But there is one particular international crown the Raymond Terrace 47-year-old has well and truly made her own.

M'Gee won her third Australasian Masters Womens Figure title at the IFBB Australasian championships in Sydney last month, adding to success in 2007 and 2008.

On what she refers to as a "clean" and healthy diet of fish, chicken and kangaroo meat and low levels of carbohydrate, M'Gee worked herself into stunning competition shape.

"The sport gets a lot of bad press because people say we starve ourselves," she said.

"But that's not true, we eat every few hours and constant eating speeds up your metabolism."

M'Gee said she took up the sport as a dare, shaping-up in time for the Australian Natural Bodybuilding North Coast Classic in September of 2005, and never looked back.

"Someone dared me to do it so I did, and won that tournament," she said.

Now, while juggling work, training and parenting with her new bodybuilding workshop for beginners, M'Gee said she relishes her involvement with the gruelling sport.

"I wish I had started 10 years earlier, then I would be a lot further along.

"I do [the workshops] because I love seeing how a body can change.

"But personally I want to be a role model.

"Being a single mum, it does get tough, but I want to show other women that there is no excuse."
