    OK, I know you're doing this! I meant are you doing something special for your waist like pilates or something?

    I'm not sure pilates is 'special'... :-)

    You can't spot reduce. To lose fat off your stomach, you need to do cardio and lifting, and ensure you've got your cals in / out in good balance.

    No I haven't done anything special......yet! I've dabbled in 30DS but didn't complete it as I got quite poorly with a virus. I've brought Turbofire but I haven't started it yet.

    I think those inches have gone purely because I've got so many to get rid of lol! My body has just had a major kick start :)

    I think you should post your before picture. You know you're never, ever going to look like that again right?

    I'm not ready to do that yet, it still feels like it looks too similar to how I feel I look......if you get what I mean! I know I'm making great progress but until I feel like that is a completely different person I can't do it.
    I will post them one day :)

    Congratulations!! Sometimes it's the inches and not the weight - everyone should measure!

    In 6 weeks I have lost 16.5 inches over all! I have only lost 3 pounds but the inches amaze me. I have been going to the gym and doing kick boxing and body sculpting twice a week (each) I love kick boxing and I know that is what is kicking my *kitten* good bye!!!

    I didn't post my before pictures until I had my first set of progress pictures, so completely understand. I do my progress pictures every 2 months. Now looking at my "before" is almost surreal. I don't see the difference in the mirror, but when you look at the progress pictures the difference is huge!!

    PS: Thank you! People always ask how I shrunk my waist so much, but honestly just walking and eating right nothing belly specific. I think genetics plays a huge roll in where we carry weight... So I just have my mother to thank! LOL

    I'm glad you're able to see it. It takes time for our body image to catch up with our body. :-)

    Building myself up to post the pics tonight...............gulp!
    I feel so worried about doing it, makes me feel quite vulnerable. I wonder if everyone that post their progress pics feel the same or similar?

    I've lost like 15 inches off my waist.

    Mostly from cardio.

    I haven't built up the courage to post my pics. Hell I haven't even taken any. You look great =)
