Before and After


So I'm not generally keen on posing in a bikini but I did it in part for motivation and in part to see the true results. Since my tummy has always been a problem area for me. 14.6 lbs. Wowza!




And can I just say this diet is HARD. Emotionally more so than any other diet I've ever done. Then again, I always broke down and cheated or just quit on all my other diets so I filled that emotional void with food. Not this time. Nope. It kicked my emotional butt....but it works.








I am thinking I will do the three weeks of maintenance and then maybe try to kick the last 5 or 10 on another round. I know I won't be able to do it "on my own" without the CRAZY strict structure that this plan makes you follow. But I'll let you know in 3 weeks when my maintenance is up just how I feel.

Do you have to do the drops for a full 21 days, or can you do it just for 2 weeks or something?
BTW, I'm gonna change the time on my post so you don't get your bikini pic's splashed on my other blog. :)

Haha thanks! You have to do the drops for the full 23 days. Especially it it's your first time or you will just gain the weight right back. Mind you, the first three days of drops you are "Loading". It's a total of 26 days really because you have to keep eating 500 cal for 3 days afterwards...which I did not do and I gained. boo.

You look great. It's nice to see the results to clearly. A picture of myself in a bikini is my greatest motivation to workout. I keep it under my pillow :-)
