Many people have emailed me saying they’ve tried everything but are unable to reach their fitness goals. When I ask them a few questions, it becomes quite obvious that they haven’t really tried everything. Below are a few examples: Are you following a clean diet? “Yes, but I can’t give up chocolate.” Are you exercising? “Yes, I walk on the treadmill. Isn’t that enough?” Are you drinking alcohol? “Yes, I can’t give that up.” Are you lifting weights? “Not really. I thought walking was enough” The truth is nothing preventing you from achieving the body you want other than working ...

I am really proud to announce that I have officially been endorsed by the Lebanese Ministry of Youth and Sports as an athlete and will represent Lebanon in my upcoming competition with the WBFF in Denmark. A couple of days ago I had the pleasure of meeting with the Lebanese minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Abd Motaleb Hennawi and the Director of Sports, Mr. Mohammad Ouidat.

The day started off with an early morning drive from London to Kent where the competition was being hosted with my group of girlfriends from Beirut ...

After an extremely busy start to the month of May, I am really happy to be back in Beirut and ready to focus on my next few goals. I finished competing in two fitness competitions in Europe and believe I have grown as a person and learnt a lot. I experienced what it is like to work hard and never give up. I pushed to my limits mentally and physically. I did not give up no matter how tired or weak I felt. I followed my diet regardless of how hungry I was or whoever ate dessert right in front ...
