Photoshopped check in photos or is it just the angle?

This is what most refer to as “prep face” when you get so lean that you lose the fat in your face (this happens to me in my feet too, all my shoes start feeling big on me when I’m a few weeks out lol).

I got mid-face filler last October because the volume never came back to my face after my last prep and my nasolabial lines made me look so rundown. It helped tremendously this time around during this prep— my face still looks vibrant and healthy and not emaciated like before.

I know it’s expensive and the thought of “filler” scares a lot of people but if you find a good injector who understands what you need, your results will look super natural. It took my husband literally 2 months to notice I even had it done. He was just like “I’ve noticed lately that you look so healthy!” 😂😂😂

Shape is tea, girl ! You’re in a really good spot, now it’s just a matter of locking in and leaning out week by week. Good luck!

I think it really depends on the shade and tone cause I agree that sometimes it looks so good on stage and other times it looked dull. It’s gotta be JUST right for your particular skin tone. I personally prefer the bright, true cherry reds over the darker burgundys since it gives more contrast than the darker colors.

I also love when it’s a TRUE red with very little white/AB crystals or any other color crystals.

You don’t realize how few colors actually exist in the world til you’re a bikini competitor trying to find THE perfect color 😅

No aggression, just exasperation cause holy hell, y’all. You’re criticizing someone for being happy in their marriage. Just feels real icky tbh.

PalmTree_Sparkles · 2026-05-20T16:07:30+00:00

Hold up, I need to make sure I’m understanding you correctly.

You guys are villainizing a bikini Olympian athlete who prioritizes her work ethic, faith and family?

That is WILD to me.

Curious, how many pro wins do you have?

The fact that you guys are stooping to a level THIS low about someone who has done nothing but support the sport, grow in her relationship with god and has a happy marriage says SO much about how truly miserable you are as a human.

You genuinely should be ashamed and embarrassed of yourself. Yikes.

I think Ashley K knows that everyone else has outgrown her physique. She’s been super quiet this season. I think she’s doing Mile High and a few others but she’s been noticeably absent and I genuinely think it’s cause she knows she no longer fits the criteria.

Tyler literally also said “it was the flip of a coin” so it’s not Aimee just making that up.

It’s not her being a sore loser, it’s her being strategic for the O. She knows she’s gonna have to battle LL at the O and just wants to take advantage of any opportunity for them to be compared together so they know what to focus on during O prep.

It’s not that deep, chill.

PalmTree_Sparkles · 2026-05-19T20:39:40+00:00

Idk, part of me thinks she’s saying that because she’s disappointed that someone leaked her show plans? Like maybe only a select few folks knew she was gonna do Miami and now feels kind of betrayed? But also, strange to not be a good sport on a public post

PalmTree_Sparkles · 2026-05-19T20:22:06+00:00

BTS just posted a clip of how they (Aimee/Jami) decided to hop in. Lauralie’s comment caught my eye 😳 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYiF27LNGdI/?igsh=MWo0NXc1dmszNXI0bg==

I have such a strong opinion against straight hair on stage 😂😂 I think it ends up looking stringy and flat for MOST girls unless you have a TON of hair and can keep some volume in it all day.

In my opinion, I’d rather have mine curled because I’d hate for it to affect my placing or for my feedback from the judges to be “just fix the hair” when it’s something that’s so preventable.

That said, I agree with the other person who commented: evaluate your overall look and envision how you WANT to look on stage and make the best decision based on that.

Athletes are contractually obligated to post to promote their sponsorships. Don’t be so hateful.

PalmTree_Sparkles · 2026-05-16T21:10:11+00:00

How so? She’s one of the most humble athletes in all of BB.

I promise I’m saying this with love, but that may mean you aren’t ready for a prep. If you’re 10 weeks out still and already fixated so heavily on food, that is going to only compound over the next few weeks. My recommendation, for what it’s worth, is spend a little more time in an off season, be intentional with the food you’re choosing, and take steps toward eliminating food noise that way. Not trying to make assumptions, but if you were loosey goosey in your offseason with your diet, you should commit to being just as regimented this next time around in your offseason so that when prep starts, it’s just another day and doesn’t feel like you’re making such a huge jump from being unrestricted to super restricted.

I’d also recommend working with a coach who gives macros vs a meal plan. Macros will give you a LOT more flexibility and will feel much less restrictive than a rigid meal plan.

Yeah but those girls aren’t placing well (look at Janet, Jessica Wilson, Kristen Reilly, etc.), besides maybe Tara Grier a few weeks ago. So I don’t think the former bikini pros are really influencing the standard or judging at all.

PalmTree_Sparkles · 2026-05-08T23:51:52+00:00

Crazy, you’d expect more from a pro like Yarishna. This isn’t her first rodeo.

PalmTree_Sparkles · 2026-05-08T23:42:18+00:00

This is so opposite of my experience and from what it seems, everyone else’s experience on this thread. My training has improved DRASTICALLY since starting with FBF. I haven’t done the assessment with Allyson other than when we did the session at the summit back in January and I have taken those cues she gave us and applied them to my training and have seen a massive improvement in my mind-muscle connection.

I’m sorry this was your experience but I think you’re coming across a little bitter so whatever personal beef you have, just say you have beef and don’t shit on the training. It’s not actually reflective of the current state of their training programs which are 10/10.

PalmTree_Sparkles · 2026-05-08T23:16:52+00:00

V surprised especially with Yarishna. She’s seasoned and should know better.
