Should I join this challenge? Can I just tell you how many hours of contempletion I've given it? I know that challenges work! I met SweetCher and ValidRouge in my first challenge and it was just what I needed. I know that I need it again. There's no way I can keep up with this thread but I will check in daily a few times. I pledge 5 pounds (don't ask). Now I have to click 'post reply', it's been like 3 minutes since I typed this. Okay, I'm in.

YaY Silly,
You're in a challenge with us again. It feels like home now!

It took me a whole day to get the nerve to post these pictures....
Why does the back side always look the worse?
I am dying over this.....really I am.....Good thing it's late, maybe
everyone will miss this post somehow...hee hee...

Obviously I need to do more stomache crunches....i'm going
to do that right now...bye....

Michelle,

I could post Bikini pics and you'd really feel great right now. You have
absolutely NO fat on your legs... do you realize how lucky you are! You
have almost perfect arms now. I bet your husband already adores you
exactly the way that you are. All you will be working towards is sheer perfection!

But then, that's the fun part
just wait until you see your labor day pictures!!!

Michelle, you already look great! I'll second Cher about your arms and I would kill for your curves! Just think how you're gonna look 2 months from now!

Thanks Cher, boy i was hoping no one was up this late, and somehow the thread would be bypassed....bad lighting makes the legs look good, I actually have a lot of cellulite on them at the moment. I would have taken outdoor pics, but I don't want to concern the neighbors, they already think i'm from another planet... My husband does like my body, he told me that again tonight, but I want to wear a size 6 again, not a 14....All my clothes are size 6 from before the baby 2 yrs and 9 mo ago....so it's hard to see all those clothes hanging there, never getting worn. I can't wait for labor day to see the results, i'm very excited. Hopefully I can throw my "Target" granny bikini out...hee hee...

So much for my late night sneak pictures in attack!!!! Doesn't anyone go out on Friday night anymore??? LOL

Thanks Paula, you are very kind to a "red faced" girl behind a computer screen. Again, it's bad lighting in the bedroom, the new "white lights" hubby insisted on getting...

Ann,

I just had to let you know... I love that picture of you!
It's great seeing you in those pants...seeing the progress that you've made.
But are those incredibly worked out abs that I see there???
I'm sooooooo impressed, way to go with the ab's!
I want a tiny tummy with great abs like yours

Thanks so much for the kind words. I don't think my abs are great nor is my tummy tiny, but there is definitely a huge improvement from 30 pounds ago! My favorite workout is Pilates and that really targets the midsection.

Re: WORK IT!: The 2007 Labor Day Challenge Thread, Sign-up and Reporting

Michelle, there is no flipping way you can be a size 14!!!!! I'm flabbergasted! I wore a 14 two sizes ago and I assure you, there is no way in blue bleeding **** I looked like that in a bikini!

As for your question: NO! My Friday night partying days are long behind me. <sigh>
