Indeed Laura looks beautiful and will look beautiful whether she competes in figure or BB.
Jedi...The ONLY difference for Laura competing in BB instead of figure in 6 or 7 weeks will be how lean she gets for the day of the competition, which will not change the way she looks over the long-term. She looks beautiful right NOW, and nothing is going to change about that whether she does BB or figure in March. It's just a matter of how much conditioning she acheives for show day.
Obviously I understand the difficulty and challenges associated with day-to-day contest prep and dieting, and it IS more grueling for BB than figure. I do think that Laura would get a much greater sense of accomplishment and personal satisfaction out of competing as a BB, and I think she would love it.
But if she decides to go with figure instead, then I will respect that decision and support her all the way to the end! And I'll let her keep her contest prep thread here on the FBB Board as long as she updates it with lots of pics!

BTW, I have that tank top in pink, black, and gold.
