Your tummy looks really flat now. Great work!

Not gone (I still have SOO far to go!!), but shrinking -- I feel hopeful! This has been over 3 months.

I was mortified at what my lower abdomen looked like after having my daughter. The first 2 months of good weight loss didn't seem to touch my tummy, but then the third month showed a noticeable difference to me.

Wow -20lbs made a HUGE difference on you. Awesome.

Wow, you all look incredible! Thanks for posting, folks - it really is an inspiration. My tummy seems to need the most work.

And thanks also to those speaking about lifting, especially those mentioning they do it at home. I have no idea where to start with lifting (it immediately makes me think of giant weights in the gym - something I don't have the money for) and have just bought some dumbbells for using with 30DS - 1.5kg, 2kg and 2.5kg. Not heavy, but it's a start, right? What exactly is "heavy"? I just have no idea where to start! I need to make do with the weights I just bought because they were bloomin' expensive!

I saw your other thread too.. very inspiring =] Where does one begin with lifting though?
I mean my gym has that section, with all the loose weights right across from the machines and cardio stuff and I walked through once with a guy friend and even that got me judging looks..I'm not 100% sure women are even allowed in there! Did they stare and make you feel weird? If so, how were you brave enough to stay there anyway? I go to the gym at my college and the guys are very douchy there and I'm scared of them =[

Your post made me go "awww!" My gym has a powerlifting station where the squat racks are and that's where I do my squats and deadlifts. Then there's the big scary weight lifting section where all the dudes hang out. And I'll admit, the first time I went in, I was intimidated. But I was also very determined so I just put on my brave face, ignored everyone, and did my thing. And honestly, no one gives a rat's *kitten* what I am doing in that section. No one looks at me weird, no one tries to "correct my form" as if I don't know what I'm doing. It's totally fine! They're doing their thing, I'm doing mine. It's really not as big of a deal as it seems. You just have to fake it till you make it, confidence-wise. And the neat thing about working out in the weights section is that there's no ladies in there to sadly compare yourself to. There's no one-upping or jealousy or any of that. It's actually kind of empowering and I prefer that section to the ladies section.

I guess I just have to suck it up lol, thanks for the reply =] if you can do it maybe I can too
