Reason: Laura is a very motivating person. She has made some awesome progress, and it won't be long she'll be competing for sure! She's got a contagious attitude, and very inspirational to fellow soldiers. Keep it up "Lil Dude!!!"

Reason: She's awesome!!

Reason: This gal is awesome, and a friend when I needed one the most. She is a real person that has made fitness a lifestyle, and as a result, has achieved awesome results. She is in the military, and time with friends and family is not near enough, yet she presses on. Her determination through it all inspires me to keep on going. Thank you, Laura!
