WOW 52!
All credit goes to slappy for encouraging so many!!!!! Thanks Slappy!

alright.. i measured and i've got a 51" waist :(  did 4 minutes of crunches and that's all i could do (haven't done a crunch for years and years).. will do another 4 minutes tonight and work my way up to 2 sessions of 5 minutes every day.. :)  

Obsidyan you dont have to do just crunches you can do stretches for the obliques which effects the abs as well. Crunches are soooo hard and hurt like hell, especially for those of us who are just starting out. Stretching is just as important. There are leg lifts as well. I suggest you add to your routine and build all the muscles that are attached to the abs. It will make everything much easier.

I CANT DO 4 MINUTES OF CRUNCHES!!!!!! Thats a LOT!

Here are some links to good strectches and exercises

i stretched before i did the crunches.. but i did 4 minutes of just crunches.. and i stretched after too.. :)  i used to be able to do 10 minutes at a time no problem.. but that was years and years ago.. and i've been working out and doing *some* abs since i started working out, just not crunches.. so it's not like i'm starting from scratch.. my personal goal is to do 2 5 minute sessions of just crunches a day (not including the stretching).. :)  i want beautiful abs when the fat is all gone.. :)  

hello,good morning,

i would love to join,if it is not too late?

WOOO HOO!! pump and ready to get those abs looking GREAT!! I wasnt going to measure myself until the end of the month. But if you want to do it ever saturday I will do it. It's probably good to see the progress anyways.... I'm still at 33" Hopefully I can lose 3" or more this month. We shall see!!! Alright everyone, off to do my ab work out!!! =)

I'd like to get in on this! I'm 44inches...ug. Going to the gym today anyways - will work extra hard an the abs!!

gega

thanks again!

Yay!

And happy april's fool!
Oh, lord.. x_X my back hurts from dancing last night... I wonder if that might affect my work out today.. I should go out for a run now, though... have too much energy that needs some burning.

Oh!  Count me in!  You know what they say, better late than never (who are they, anyway?)!

32 inches at my belly button!

Can you count me in on this? I read this, but i didn't enter.

April 1, 06, I did 20 mins of situps and stretches. Mostly situps, 15 mins.

I added my measurement to the list.  Copy and paste this to add yours if it's not there already.  I also added xxabyss.

WOOO HOOO!! thanks SLAPPY!!

Ok so I went to the mall today and I saw these nice yoga pants. (not that I do yoga) they were just nice and I wanted to try them on. I grabbed a medium and it was big around the waist!!! I was like what?! and I havn't been clothes shopping in forever. So I was like "excuse me miss can I have a small" it felt SOOOOOOO GOOD!!! I tried them on, looked at myself and the mirror, and my butt looked nice for a change!! I don't have a long mirror in my house so I was like man, I actually did lose a lot of weight... I was soo happy... I didn't end up getting the pants tho. They were navy blue and I would like black better... I dunno... Well I just had to share my story! Im so use to asking for bigger sizes... but this time I didn't have tooo!! woo hoo!!

hey can i join?? sounds like fun, i need a little challenge in my life, lol

I did the measure thing I am 48 inches.  I bought new pants today because I just don't have any that fit.  I cried in the fitting room for 30 seconds, now I need to use this challenge to buy a smaller size at the end of April!

Oops - somewhere along the line my measurements disappeared so here's the list again.
