Jamie Eason

Who doesn't like Jamie Eason?
She's very popular on the internet, and she seems to be a very nice young lady, who actually goes into forums and posts.
To get into the incredible shape you see here, Jamie used a personal trainer and nutritionist.
It looks like it really paid off.
I can't really find much on her in the way of contest history....
Maybe someone out there can tell us where she has competed.

Besides being a fitness model, she is a computer software consultant.
Jamie has been on the cover of Oxygen Magazine twice.

Melissa Merritt

This sleek and muscled 25 year old from Austin, Texas is Melissa Merritt.
Melissa won the Figure Overall title in Las Vegas at the Fitness America World Championships on November 21, 2008.
Melissa just ran a Fitness Bootcamp with fellow fitness stars Abby Marie and Brenda Mikalajunas.
Abby Marie is also being trained by Melissa.

Amanda Latona

Amanda Latona isn't just a fitness model.
She's a print model, M.C., spokes model, host, actress, bikini and fitness model competitor and a singer!
See?
None of these ladies just do one thing.
But this lady has a really diversified past.
Amanda was born on March 24th, 1979 in Pittsburgh, PA.
When she was 15 her family moved to Orlando, she got involved with Universal Studios there when she was 18, then she got involved in an all girls singing group called Innosense.
Innosense may not sound familiar to you, but let me tell you the bands line up.....
The original members were Danay Ferrer, Mandy Ashford, Nikki DeLoach, Amanda Latona, and ....Britney Spears.
Yes that Britney Spears.
Amanda also dated Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean for two years.
Jump forward a bit and Amanda had been working with a personal trainer.
She thought it would be fun to enter a fitness competition and set her mind to that.
You can see from the above picture, she more than succeeded.
As a matter of fact she became a two time Model America Champion, and she'll be in Muscle and Fitness this summer.
I think this lady can do whatever she puts her mind to.

Melissa Dettwiller

Melissa Dettwiller was born on November 12, 1977 in Houma, Louisiana.

Tiffany Forni is a self confessed “Fat Girl turned Fitness Nerd”.
This young woman is a testament to the fact that you can achieve your goals.
She started out with nutrition, and was lucky enough to find a nutritionist in a store that helped her.
After losing 30 pounds she decided that wasn't enough and went to Bodybuilding.com online.
Yes... online.
There she found people to help her get motivated, and on the bodyspace section she actually found a coach to help her.
You can read more about this and get all the details at her very own fitness site... http://www.tiffanyforni.com/
