Don't have much more weight to lose but I'm still trying to improve my overall physical fitness and build some muscle. I'm pear shaped...I have noodle arms and thunder thighs lol! But my husband took this picture of me and my son a couple of days ago and I couldn't help but notice how nice my arms are starting to look (funny how you don't notice things like that in the mirror everyday). Just thought I'd share. Never posted any pics before so I hope this works....whole body before and after pics are hopefully just a few weeks away!

    Thank you, that's my pride and joy. Not too mention, I'm sure carrying him around all the time didn't hurt my arm progress any either lol

    Thank you very much! Girl, I've been doing a rotation of Jillian Michaels dvds and she seriously hammers the arms hard....I guess that's why I finally have "guns"! LOL If you're okay with doing a buzzillion push-ups, check her dvds out!

    Yes ma'am you should! I started out doing the 30 Day Shred, and after going through all three levels I added in Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and then No More Trouble Zones. Now I just do a rotation of the 3. I think I'll add in Ripped in 30 next. All of them are definitely challenging....I mean to the point that the first few times I felt like I was going to die, but totally worth it!
  • that is AMAZING! i have to put those dvds of hers to use!

    I do the videos she has ON DEMAND sometimes , I switch it up though when she has beaten me down too much :P

    Thank you! I started with the 30 day shred but it took me more than 30 days bc I started about 8 weeks after my son was born. After I had thoroughly kicked the Shred's butt, I started the 30 day slimdown which is just a rotation of The Shred, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones dvds. Other than that, I just eat healthy and my son keeps me on the move lol. Boys are definitely a blessing! I am crazy in love with my son! :heart:
    Here's the link to the dvd rotation if you're interested...you just have to click download the plan.

    I just put 30 Day Shred at the top of my Netflix queue. Seeing your results makes me want to give it a shot! Thanks! :)

    You're very welcome! I've just been trying eat super healthy stuff and kept my calories around 1400-1500 on weekdays, and I eat what I want (within reason) on weekends. Of course everyone's calories should be different...1400 is super low for someone my size (6'4") and like I said, I used 30 day shred for about 2 months 5-6 days a week and then added the other two in. It's so hard sometimes to get motivated, especially on the weekends but if you keep at it, it's very effective. I can't wait to see what kind of results you have!!!

    Thank you so much, my back and chest have changed a lot also! My little man is just learning kisses, he still opens his mouth to give kisses lol! They grow up too dang fast, hard to believe he's 8 months already!
