so this is the first time i felt compelled to post anything on the success stories board..

but now i think i can say that i finally feel comfortable in shorts again! ive been working hard on my legs, and recently started pilates, and i can feel the improvement! my main goal is to get a tighter tummy, i can feel it underneith, but i still have a ways to go before im really happy enough to wear a bikini...

here are a few pics i took today to encourage myself!

    I am really in ove with the pilates right now, after 2 kids the tummy is definately not the same as when I was 20. But, it is worthless for cardio (according to my HRM). I have lost 2 inches off my waist though doing pilates and I guess that is all that really matters:smile:

    You look great now and so does your tummy, quit comparing yourself with others, a perfectly flat stomach is not normal.
