    Oddly enough, no! Kidding - I do feel muscle under there, and I definitely feel that whole area looking better and feeling stronger. I've been trying on my two piece bathing suits, and we're getting closer, but not there yet!!! :smile:

    Welcome :flowerforyou: - do as many as you can - I still only do 20 push ups - I find them hard, but I am trying to build up (I should mention again that I do them against the kitchen counter! No upper body strength to speak of!). :wink:

    Sorry I've been too busy to get on the site.
    I partied at my college roomies wedding this weekend only to have monthly bloat so I haven't measured (figured it'd be to discouraging).

    Still here though!

    This is the kind of motivation I'm looking for...I can do this stuff, but don't really WANT to, ya know?

    this is what I have been doing...

    Crunches - 150 - 2 X a day
    Wall push ups - 80 2 X a day
    Lunges --- ?? haven't done them enough...will start them today
    Leg lifts -- 30 each leg 2 x a day
    Butt lifts -- 100 2 X a day

    and I do a Pilates video as often as I can each week .... tend to slack on that a little too much....need motivation!!!!

    Keep it up (especially AJCM - come on now...)!
