Just wanted to share this lady with you... She didn't do Atkins (weight watchers instead), however, if you look at what she eats she is a natural food type of girl and avoids most breads/ect on a normal bases... she eats plenty of veggies and fruits. You can see she really lost the stomach and click through her photo gallery to see, you can tell at some points it kinda hanged and now it is almost gone...

I have chatted with her and for her to loose it she had to keep loosing weight... It was like the fat under the skin didn't go until everything else went and then it started to go... so like her last 20 pounds lost made the difference in a flab to fab look...

Thanks for that link, it really does encourage me. She was the exact shape I am now, heavy on the top, not much else going on at the bottom, except my legs are even smaller.

I'm going to have a proper read later on.

Thanks again.

Hi there Ammie I have lost a total of 103lbs but never did i do any measurements but i was a slave to the scales every morning its nearly a year and im still obsessed before breakfast i hop on the scales.I have seen alot of difference in body shape as my hand and fingers are so much smaller bangles are looser rings fit smaller sizes,face has very much slimmed down no double chin at all so slim,i had broud shoulders i look perfectly normal,tummy still has fat there but i used to look pregnant thats how big it was nicely hidden now,legs much slimmer,had alot of fat on my upper back in proportion now.What im saying is that i have noticed where the lbs have gone from and i can see i have slimmed down from all my body.

Hiya,

To be honest I was very lazy in regards to starting exercising. It was always "I'll start tomorrow".

I've only now just started following the advice I was kindly given and do weights and callanetics. As I've not been doing it long I haven't yet noticed an improvement as it's too soon. I know the exercises are working because I can feel it for days afterwards.

Presently I'm concentrating on callanetic and weight exercises for the stomach and arms. I'm following the DVD I mentioned in my earlier post and my sis aka 'gym freak', guides me with my weights.

What sort of exercises are you doing with the weights?

I also found the links provided in this thread very helpful but do believe it's an individual thing. I'm trying to find a routine that works for me.

I think it's great that you've lost 20lbs already and it shows you must be doing something right. It was pointed out to me that sometimes the fat around your stomach can be the last to go.

I wish I could provide better feedback in regards to the results from my exercises but wish you all the best.

----EDIT---

Sorry I got my threads mixed up. This is the link for a thread about the callanetic exercises I do. I know you're not obese but it works for everyone.
