Re: January Abs challenge sign up and report thread
50 for Sunday. BTW is anyone noticing changes in size? I can feel the muscle in my stomach but since there still seems to be fat on top of it, it seems bigger, Of course I didn't mease but I wondered if someone else had. If so or if you have any insight to offer, please post, I would appreciate it.
Help me.

Mendo, are you sucking in your abs when doing your crunches? You will get far more benefit if you do it like that.
One of the main reasons for crunches is that they "train" your tummy muscles to be held in. So by sucking the abs in whilst doing it you get better results.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to "spot train". YOu cant just work your abs alone to reduce the amount of fat on the tummy area. That comes from cardio and regular excercise, but you can strengthen your muscles.

It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!
I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

Mendogirl, hang in there
I have managed to whittle 9.5 inches off of my waist so far! yes, there's still some padding but it also feels great to walk taller and feel stronger around the middle too (I'm addicted to abs lol)
