    I haven't taken measurements, but here's how I'm doing:

    01/04/12 - 203.5 lbs
    08/04/12 - 199.5 lbs (- 4lbs!)

    The amazing thing is, I started my TotM on 1st April and have had it all week (it only stopped this morning), so that's two months in a row I've shed weight during my TotM. From now on I can make no excuses to myself with regards to that, because I've proven I can still shed the weight (I actually gained slightly a couple of days before it started, but it came off again pretty quickly).

    I've joined the Zombie Apocalypse Challenge, so I'll be doing cardio, agility and strength trainnig for 9 weeks as part of that challenge. I also have my gym induction this Friday and will be starting my couch-to-5k training next week when Xander goes back to nursery school.

    Feeling great! :)

    Friday: Walking in the park (until I find something better since there's no classes at my gym I like and I'd rather walk outside at the park instead of on a treadmill
    Sat/Sun: Bellydance practice

    -The Corset Workout printout - I swear my lower back and stomach have completely transformed WITHOUT turning "pop-star-flat"

    Really? How many sets, and how long have you been doing it? Tried a set yesterday and felt the burn. I plan to incorporate it this week!

    I do that exercise along with 3 other printouts as she lists them online - 5 days a week . Still going strong too!

    Checking in:

    April 16th measurements!

    *April Wk 3*
    Wt: n/a (I do not own a scale :S)
    waist: 29 3/4 inch.
    hips: 38 3/8 inch
    bust: 39 1/4 inch

    Workouts committed to Wk 3:

    Cardio: 60 min of assorted cardio (rotating with walking and the elliptical - and now thanks to my parents BIKING!!)
    Strength: I have pretty much stopped my usual regimen of 21s (bicep curls), butterfly bench presses and pull overs. However I have been doing my new pilates from "blogilates" 5-6 times a week! I have stopped doing the Post Thanksgiving Tune Up, instead I have been doing a different one.
    I am doing :
    -No Shy Thighs printout
    -The Corset Workout printout
    -Inner Thigh Gap (yes, I hate that name too)
    -Cinch in That Waist

    Good luck everyone in the week to come.

    Down one pound in a week with my TOM so I'm pretty stoked about that! Not measuring BF until next week since I'm likely holding more water this week. Can't wait until Monday! Still doing the same routine, although no yoga this weekend! Did some cardio and abs instead. Cheers pinup gals!!!

    April 23rd measurements!

    *April Wk 4*
    Wt: FINALLY KNOW THIS ONE! I am sitting at 160 lbs!
    waist: 29 1/2inch.
    hips: 38 inch
    bust: 38 3/8 inch

    Workouts committed to Wk 3: 1hr15min cardio - plus my usual pop-pilates. I have noticed that I have been doing them pretty quickly, but it's still feeling like it works :)

    How are all of you lovely ladies doing?! It's the last week in this challenge, lets show this month what we're made of!!

    I have been royally sucking at doing my pilates :( But I have been having a difficult time this week (aunt flo is being evil...) Not looking forward to Monday, but I will do it all regardless.

    I have been keeping up on the cardio though - if not getting even better than I thought! Well, we shall see how I do. Hope you all are having a good time too!

    Totally forgot to check in last week (oops!!)...

    Goal weight on 4/30 = 145

    4/2- 151.6
    4/9- 152.0 <
    TOM :sad:
    4/16- 149.8
    4/23- 149.6
    4/30- 147.8

    Didn't make my goal weight, but I AM learning not to rely so much on scale victories. Glad I was consistent with my pilates, as I definitely feel stronger than I did last month.

    HUGS TO ALL MY PIN-UP GALS!!! :flowerforyou:

    FINAL MEASUREMENTS:

    April 30th

    *April Wk 5*
    Wt: (haven't weighed myself again, so I will go for the 160lbs again)
    waist: 29 1/8 inch
    hips: 37 1/2 inch
    bust: 38 5/8 inch

    I feel pretty good. All in all I have lost around 1-2 inches off of everything this month. I do wish that I had kept up with my pilates better, but I was told to cut back. Very proud of my cardio though - the past week I actually found myself doing more than I had originally planned (tonight I biked for 2 hours! - Never thought I could do it, but I did!)

    Hope you all did well! Who's up for another challenge for May?!

    Here is where I ended the month:
    April 2012 (vs. March)
    Weight: -6 pounds
    Hips: 44 (-2)
    Waist: 35 (-2)
    Bust: 41.5 (-1)
    Thighs: 24.25 (-1.25)
    Size: 16-18

    I am up for a new challenge. Hoping to fit in more pilates this month. And it would make me very happy to lose in the waist faster....

    My bust is shrinking a bit, but oddly it doesn't look so far off. I have been looking less pear lately. Hmmm....

    I've started a group for a May Challenge - do any of you have an idea for a new challenge for this month? Please reply to the new thread with any suggestions :)

    Thanks!
