Hi there!
Hi everyone!
Bluebird found me on another message board and introduced me here.
My name is Abby-- I'm a 26 year old dork from the suburbs of Saint Paul. I was a swimmer through high school and college. Battled my weight for a number of years and in the last year lost 25ish pounds, did a triathlon, and did my first figure competition. I just started fitness modeling the last few months and it's been fun so far. WEIRD, but fun.
Let's see... I have a cat that I practically breast-fed cuz I love her so much. I have a great boyfriend who I've been dating for a few months.
I don't know what else you need to know!  Ummmm...... I'm afraid of the ocean and outer space, my favorite color is blue, and my hobbies include overdrawing my checking account and eating sushi. lol
Any questions-- feel free to ask!

Welcome to the board!!!
something Kinda off subject. My oldest daughter is considering U of M twin cities, and as a Badger I'm crushed, but can you share any info on the University and if you didn't attend there, what is the local scuttlebut? You could send a private message so it doesn't bore the rest of the good people here. Thanks, A1

Welcome AbbyMarie! Thanks to Bluebird as well! I am glad to hear about the success you have had. Keep up the great work!
As you might have guessed, I am also a cat lover. My wife and I have 4  I am also looking forward to visiting Minneapolis next October for a conference. I've never been to Minnesota before.

Good morning!
Actually I'm on bb.com as Abster82. I'm up for the bodyspace competition in round 2. Voting ends on the 7th!
THANKS GUYS! It's been a fun journey. A lot of work but pretty cool.
This is what I started out with @ around 170.
This is what I ended with on show day at 128:
Also, I DO NOT have weird buck teeth... wtf @ the shadows on my teefies on stage?!
So clearly, working out made me get tan and get dark hair. AMAZING!
Thank you so much for all the warm welcomes! I'll look around here more and contribute where I can. I'm a little bit mousey participating in show prep-type discussions since I've only done one show and I'm not exactly an expert. lol

Hey A1!
The U of M is a fabulous school. Huge campus but I have a lot of friends that went there that loved it. If your daughter is cool with large class sizes/lecture halls and taking buses to get to class, she will love the U. It's vast, busy, awesome, and there are a plethora of cute boys there.
If she wants smaller class sizes and a smaller campus, she should probably look elsewhere.

Welcome to the board.
I am on bb.com too but not as much on the forum, I have a bodyspace there as i am a writer and video contributor for them.
Happy to have you hear and happy to help with training or diet or whatever you need to help you excel with competition.
Linda
