Vicki Nixon, IFBB Pro Athlete
I
was born in Memphis, Tn. and moved to Va. when I was 5 yrs.
old. When I was 15 we moved to Wilmington, De. where I spent
most of my life until I met my husband who is a police officer
in NJ and also a competative bodybuilder. I started lifting
in 1984 looking for direction and something to sink my teeth
into. I was hooked! I did my first contest in Philadelphia,
Pa. in 1985 and continued from there winning numerous overall
titles. In 1992 I went to the Nationals & Jr. Nations
where I placed in the top 5 at the Jr's and 12th at the
nationals. I became ill in 1996 (diagnosed with liver disease)
and was on medication that made me very sick, weak and unable
to compete. Finally in "2001" I decided to give
it another try even though I was still pretty ill.

I
won 3 more contests that year. After
all those contests, I fell ill again and went back on
medication to try and put my
disease in remission... 1 year
later I succeeded (so far)! I
was ready to give it one more
shot! In "2004" I
have competed in 4 contests,
where I won first place as
well as the overall in 3 out
of the 4. My last contest (the
Team Universe held in NY on August
7, 2004) was my "LUCKY" show,
I won my class and the overall
which entitles me to go to
Spain and compete in the World's
competetion in September where
I will respresent the USA in
the lightweight division. So
after 20 years of bodybuilding my "Journey
has just begun!" This
overall placing (from the Team
U) also qualifies me to get
my "Pro
Card!"
