Love the bikini, you look great well done! Would you say it was lifting that flattened your lower stomach area? Just curious as I have that little area that just never seems to budge, I dont lift though! For reference, here's where I started. Like I said, not finished, but coming along! [/quote]

Do you not realise that the OP clearly did not starve herself? Look at that ab definition, you dont get muscles like that from starving yourself! Well done OP! I think you look amazing!

Impressive results in just 4 months! Well done!!

You look amazing well done! Although you looked good before too :smile: How long did this take you?

:laugh:

You shouldn't have got a cat then!!

That's just the calories for the sauce :smile:

Also someone who weighs less than the 130 pounds you mention could still be overweight if they are quite short!

I haven't seen that one. Where do you find it? [/quote] Where are you from? Im from the UK so if you live elsewhere that could be why.... They have it here in tesco, asda, sainsburys that i know of, the smaller shops dont tend to stock it

I use 'Pure' spread which is 60 calories per tablespoon.... I use the sunflower one, but they also have an olive oil one and a soya one, not sure what the calories are like in those alternatives though! I use it for everything, on toast, cooking and baking all the time-it tastes good!

I think it was actually her girlfriend who had the baby though, so this doesnt concern Jillian's body!

I have a knee condition and the 30 day shred makes them hurt so much its not worth doing, I have also read that a lot of people say it hurts their otherwise healthy knees... I have found Billy Blanks Tae Bo to be really good and because there isnt all this jumping about like other workout dvds I dont hurt my knees and…

I dont have any success stories but just wanted to say scientifically it is very possible for stress to cause you to put on weight. Stress hormones such as cortisol lead to a build of fat which predominantly forms in the stomach area! So reducing your stress levels may well help you achieve fitness goals and significantly…

The OU is great!! I am also a student with them now :) great flexibility as you say also considered highly :smile: only downside now is that new students have to pay increase fees, though the prices are still much cheaper than at brick unis! You don't have to work towards a degree either, you can do certificates, diplomas…

Wow you look amazing!! How long did this take you? Im currently around your start weight and my goal weight is 112 too!
