Do you think you would ever have a tummy tuck to tighten the loose skin?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794524267188153785.post-3748774195295748172011-01-10T09:10:18.847-08:002011-01-10T09:10:18.847-08:00ugg I just wrote a long comment and my kids got on...ugg I just wrote a long comment and my kids got on my computer and shut all my windows when I got up to answer the phone. I can't remember everything I said but have you got on the "oh she glows" site and watched the video of the guy on there? http://ohsheglows.com/run/abs/ <br /><br />You could track your progress by seeing how many of the exercises you can do, or how long you can hold them for. You could do a "fit test" now, in the middle of the challenge and then at the end to see how much stronger your core has gotten. By seeing how many more you can do or how much longer you can hold them for.<br /><br />That's an awesome giveaway I have her shed 5 fast that I still haven't done and then I think 2 of her bootcamp dvds. It's hard to think about the fact that it will be so many months before I can think about working off the chub I'm gaining but it's fun to watch what other people are doing so it can hopefully get me motivated for after I have this baby. I should probably keep up with exercising right now but my morning/all day sickness is just barely starting to subside.Darren and Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610907446636352786noreply@blogger.com
