When i first decided to start this WOE i would come to this thread and lurk around reading others journeys, but the threads that had left an inpretion on me where the before & after pics of people who had just started, or where in the middle, or totally reached their target. Till this date, I still get inspired seeing before and after pics, hopefully i'll be a success story and my after pics could be an inspiration to someone else.
I only have a few stretch marks on the sides of my tummy, caused by pregnancy. The funny thing though is that while i was pregaant i had no marks they came out right after giving birth. My tummy though has never taken back its normal shape, sometimes i think its because I had an emergency CSection, its though to get all your tummy muscles back into shape. Oh well maybe situps will do the trick and it will finally shrink back into shape....we'll just have to wait and see
I can do this, i know i can!!

I should scare you and show my my "before" pics. They make me shiver. I have only been in a challenge for 2 weeks so far and I already tell a difference! I have one month left in this six week challenge and I am going to be taking pics then! I took some pics one week in and I could already tell a difference. If you feel discouraged, be sure and come here and read and read! You can even send me a private message if you are down. I usually have this running in the background while I am studying.

How are you gals doing, I have been away since Feb 1st, we planned to go for a weekend Carnival break up in Gozo and since the kids had some days off school we decided to extend it for a whole week.....it was great we where six in all and we had a really great time plus the farmhouse was really nice & cosy.
Anyway,
overall i have been really good, my water intake still sucks though, i was hardly in time to get to the water challenge which i missed signing up by a day, but luckily i was accepted maybe this will motivate me like other challenges do.
i have to drink 89 ounces....WOW....i promised to do my best.
i need to fill in more threads so i'll catch up later...
Take care xx
