, bulking now for the 2004 LV Classic. I have put on some quality size and have gained some SERIOUS strength. I thank God, my parents (for my genetics), my husband, family and friends for standing by my side, considering the persona that is put on FBBs these days. Without their support, I would not have been able to achieve my goal. And I f you think youre too old to start bodybuilding now .. THINK AGAIN. am in my 40s!

Here she is today at the age of 51, and her results at her latest show are:

1st place womens heavyweight, 2nd place womens masters, 2nd overall at Muscle Beach Championship on sept 5th
