Hi!

i am also training for a figure competition =]

the 3 most important things u need do is

have a good diet

lift weights

cardio

you want to eat a lot of protein in your diet. about 1-1.5 grams per pound of body weight. next you need healthy carbs for energy.

like sweet potatos, oatmeal, and brown rice. You also need good healthy fats. You can get those from nuts, olive oil, and fish.

For training, i'd suggest doing 3 full body workouts for 45-60 minutes a week. And do 30-60 minutes of cardio 4-6 days a week. Dont be afraid to lift heavy and hard.  

here are some websites with some great info

hope i helped

good luck
