ALL-FEMALE ABS SHOWDOWN 2008 Due to increased female-inquiry, I'm launching an all-female online Abs Showdown for 2008 - beginning when a minimum of 5 entries are in - 11 weeks total! Why an all-female? Well, during the Abs Showdown 2007 (check it out to see showdown formatting), females expressed interest in joining but weren't too comfortable competing side-by-side with men. Hey, I can understand that...and it's cool. Now, you have your own showdown.Why an Online Abs Showdown? Prize Poll Voting
Polling Starts Now !!!
Ending Thoughts
 I congratulate all four of you. While others just dream about gorgeous abs but remain fence-sitters, you took the step to make it happen. To those who didn't make it to the finish line, hey, you tried. That's much better than wishful thinking. Hoping the experience is a jumpstart to something equally as lofty. AS Bob Marley would say, "she who abs and falters lives to abs another day."
And to Angele and Ariane, who went the whole 9 yards, what can I say? You two leave me awed. You guys rock! I never had it that focused when I started but you guys kept plowing through...on times when it was easier to watch tv, when you had to say 'no' to that decadent dessert, and when you were at the point of failure but strained to do that one last rep. Give yourselves a nice tap on the shoulder...you've earned it. Warm hugs and kisses to you all...--- TheLoneRider *** Interested to join the next All-Female Abs Showdown? Check this out ! When we reach a minimum of 5 applicants, we commence the showdown.

It was nice being in the competition especially that for me it was more of self-competition. It was good that I can see the other's effort because it pushed me to go on...But it was tough to stick to a healthy diet, to lessen intake of sweets especially that as you avoid them they just become more enticing (Haha), to avoid getting affected whenever friend's tell you that "you're no fun..." or "what are you reducing for?," and to stick to cardio, and the many reps to improve how my abs would look like. -- Ariane
