Profile Information

I Joined the Body Proud Community to: Find Motivation (ie. I am Body Proud Inspired)

My Facts 'n Stats:: Name: Shannon Lucier
Age: 26
Hometown: Windsor, Ontario
Height: Midget, kidding, 5ft. 1 inch (close anyway)

My Background // My 'Story": If you want to learn more about me visit my website at www.shannonlucier.com or www.seriespremierephotography.com

You can read my bio, view my pictures and get to know me a little better!

As a FAME veteran, if you have competed with FAME in the last 4 years you probably have met me at registration, backstage or have talked to me on the phone.

I call myself a jill of all trades and most will tell you "I do it all" :)

Profession: Shift Work, Personal Trainer &/or Fitness Professional, Entrepreneur, CEO

My Body Proud Beliefs:: I competed back in 2004! I started working for FAME shortly after and have watched so many athletes achieve their goals and step on stage to showcase their well deserved physiques.

Competing for me is just another reason to give myself a goal! I was first in it to win it, but it took working for FAME for me to realize it isn't about winning, it is the fact that I completed a goal and want to share it with the world.

I can say in fact that I am body proud, I might not ever be able to compete again but I love my body and I think that is all that matters.

My Most Proud Moments // My Claim to 'FAME':: My proudest moments have been when I have gone after what I really wanted and have achieved my goals. Whether it has been for school, a job, buying a house or creating my own business.

I am also proud of my family! I enjoy being an Aunt to 3 beautiful children!

My Prime Body Proud Goals:: Improve my Health, Feel Better about Myself

Timeframe &/or Plan to Reach My Body Proud Goals: My goals are to be fit, toned and healthy. Seeing all these amazing physiques on a daily basis really inspires me to stay in shape.

Every life comes with challenges it is how your handle those challenges that determines who you are. I believe things happen for a reason, you must learn from these things and always remember the most important thing in life is your happiness.

I Am Looking for Advice On:: My story, well it is an interesting one.......

I joined a gym when I was 19 thinking I was going to take the odd pilates class. It turned out that I thought the manager was cute and ended up working out 4 to 5 days a week. After seeing other people compete I decided to start getting serious about training and make a goal to compete myself. A year later I was on stage competing in my first figure competition.

Since than I became a certified personal trainer with Can-Fit and after I completed University and College I joined FAME World Tour and have been working there ever since.

I can make excuses however I became so involved in work, my training efforts dwindled until last year when I decided to get back into shape again. However a few months would pass when I would be diagnosed with Celiac disease and a few other issues.

My life is now consumed with watching everything I eat. Whether it is making sure there is no wheat or gluten (ie. contaminated oats, bran, rye, barley, wheat or spelt) or staying away from red meat, dairy and a lot of other things. I went from being able to eat whatever I wanted to be under a strict eating regimen. But by sticking to a diet of mainly rice products, chicken, turkey and veggies my weight is easier to control and I feel great.

I have had many challenges with training and dieting since I was diagnosed but I almost think it was a blessing because it got me to control my eating and realize my health is everything.

Also being in the fitness industry really helps to educate other around me including my family and friends. Watching people around you want to get moving and become healthier really motivates me to keep going.

Job Description // Shameless Plug for My Products or Services :-): I currently manage a designer handbag store but have started my own business on the side called Series Premiere Event Management and Photography.

Hopefully I can inspire people and create my own success along the way.

Status: single, looking for love

My Body Proud Journey Starts Here (Blog Entry #1): I was featured in FAME Magazine when it first came out in reader's digest size a few years back. I worked out on the Total Gym and tracked my progress. There was before and after pictures and my story appeared in a double page spread.

My Philosophy on Nutrition, Physical Fitness &/or Focused Thinking:: For every moment that passes by there is a single chance to turn it all around!

You only have one life, so just live it!

For every setback is a setup for future success!

I am Grateful For:: MY LIFE
