NAME: Kathleen Tesori AGE: 25 HEIGHT: 5Â4Â WEIGHT: 114 pounds LIVES: Salt Lake City, Utah
STARTING OUT: “I really liked working out in the gym. I started cross training – I would say freshman year of high school. There were a couple other girls in my age group that would hang.”
CIRCUIT TRAINER: “IÂm in the gym Monday through Thursday. Friday through Sunday I do activities at home or stuff around the neighborhood. I do cardio three days a week at least for a half an hour. I circuit train, doing four exercises in a row working myself to death the whole time!”
NOT-SO-MELLOW YELLOW: “I didnÂt do a lot  I did gymnastics, dance and cheerleading. I couldnÂt do sports with other team members because I took things too seriously. In soccer I would always get yellow carded or have to sit on the bench for a time out. If someone pushed me, I took it as a personal offense and push her right back. I only played one year of soccer. That was enough.”
HAWAII FIVE-O: “I had a friend tell me about this contest. She said, this would be perfect for you. I used to do Hawaiian Tropic contests, but itÂs easy to tell that I work out and Hawaiian Tropic is always looking for a total soft body.”
AIR TESORI: “I am a civilian working in the Air Force. IÂm a logistics management specialist. In a nutshell I manage inventory for one of the weapons system in the United States. I just pretty much call it the right place the right time at the right cost and piece all the pieces together to make it work.”
SPOKESMODEL: “I always study products before I represent any company, so I will ask the company to send me any information that is relevant. I love traveling and I love talking with people.”

NAME: Andrea Taylor AGE: 23 HEIGHT: 5Â4Â WEIGHT: 113 pounds LIVES: Riverside California
STARTING OUT: “My senior year of high school I gained 20 pounds over just a few months. So I decided it was time for me to start exercising. It took me about eight months to get where I wanted to be. In the process I met some great people at the gym and got my personal training certification. IÂve been working out six days a week ever since.”
PLAY IT AGAIN: “I entered the contest last year. My husband and I were planning on going to the Mr. Olympia anyway, and I saw somewhere that FLEX magazine was having a bikini model search. It sounded like fun, so I thought I might as well do it again, weÂre going anyways.”
BANG BANG: “Like all women, the bottom half is super-hard to deal with, so I worked really hard on the lower half. Plus, being there and not winning was a huge motivation for me to come back with a bang.”
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE: “I was four years old when I started dancing  ballet, jazz, tap  all that. When I was in middle school I started cheerleading into college, and then started coaching. Cheerleading and gymnastics was a big part of my life. For some reason I never loved cheerleading, but I love dancing.”
BRAINS AND BEAUTY: “I graduated from UC Irvine in three years. I came into college with a lot of college credits from AP classes in high school . I worked really hard took and more than a full class load every quarter. I saved my parents a lot of money!”
MAD WOMAN: “IÂm in the gym six days a week for two hours a day. I do cardio anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour and lift weights for the next hour. I always superset, so I do intervals and circuit training to keep my heart rate up. I lift heavy and then I lift quickly  I just slam it out and just sweat like a mad woman!”
