IFBB Figure Pro, Meriza DeGuzman checked in recently and shared a few notes worth mentioning. Meriza is heading into the Cal Pro on Memorial Day weekend and people will be seeing a new, refined package from the looks of things. Four years ago, she attended this event and it changed her life forever. It was this very show, which was the first pro figure show she’d watched, where she decided to try her hand at figure. She was kind enough to share a preview of what we’ll see the end of this month at the IFBB Pro Figure show held in Culver City, CA. This mom has shown that with a little hard work anything is possible. She’s balanced out her physique and added a bit of size to her short frame. It looks like she means business this year. Meriza has also been working with Ms. Figure International, Gina Aliotti, on her posing and polishing her presentation. Props to another “shortie” who looks to stand tall on the figure stage in 2008.

[Meriza]

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support!
Figure has and continues to be such a wonderful journey for me!

I have worked very hard this past off-season to make the improvements to my physique that we felt I needed, and have been focused on my diet since Christmas!

I wish everyone the best of luck at this show. I feel so blessed to be able to share this stage with all the beautiful, hard-working ladies up there! It still amazes me to see these girls!

See you all in 18 days!

Hey, Darlina!
Yes, we remember!
Meriza says "after the show, girl, we'll do it again! - Cheesecake that is!
Heather will be there again, too! and Michelle too! and Andrea!" hahaha - yup, and everyone else, too!"

Of course, we all ate very well that night, to my memory - Meriza's been eating clean since then - so I know she's craving that vanilla bean!

See you gals soon!
