Burn The Belly

Waist- 29 1/2 inch
Around belly button- 37 inch
Hips- 41 1/4 inch


My belly button has been eaten by saggy skin. I have read that to do anything with the skin you need to flatten it and loose excess fat. I'll do a before and after pic

Sounds like fun. I'm in.

Waist: 28.5
Belly button 32.5
Between belly button and hips: 35
Hips 34.5

Must say I'm a bit confused about taking hip measurements, whereabouts is everyone actually measuring, the smallest area?

I also have a bit of tummy between my belly button and hips that is bigger than the belly button measurement, think i'll add that too...or are they my hips??!

Hips are around the largest bit so low you include some of the bum. I can't remember where I found that out but I was surprised because I had previously measured the smallest area

Count me in! Will post measurements tomorrow morning! Going to have one last cookout before I get really motivated! Jiggly belly is my biggest problem! :laugh: If I can figure it out I will post before pictures.. RELAXED! Because we all know we like to suck it in as much as we can when a picture is taken!

I'm in and my belly will be out! xD
I just joined few days ago, and have never been 'in' something, so I don't know what the procedure is..
will there be certain training you propose that everyone can follow, and a scheme like twice a day or such?

Anyway, my measures:

Waist: 83cm
Belly button 90cm
Between belly button and hips: 103cm
Hips 110cm

my hips are as large as my little cousin is high. XD

Welcome applechild! There are no official procedures in fact - we've just worked out for ourselves how we think we should approach it. Originally we were thinking of all following the same exercise programme, but it turned out that everybody has different options available, different preferences etc, so we are all doing our own thing exercise-wise, and just record how many calories we burn. As an example, I have several different workout dvds, and I'll be mixing them up. I also use an exercise bike. Other people prefer to go to the gym, or do exercises of their own at home. You will find most exercise has the calorie burn listed in the MFP database, but if it isn't there, you can add it. But many of us use Heart Rate Monitors to try and get an accurate reading fo the calorie burn. The important thing is to post your total calorie burn for the whole week every Tuesday - should be easy if you've recorded everything in your diary (you can just look back and add it up). Keep a check on measurements too. Who knows, you could be the one to win the holiday in Thailand ... only joking, sorry! :laugh:

I'm in what info do you need??? My tummy has been my trouble area for as long as u can remember...

I use cm the number was very high when I switched from where my bikini sits to around the toosh too. Ah inches....a great wat to make any metric user feel smaller.

I will put my pics up if you like (was thinking of waiting for a
after pic first) I just am using the phone so will do it when I
on the computer.

Oh no, that would make them enormous lol!!

Here's my before pics and stats:

A) Waist: 27"
Belly Button: 29"

There's a fistful of jelly just below my belly button that's my biggest gripe! I call it the pesky pooch.
Good luck to everyone! I'll be doing workout DVD likes the ****ens and jogging my heart out!

bout to load up on take-out Asian food. Husband just got home from Germany, and I think we must splurge a little I LOVE thai coconut curry! To the grindstone tomorrow!

count me in, I have tons of belly to lose!!

i soo need to join!

The belly has to go!!!! Count me in! :embarassed:

I'm in! Now I have to pick up one or two of those Jillian Michaels DVD's. If I'm starting with one, which is the best? Can I get them at Target? This belly needs to stop 'hangin' around!

I think the 30 Day Shred is the best, but they are all good. I'm in the UK so not sure about Target, but have seen a lot of people say they got it from Walmart.

Are we all going to post our starting stats? If so, here are mine:

Thinnest part of waist: 28
Belly button: 29
2 inches below bb: 33.5

I realise that this doesn't sound like I have much of a belly, but it does wobble, I promise. I also have a small frame. Oh, and I should add that I haven't had any children.

I'll do pics later and put them on my profile.

At the starting line ...

I forgot hips - they are 35. Took pictures of belly yesterday, but problem with my phone so can't post them yet - will try to sort out today. They are horrible!
