She went from “get as big as possible” to quitting cold turkey overnight. From what I can recollect - and assume - I think it was a boyfriend breakup that caused it. I remember her posting a bunch of pics from being on vacation with him and then poof: he was gone as was her muscle obsession. My guess is he dumped her, made some not-flattering comments about how she looked and was changing, and that spiraled her to a normal life. Womp womp
> I think mentioned before but Georgina hated both the negative attention and the general attention her body got. She also blasted pretty hard pretty early. > > Maybe some good news on the Shannon front for those who were fans--now the post-partum weight is starting to come off pretty well, and she may or may not consider an implant reduction since they're a little ungainly for crossfit if you take it seriously. Looks like she wants to get back to her Super League look, before the surgery, and could be interested in shooting again.
Georgina McConnell was really huge and gorgeous but yes she really hit the juice hard early in her bodybuilding life. But I saw on Facebook years back that she quit bodybuilding got married and has a family. So basically she's gone back to being a total girly girl.
Sometimes its just burn out but thing is you can always come back and you can always start it's a sport were there is no age limit like baseball and football were you have a short period of time. Bodybuilding is timeless in a certain way
A couple of other Canadians did though. Gen Villenueve and a Julia
Seems like slow and steady wins the race for these gals. The ones that blow up overnight flame out 1-2 years later
Danita Ross. I'm surprised she hasn't been mentioned despite her mind blowing biceps peaks from very petite arms.
This pic is from Women's Physique World Magazine, taken in 1992, the last year she competed:
And she did actually quit after her last competition. She placed third in the MW class; the winner just had better presentation, in my opinion. The MW winner went on to win the overall, which I do not feel she deserved. The HW winner was a massive monster and should have won the overall.
I feel if Danita kept at it, and improved her posing/presentation, she would have qualified for nationals and amassed a greater following.
Yaritza Negron was marvelously built at the best:
Then kind of just disappeared from sight without a trace. No clue if she's still into fitness or quit the world of fitness.

I was wondering what the heck happened to her! She was so thick and was primed to make her presence known and then POOF! Gone jut like that!
Jenny Couture was looking big and buff at one point. Looks like she has quit though
This is first vid of Jenny Couture I've seen. Any more pics and videos of her?
A lot of great names here but I'm surprised Fabiola Boulanger hasn't been mentioned. She was damn near everybody's favorite for a short period while she was on the scene. And was also thought of as the next Ms Olympia winner guaranteed. Sadly she went from BB to physique, and then she vanished not too long after that. Idk why she called it quits but she was on a whole other level for a short time.
Agreed. Achieved maybe all she could and got out while the getting was good
