I would say wait until next year but if you really want to do it for the experience go for it!! Level two shows tend to be bigger and the girls will begin to get more muscular and leaner as you move up. The OPA is leaning towards a little softer physique as opposed to the CBBF where they want bodybuilders. You have the all the winter months to build up so i wouldn't worry too much about that.
For the diet...theres a sufficient amount of time if you start now. We have several people getting ready for the level 2 show in Brantford on Nov. 25th.
Good luck...let us all know what you decided
