Introduce Yourself!
Hey ladies...I know lots of us know eachother already from other boards...but i know there are some newbies on here. So introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about yourself. Lurkers...come out!
Ill go first...though im sure many of you are familiar with me...
Andrea...from Illinois...why i still live here...who knows...i hate snow and cold. 26 years old. not married...have a boyfriend, but shit, lately...i dont know man...maybe i should start looking again! no kids...and honestly...not a fan of them...maybe one day...who knows. going back to school...sociology. though id rather just start fresh with nutrition. been into fitness my whole life...i say fitness not athletics...never got into organized team sports lol. didnt get serious into weight lifting until i was 19...started competed in figure at 22. crossed over to bb this fall. loved it...not looking back. wont compete again until spring 2010. have some lats to grow and some mass to add to my back this year! ive met many great e-friends over the last year and a half since ive been active on the boards and i look forward to making new ones from this board. currently...im a little too heavy for my offseason...i got about 7-10 pounds to lose. i told myself yesterday was start day...so far..ive been good for two days lol. i cannot have many carbs at all...so start day yesterday meant...gotta stay away from the oatmeal and cereal.
okay...enuf about me. im sure you all know plenty about me already and for those who dont...you will.
welcome again to all.

I will go second. I am Lisa Boushard and i live in St Louis MO I am going on 43 and have 3 cats named Shadow, Scratchy and Flex. So not far from Illinois and we get the snow and all four seasons each year. I have lived here my entire life and would move at any given moment to experience life in a different place preferably not north and cold weather lol I have been married 2 and a half years to my hubby Joe. I have been competing in bb since 2001 and have competed in all weight classes offered so far except for heavyweights which i hope to do this year. I have been working with Dave palumbo for the past 2 years and must say I have NEVER looked this good on stage in all the years i have been competing. I trust him and can't wait to see the final package for this year!!! Colette does my routine and music so i am sure it will be off the hook this year again!!! It is great to have a wonderful team and a great website like this one to have all the support and guidance to help us all reach our goals.

your post reminded me...i have 3 cats i am crazy about. but whn i moved out of my ex bf's place a year ago, my new apt doesnt allow pets. so for the time being, he has them. i get visitation rights as often as i want though.
rudy, cleo and sweet pea!
dave has brought u into your shows with out of this world conditioning lisa. i did keto this year when i switched over to bb..i work with pj braun, who is a client of dave's...and i must say..i never looked beter too. keto definitly works with my body.

I'm Rachel, 25 years old and live in Portland, OR. Was a swimmer in highschool, started lifting my senior year. Decided to try figure last year and had a blast! Going to do the OR state and LA Championships this year, see how I do and take it from there.
Work for a software company and LOVE it! Have a boyfriend-no kiddos, I like to be able to just pick up and go whenever I want so no animals either. I read a lot (it's the only thing helping me get through cardio!) and I am just starting to play my violin again.

i'm not too keen on giving out my name and location online, due to some bad past experiences.... so i'll just say that i am currently overweight... i have a background as an equestrian, i used to bodybuild in highschool, was always pretty athletic, until i graduated... then i have steadily ballooned up, have lost weight and gained it back.. and now i'm at my heaviest around 400lb.. i'm 5'8, goal weight is 150 or so... give or take 20 pounds. lol i don't really know what i'm supposed to weigh, but that's just the goal for now. i'm 25 years old, female and want to drop the fat and get the body i've always dreamed of... which of course has muscles! when i was in HS i loved bodybuilding, so i want to get back to it.. once i get back to a weight where i can ride horses again, i want to do that as well.. i am also interested in rock climbing, sky diving, learning how to ballroom dance and i want to be uber flexible and strong. i'm not concerned with loose skin or whatever right now, because it's kind of stupid to worry about my skin when i am as fat as i am. lol i will get it cut off or do whatever i need to do when that time comes around, but for the moment, i don't really care. getting HEALTHY is the main concern for me! if i can build a nice body on the way, then why not?
i have 1 dog, he's a pyranees.. i definitely recommend the breed to anyone, because mine has brought me an immeasurable amount of joy. he will be 9 years old this october, and he still looks like the little 17 lb fur ball my dad brought home for christmas almost 10 years ago!.. except now he is about 100 lb.. lol funny thing.. i can keep my dog in shape, but i'm a fat ass.. chaps my ass. i don't know why it is like that. lol but i'm working on it! (probably love him more than i love myself)
um... i'm definitely into natural medicine, natural cures for stuff, organic meats and produce... i love baking stuff and cooking in general. lol i can make a plethora of types of food... thai, indian, korean, chinese, japanese, mexican, middle eastern dishes, raw, vegan, vegetarian, etc.. i'm not much for hamburgers and hot dogs, i hate spaghetti and most pasta dishes... i have never been normal in any regard, be it with food or my taste in guys or whatever... as for food, i prefer some kind of rich curry dish or spicy korean food over mcdonald's any day... um.. i support legalized marijuana, but don't smoke it. it's such a useful plant! you can make rope, clothing, gas, etc with it.. it's also healthy and extremely nutritious to eat the sprouts, nuts and oil... i don't know why it's illegal! pot heads are generally on the slimmer side as well!
i want to become a farmer and own a ranch. i would LOVE to be able to grow my own food. i'm very interested in sustainable agriculture and sustainable living, and not having to rely on electricity so much (or at all)... i'm pretty traditional.. i like simple stuff.. i'm a penny pincher.. i don't have any kind of debt.. i own my own business.. i am happy overall.. i've done a lot of cool stuff in my lifetime.. and plan to do a lot more!
i have an affinity for astronomy, i love science fiction, slapstick comedy and documentaries.. i am divorced, and have no interest in dating or anything like that right now (don't know if i ever will!).. i have no children.. like many, i am not too fond of them.. i don't mind them in small doses, but i can't see myself being the one to change all the diapers and get out of bed to go take care of them when they're crying and all that... i like my sleep! lol
um.. i'm pretty independent.. i have a knack for foreign languages... currently learning to speak japanese and hebrew... i'm very religious (messianic)- but that does not mean that i am judgmental... lol it's not my job to judge anyone, so i try not to. of course we all slip up sometimes.. but i guess what i'm trying to say is that i am not a narrow minded person that thinks everyone's going to hell for whatever reason. i'm definitely not perfect myself, so i can't sit there and judge you!
someday, i'd like to learn how to play classical piano and guitar.. i've always wanted to learn how to play bass, too.. but one thing at a time!!!
my family are all pretty big and strong.. my dad's side is short and stocky (but my dad is 5'11 lol!).. and my mom's are tall and statuesque (but she is 5'5 lol!)... i have aunts that are 6' tall.. and relatives on both sides are very strong. i have natural bodybuilding genetics. example: my great grandfather used to work in a coal mine in kentucky.. he shoveled 18 tons of coal per DAY, and there are receipts to prove it!.. also, a lot of my uncles have been green berets.. one even guarded the white house.. my dad was an 82nd airborn paratrooper, and just happened to be roomates with [ame="http://forums.rxmuscle.com/showthread.php?t=10166"]mike ashley[/ame] when they were in the army (see pic below) so he learned a lot about bodybuilding and stuff from him..
And there ya go! lol I could go on, but who really cares?
