You look awesome! I can't see your face in the after pic but I'm sure you look 10 years younger!

Good Job!

Re: Down 75 lbs!!

Sorry about the flash messing my face up! I have posted a picture to show you my face. Thanks for the compliments!

I do try to do about 100 crunches a day, but don't seem to get it done every single day. I have been doing more weight lifting then anything to get definition in my arms.

HOLY COW!! You are gorgeous!!! I can totally see the definition in your stomach! 100 crunches a day. That's what you call M-O-T-I-V-A-T-I-O-N! You look incredible. Keep it up

Is it true that your stomach is the last to go? I am just amazed at your abs- looks as if you never had a tummy before. Congrats and you are a huge inspiration!!!

Re: Down 75 lbs!!

My stomach was the first to go and then when it started getting really really flabby (having a child did not help it either) I started with the crunches. Doing 25 here and there totalling 100 a day.

Re: Down 75 lbs!!

So you lost the weight in your stomach first??!! I thought it was backwards. So I have two kids (2 c-sections) and am so scared my stomach will never look as good as yours. So do you think there is hope with crunches? Thanks so much

Re: Down 75 lbs!!

I do think there is hope with anyones stomach, don't let the picture fool you though, I do still have flab, especially my lower stomach from having my little girl 3 years ago, but at least a bathing suit hides that for the most part! LOL

I don't know why I lost it in my stomach first, but after day 7 on Atkins it was the first thing everyone noticed was going away...then slowly everything else started going too! I still have 10 more lbs I'd like to lose (my legs if you can tell).

I'd do some crunches, but make sure that you do cardio too because you will never see your stomach muscles if you have a fat layer over it, and cardio will help get rid of that fat layer.

Thanks to everyone for their support! Some days I don't think I could have gotten through it if I hadn't of come here first for the discpline you guys help give!!
