    Mayday midriff - Berry's bare belly challenge

    edited December 2024 in Motivation and Support
    Get your belly out for the guys and gals!

    The rules are simple, on 1st May you must do a workout of your choice in a crop top or sports bra top, shirts off for the boys (though for reasons of equality you're welcome to wear a bra top too!), and post a photo of the results. It doesn't matter if you show off at the gym, cool your midsection with a run outside or just shyly hide that gorgeous tummy at home!

    What you do over the next month to get a tummy worth showing off is up to you. Personally I aim to mix up my cardio with a variety of harder, faster sessions and start lifting again, while eating healthy grub at just a tiny calorific deficit to keep my soon-to-be-exposed midriff happy! I foresee many planks in my near future too!

    Who's with me?

      absolutely! I like to set an event like that. My belly is the last problem area I have, so having to post a picture of it may give me the push i need. Planks indeed.

      Pfft, you have a super-flat belly to die for already!

      Well, I've been hoping another month would make the difference I want to see. And I do need something to help me keep on track. So with some fear and trepidation, I'm in.

      Well, heck! This is just the motivation I need! I'm in!
      I already have "before" pictures, too! :)

      We aren't allowed to wear bare midriff shirts at our gym, so I'll have to take a picture at home aftewards...

      My Speedo ought to be back from the dry cleaners by then. I'm in!

      Ok, I'm in! It will be too chilly by then to run outside with a bare belly but I can take a pic inside.
      What to do - revisit my ab workout on strength day and add some planks to running days I think :)

      I'm in (although I'm more likely to be doing this at home! lol) I may work up the nerve to wear one of my tighter fitting or tank tops to the gym soon!

      I am in! I'll have to really kick it up a notch to be even somewhat comfortable doing this. Good challenge!

      OMG, I am freaking out ALOT but I am in. I really don't like people seeing my flaws so this will be great motivation for me.

      This is scary. I'm in.

      Blimey, I can't believe you svelte lot are so scared! For some perspective. here's a photo of me the last time I had the figure to bare my belly in public about 15 years ago alongside my MFP "before" photo. I've come a long way, but I've got just as far to go!
