    Alright. I will do my measurements and pics as soon as I get home today. I'm currently at my volunteer job. I'm looking forward to doing...abs, thighs, and arms. I wanna rock it out of the park and finagle into my shorts by summer. I want to be able to wear my new capris, I never was able to wear them. I have had them for two years now! I'm doing this. I am not going to look back and say, "If only." No more. No more if only or maybe I should have. I'm going to push it and knock this fat into my past, toss it into a bottomless pit and get rid of it. As the saying goes, I'm not losing weight; I am getting rid of it. I have no intention of finding it again.

    Such a positive and motivating post!

    Good for you my dear! I love having a goal, and clothes can be ideal. Have a end goal dress or some awesome summer shorts :-D

    You will smash it Hun!

    Day 1 and 2 of arms and tank top challenge done :-)

    I love the first few days of these challenges when you feel immortal, rather than by the end of the month when I'm praying I live to see another day!

    Good luck guys :-D

    Days 1 & 2 complete. @Skipper111 totally agree! Much easier to combine a skipped day at the beginning too! :p
