Ugh. The bad choices continued. Lots if pizza. I'm on track calorie-wise today. No pizza!! Embarrassed of this set back. Hopefully some is sodium:water weight from eating out.

Lift and lower your legs, using your abs, about 2" off the ground. Up 2.5 lbs today! Had chips and salsa (a few too many chips and too much salt, I guess). AF is around the corner too.

I don't have time to be a "meal freak". But, I am slowly finding recipes that are replacing my usual carb snacks. Also, I have heard that the transverse ab is the one that acts as a "belt" to keep you cinched in, so try searching for info on that. I think it was in Parents a few months ago. Let me know if this works! lol...

thanks all for the tips. Keonli-I wish it was just saggy skin. it's still fat. I've been doing bicycle crunches and reverse crunches. oh and pilates daily. love pilates! I'll add in the other one (I usually call em leg lifts) too

off to check out those links!

Don't even worry about the gain. I bet it's mostly water weight. when I eat too much fast food, I swear the scale goes up 2-3 pounds the next day. it's super frustrating but if I eat well and exercise for a few days after I go back down

Thanks! I really hope so. My clothes are getting tight when I was almost ready to go down a size. Darn stress eating!! I've got to get that under control again. Today will be a success!! I have just over 200 cal left and I am still full from dinner. I find once I'm off junk food for 1-3 days I don't crave it anymore. Day 1 down!
