for abs i usually do some sit ups, oblique crunches, rocky sit ups, and frog kicks


If you have any questions about what something means just ask! also cardio depends on how i'm feeling that day (sometimes a walk to the supermarket or tredmill)
 
hey, 1.5lbs is still excellent! remember that you've lost the "easy" part, and now it's probably be slower because you're thinner, and also bc you're building a lot of muscles!
Maybe you should also chek the changes in your body fat (I think it's possible to mesure it with certain scales); then you'll see that it is reducing, even though you don't lose that much weight.
 
whoa thats a pretty serious difference in under 30days. Way to go. You're face and you're stomach are looking alot more toned and sexy.

keep up the grat work. Just think of where you will be in another 30days
 
thank you all!! =)

it makes me laugh to see my getting tanner too (i started tanning around the time i started going to the gym)
 
even with that 1.5 you can still tell a difference! notice in your side photos the crease in your back in the beginning, is not a crease at all anymore but a beautiful curve! you look great!

well i got down to 171, then jumped up to 173 for a week, now im at 172. but i havent strayed from my program, and i have been doing lots of weight training, so i might be able to link those extra two pounds with muscle gain.

you keep me motivated too! new month! lets kick junes butt!
 
the past few days i've been bad (eatting a lot - all healthy food but still eatting a lot).

so june 1st is pay day and i have night class so that day i'm going to the commissary stocking up on healthy foods and i'm really gonna focus!

*BIG NEWS* my husband (who i havent seen in almost 3 weeks now since he got transferred) hasn't seen me since i really started going to the gym and getting in shape but he will be coming to visit me for 5 days in early july!! =) very excited for him to see me in shape!
