MELISSA FANNING
Runner-up, Heavyweight
We've featured the mighty Melissa Fanning before, two years ago after she impressed at the NPC Nationals with both her shape and size now and her transformation from the shape and size she had been - a whopping 127kg - that's 280lbs! Back then she was saying "it's not all about chasing the elusive pro card" thing. However, after being 4th, 3rd and now 2nd at her last three national shows, it is perhaps still "not all about" the pro card, just a little bit more about it.
I am one step closer to 1st place and a pro card; so there's no slowing down now! she said afterwards. Time to focus on what needs improving and show up at the next show 100%. The Nationals perhaps? I do hope so. I'm almost as happy to see Melissa again as she was to be back on the stage after taking 2016 off. Being on stage is truly my happy place, she told her Instagram followers, next to a picture of her beaming and flexing during her routine. Even though the show is over in a blink of an eye; the adrenaline I feel when I'm up there is totally worth all the long hours of hard work.
Back in 2015 we noted she'd been up for "The Most Under-rated Amateur Female Bodybuilder in the Country" on Promoting Real Women in 2014. The spectacular package she showed off here should bag her another nomination or two.
Enjoy!
