If anyone follows Teen Mom 3 star Mackenzie Douthit on social media, it’s clear the Oklahoma native, 21, is obsessed with fitness. On Saturday, Nov. 7, the mother of two’s hard work paid off when she competed in the Grand Prix Championship bodybuilding competition in Tulsa, Okla.
Though Douthit didn’t reveal how she placed in the show, she looked great in her hot pink bikini, posing in new photos from the competition. The former MTV star has been training for months, and flashed her ripped abs in the photos.
Less than a week before the show, Douthit posted several photos of her bikini body via Instagram, writing, “This is after 6 meals, 2 gallons of water and 3 hours of cardio (not in one setting) and I only do that much cardio the week before… Starving yourself is never the answer, but unfortunately eating a box of donuts isn’t either.. Learn to find that happy healthy balance in life.”
She lamented the fact that she couldn’t find a swimsuit that would cover up her C-section scar, but it wasn’t even noticeable as she competed.
“Being a beginner at this, I’m by no means where I want to be, But I do however know I’m not going to stop until I reach my dreams,” Douthit, who has been open about her struggle with diabetes, continued. “People who WANT something in life, MAKE it happen. I’ve been so frustrated with all the set backs I have had with my random days of bad blood sugars, But that dumb disease will be the LAST thing that stops me.”
Douthit also praised her hubby, Josh McKee, for his help and support in her bodybuilding journey. Posting a selfie from the competition, the blonde cutie wrote, “This man has done everything he could to make this day happen for me. Having a good support system is the only way you can get through something quite like this sport. Telling me I did great through each event and what I could do to do better tonight.”
And just because one show is over doesn’t mean that bodybuilding is behind Douthit. On Monday, Nov. 9, she tweeted, “Took one day off and I’m already ready to start training again. Addicted or nah ???”
