This is AWESOME! My baby tummy is my biggest issue. HOw'd you do it?
Is this the 100 squat challenge in IG?

I just did the HCG diet. I'm starting to exercise now to tone up.

This was purely from diet change alone and practically no exercise (besides walking). I am 5'11" so my goal as of December 2012 was to start an exercise regime in order to lose another 25lbs to be at an appropriate weight for my height, and to tone up. Well, I recently found out I am pregnant so the hardcore exercise/toning will be put on hold until after baby, but I still plan to continue eating Paleo and light exercise. Here is a before/after pic:

AWESOME!

You had fantastic results! My sister has dabbled in that diet before too. It kinda weirds me out though! Didn't you think it was strange that you were tricking your body into thinking it was pregnant? and won't the weight just come back after you stop taking the drops? I hope I don't sound mean - I'm curious!!

These pics are ALL so amazing!! I have some somewhere, I might go find them I still have goals I want to hit, but I'm encouraged when I look back at some of my old photos, how far I've come! I hope it stays...

I haven't been on the diet since September or October and haven't gained anything back. And it doesn't make your body think it's pregnant, so that doesn't weird me out. I will be doing it again to get to the 160s, but I wanted to get a group of people together to do it first.

oops! I guess I got that from something my sister said. HCG is the pregnancy hormone, right? oh well. That's awesome that you haven't gained any back! Way to GO!!

Yes, it's the pregnancy hormone. I still menstruate during the diet if I don't time it right.
