    Sorry, my tummy is my weak point- not only the size, but it is a minefield of stretch mark, thanks to my beautiful daughter....

    I wish you all the best on this challange, but as they say on Dragons den:

    I'm out!

    I'm in? Yeah...I'm in. 8 minute abs from the droid market and healthy eating. Plus some planks, of course.

    how are people planning to tackle this? I've not shown off my belly for over 5 years D:

    I reckon I'll be happy with my belly once I lose about 5 more lbs, but I've kind of plateaued.

    So my plan for the month is:

    kettlebells every other day
    callanetics every other day
    + about 30-60 mins of exhausting exercise a day (6 week 6 pack, circuits, 30DS etc)
    ~1200 cals /day
    have 'bloat friendly' foods: lots of veg, avocados, oily fish and probiotics (not so much bread and crisps!)

    what are your plans?

    I am so in... It will be relatively close to when I leave for Florida and I might as well plan on buying a new swim suit that day!

    Core Pilates here I come...

    This is my first post here on mfp. I like the sound of this challenge, so I'm in!!

    My current workout is basically cycling to and from work - but it's a 22 mile round trip, so I think it will have a desirable effect!

    I terrified to try this. It means I should do it. If you're goals aren't scary, they aren't a challenge, right?

    I made my husband's day. He likes Berry's bare belly challenge.

    So, worked out the other night.

    The postman came to the door.

    I forgot that i didn't have a shirt on. the look on his face is priceless :D.

    Well, I don't give a ****, this is the first time I've ever been midriff answering the front door.

    :laugh: Love it!

    I've got to say I often do my home workouts in just a sports bra top. I imagine I look like Cameron Diaz until I look in the mirror!

    I'm making the most of the long weekend to kick start the belly-busting. I'm off to the gym any minute now to do a mini circuit - 10 minutes running, lower body resistance, 10 minutes running, upper body, 10 minutes running CORE! I'll be doing kettlebell swings, planks, side planks with tuck-unders and V-sit kettlebell twists.
