[StylistJennifer]

Okay, so last night was my sons Wrestling Banquet! I video taped it...I got called to the front because of helping etc.....OMG!! 'I know I know' I need to lose, but when were up in the mornings, putting on makeup, fixing our hair....we think "yeah I REALLY need to lose, but the makeups good.....and dang the hair looks good....and we walk out the door.....The full body....we know it....but "I" try not to look....I can't see the ENTIRE picture, standing in front of the mirror....Put yourself on cam.... .OOOOOOOOOOHHHH.....I cheated to....Do we have confessions thread?? haha....At the banquet, I had 2 soft tacos w/ meat & cheese....It was good I just hope it doesn't throw me off too much. I am a month today and haven't lost in 2 wks.....(on the extended)
So the thing I noticed the most....My back and shoulders....(and the roll around the middle)I feel HUGE there....Ok, I "look" huge there. I'm the apple shape maybe, no butt.....all up top... I could critisize myself forever...but what kinds of exercise pinpoint that part of the body??? I got the belly too but I know what to do there.....and later as I lose, I need to "tone" the butt.....help I need one haha....

Jennifer, I'm just like that now, can't stand to see my self on tape or in pictures. I'm shaped the same way, Apple shape, which is a very dangerous health risk for diabetes, heart disease, breast cancer, much more so than a Pear shape. They say a doctor can tell just by looking at a woman's shape what diseases she "may" get as she ages. That stinks, but all the more reason to stick to this diet!

Weights for back and shoulders, but I really don't know what. The only exercise I know of for stomach is the crunches, and I hate floor exercises. Does anyone know of something else? I really could use it too. Sorry, I'm not much help.

There was a similar question here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43078

From there, I looked at shapefit.com They really target things down to certain areas.

I hear you on the video. Last night, I saw one of myself from a couple years ago in two videos - OMG! Made me sick...That's what everyone else sees where I don't... Made me all the more determined here.

Re: I saw myself on video HELP!

I hate having my picture taken for just that reason. I always think I look good and then when I see myself how everyone else sees me, I think My God! Why doesn't anybody tell me???
