March on!!! To greater Abs! (Revised) never too late to join!

ok Lets do this!  Who's in this????  I will go thru the Feb ab Thread and update all the pre Feb and Post Feb measurements!

Orange Loft has agreed to help with any questions or whatever!  With the new Private message Feature, it may help anyone that isnt comfortable asking questions on the forums.

Ok start lining up so we can March our way to Better Abs!!!  Geez, Im cheesy!

IF you are interested, here is all you have to do!

10 minutes a day for a month devoted to your Core/Abs is all we are asking! and if you are doing the Minutes challenge, this gives you an extra 70 mins a week! :)

If this is a new thing for you let us know and we will help you out.  how about if you are interested give us your starting measurements and put Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced.  This way we know what type of workouts to suggest for you.

  There were soooo many in the challenge last month maybe it would be good to pair up?  Newbies with people that have been working their abs long enough to help them out?  this way you have a one on one to keep each other accountable without anyone slipping thru the thread.

would anyone be interested in doing that?  Now that we have the private message feature, it would be helpful to comment back and forth to one another

Everyone-

we had to revise this post and the other one will be gone soon.  since the other one had been edited by a moderator, I was unable to go in and add names to the list.....so this is the thread to use now!!!!

Okay, Here it goes 41.5

EEEK! Ok....40

That was humbling! :o)

starting.. around 26 ( I don't have a tape measure, so I use a thin piece of fabric/ ribbon, mark it and measure it with my ruler)
this is as accurate as i can get!  i've always had a little waist, it's the pouch on my stomache i should probably measure. . .

edit: intermediate level

nl06182n-  is it above or below your belly button that is the problem? 

I updated the list for you guys. 

GADS!  Thanks Slappy but....oh to see that # in print is weird! ;o)

kallie- do you consider yourself a beginner/intermediate or advanced?

You have to remember ...you have acomplished training before girl! get in that mindframe!!!!  RAHHHHHHHHHHH!

**runs back in room** I'm a beginner.

you are paired with Mefunk.  Just trying to figure out what to do with Mrs. Army up there....

My measurement is 32.5

I am going to do complete measurements  now that you made me look at myself naked. ** wants to go to the state of Denial**

Need a partner.

:)

below's the problem area.. above my belly is pretty slim, but no ab definition (yet!)

I would like to have a buddy! I think that would help me out a LOT!!!

Sheilacc , I'll be your partner if you would like.  You and I have had about the same journey here and are at about the same weight now.  I think we could be a good encouragement to one another.

Slappy, I posted my waist measurement on the other thread, but I see my name isn't on your list above yet.  Please add me on.  I just remeasured myself and got 33".  Got all my ab exercises done for the day, too, Yay! 

? Peggy <*)))><{ ?

nl06182n-  I know what you mean.  My lower abdomen is my problem and working on gaining defintion.  in the workout link, there are some great workouts for that lower ab.

OK if you are looking for a partner, list a little about yourself and where you are as far as working out....Try to do advanced or intermediate with a beginner, this way the beginners will have someone one on one they can talk to if needed.  you are always welcomed to post questions here too! :)

I am going to take my name off the buddy list because OrangeLoft and I will check in with everyone on the post and may send messages to some of you that disappear!

So I finally measured myself and I hope I did it right... i got 39.5... EEEK!!! but that's going to change i hope :D

I forgot to add that I am new to this. Do I check in with my mins every day, or at the end of the week? When do we measure ourselves again? So many questions, sorry. lol

Hi!

I just got pilates for dummies and I was wondering if that could count towards my  ab minutes? I did it last night and my abs HURT today.

Also, Are the buddies for encouragement or questions or both? or what? :-)

Thanks so much,

Amy
