Hi! I'm new here, but have been reading some amazing stories that have given me hope! I'm a mother of 3 in the Air Force and have been struggling with my weight. I saw a pic of myself and finally said I needed to do something about it. I started watching what I eat and also exercising. I absolutely love to run now!! I even bought a bikini this yr!! I haven't worn a bikini since I was 17!! I was pretty stoked about that!

I have lost 20 lbs so far. I'm on hold for the exercise right now. I just had some surgery and can't do anything for 6 wks. I want to, but I don't want to prolong my recovery.

Does anyone know what to do for the abs? My stomach has gone down, but it's not firm. Still got the jiggle stuff going on. I watch my intake and was doing all kinds of different ab exercises. Any input would be appreciated!

I haven't reached my goal weight yet. I hope to make it by Sep/Oct timeframe. We'll see......:p
SW: 148
CW: 128
GW: 110

I attached some pics. I don't normally do that, but I wanted to share since I read some of your amazing stories.....Thanks!!!!
 
You look absolutely terrific!!

I wish you continued success as you reach your (around the corner) goal!!

As for abs - I'm not there yet in my road to my goals, I'm currently only walking, but I'm sure there's tons of info out there for tightening the abs.

There is a woman in the Before And After Forum, I believe her screen name is northernmomof3 (I know that's wrong, but it's the closest my memory comes to it) ;) She posted some truly amazing and inspirational pictures and she swears by the Turbo Jam dvds - you might want to check out her thread.

Good luck and welcome to the forum!

Yep, I DO swear by Turbo Jam. I'm just hooked. I've seen more toning and definition in my abs since starting the dvds back in April. ;)

Congrats on your losses so far! I think you look GREAT girl!!! And I'm wanting to be you in that last pic....standing in that gorgeous water!!

Fitness Ball

I recommend the fitness ball. I got one at target. You can get one at
wal-mart, Target, Shopko. I think i got mine for about $20.00. I love it. You can feel the pain after the first few crunches. There are instructions in the box with about 20 different excersises. I have seen improvement from it in a short time. I will never stop using mine. :)
I hope this helps you. Good Luck.
