    Hey ladies I hope it's not too late to join. I also have 2 young kids. My son is 2 and my daughter is 5 months. My belly is all droopy and it makes a muffin top when I put on pants. I guess that what happens when you gain 60+ pounds twice. I will start righjt now.

    Great list, I'll start in tonight!!! I know right off the bat that I'm going to do it every other day though, my abs are a mess and will need the recovery time. :laugh:

    Good job you guys. I'm nervous about doing it tonight. I've gotten a little sore since this morning, so I'm sure when I start on them, the muscles will be resisting majorly. Need to take photos though tonight. Can't wait to see the pics next Tuesday.....

    Taking a picture is a good idea, I'll have to do that tonight!! After day two I am a little sore:cry:

    Welcome to everyone new!
