i was getting really frustrated because i was doing amazingly well on everything and gained 3 pounds so this morning i was like- whatever- this is my last hope and got out my tape measurer and i guess i ve been gaining muscle and still burning some fat off because i dropped some inches! my waist went from 31' to 29 1/2', my lower abs went from 38-40 to 36', my hips went from 41' to 38', and i don't think my thighs have changes much in the inches part but they re a lot more firm. exersizing felt soooo good this morning that i did a taebo 1 hr. advanced tape and 20 minutes of sit-ups(really slow and muscle working), pushups, the plank position, crunches, reverse crunches(really good for the lower abs- where you lift your butt off the ground instead of shoulders) and twist- situps and a few belly dance moves. what i ate today is spinach( 5 grams fiber, 40 cal.), 1 boiled egg (70 cal. 6 grams protien)and some light miracle whip(30 cal). i feel so good right now! *sigh* it's hard effort but it's such a great feeling just to get up and do it and stop feeling bad for myself. GET UP AND CHANGE TO WHAT YOU WANT TO BE!!! this morning when i was doing taebo- billy blanks said in the video "you only got one bady, not 50 so treat it right" and i thought 'yeah- i do only have one body don't i? well then i'm going to change this one body into the body i want!'. i love it- billy's so motivating. taebo is the best workout ever. sorry for the long post- just wanted to share...oh and by the way- one hour of taebo for me being 5'5' and 149 or so pounds means i burn 1176 calories, plus the afterburn and the sit-ups and such. so yeah- that workout really rocks...and my biceps do too;)my abs are a different story though....:( so any tips appreciated!!!

whoops- i meant what i ate [i:3d55cc2855]so far [/i:3d55cc2855]today- i'm planning on eating at least 1200 calories today, but less then 1400- but i'm really going to try to eat mainly natural foods with only a couple servings of processed carbs and such...

hey success, i am very concerned about my abs too. they are about the only part of my body i really dont like. i was reading a book about myths last night and it said that doing crunches to get flat abs is a myth because you first have to reduce fat around the midsection. i think doing crunches does help but only after you lose fat from around that area so the defintion shows. the best way to get rid of fat is cardio so if you keep doing taebo and crunches you are bound to see a difference. good luck! :D April

thanks!
