Lol, i really hate side planks, but they help and work quite a few muscles, i can only hold it for like ten second and then have to go down for a sec (Or ten, lol) then go back up!!!!!! With a window of two weeks to loose as much as possible, we need to push ourselves and that's what I hope to do, push you guys to lose HUGE =]
Have a great day guys!0 -

10 Mins weights - managed 5mins so far but will try to have a go later!

Check to all!!!!!!! And I feel fabulous! Am losing quite a bit of weight (need to check my measurements to see if I'm losing any inches). I have done 'Leslie Sasone walk at Home' every day (found it on youtube) and I'm loving it!!!
Weighed in at 195.5lbs this morning (I know that's a lot from Monday but the weekend does tend to be a little less structured for me so I do weigh a little more).
Anyone getting a little excited for next Saturday???? I am!!!! Though I'm nowhere near ready for the day! I have many pressies yet to buy, whoops!0 -
