My ab journey (with pictures)

[dawn16]

@sinbad2014 Congrats! How long did it take to notice changes?
Usually when I don’t see quick changes, I get frustrated and quit :,(

 

[sinbad2014]

@dawn16 Only last month! I know, especially with abs it takes FOREVER to achieve results. Just work hard and be diligent and they'll reveal themselves

 

[dawn16]

@sinbad2014 Thanks!! I’ll try again with your tips

@sinbad2014 you look great! i used to do abs EVERYDAY in the summer during commercial breaks for one or two shows. ended up taking me a month to get six pack. i just wanna say its all about consistency, but the exercises she listed are great!

 

[sinbad2014]

@brendanmg It totally is all about consistency! I'm trying really hard to get a pack right now lol haha

@sinbad2014 You look amazing! I wanted to know how many inches you lost around your waist. I am quite straight up in down like you were in your before picture but struggling to reduce thickness on the waist! I’m an currently 26 inches but would like to slim down to 24 inches.

@spreadinglove Unfortunately I didn't measure myself my indicator is when I wear high-waisted shorts and they don't fit me around the waist anymore haha!

@sinbad2014 What are you calories? And what do you typically eat in a day?

 

[sinbad2014]

@shelbylynn92 I eat around 1200-1500 cals a day! Wrote what I typically eat in a day to another comment you can find here!

@sinbad2014 Amazing progress!! Fellow shortie who carries extra weight in her lower belly - do you do any other body exercises every day outside of cardio then abs?

 

[sinbad2014]

@namlien Yup I follow an IG fitness influencer's workout plan. Send me a PM with your email and I'll send it to you!

@sinbad2014 Hello, I'd love to look at the plan as well, if it's alright! Fellow 5'0" girl

@sinbad2014 Amazing progress!

Do you have any tips for intermittent fasting? I usually eat breakfast around 11am most days but I have a really hard time not snacking at night. I usually watch tv from like 8pm-10pm and also need to munch on something (especially something sweet). Any tricks?

 

[sinbad2014]

@userischris I watch tv at home as well but don't have much of an urge to snack after 7-8 pm. I honestly just drink water or tea until I don't feel hungry haha but if you find that you can't fast properly, maybe try changing the hours to 1-9 pm?

@sinbad2014 That video is so interesting! Love how they talk about data driven progress.

Great work overall!

 

[mike978675]

@sinbad2014 Great progress. What are your tips for strengthening and building abs but not the obliques since that widens the waist?

 

[sinbad2014]

@mike978675 Truthfully I don't really do anything that targets my waist (aka making it smaller). I should look into that!

@sinbad2014 I'm on the total opposite end of the spectrum where I'm 5'11 and when I gain weight it distributes pretty evenly so it's pretty hard for me to lose it. I think I might consider fasting too! Do you drink coffee or anything in the morning? I've heard a lot of people drink coffee to help with curbing their appetite

 

[sinbad2014]

@erth For my whole life I've eaten breakfast, so it was difficult transitioning to a restrictive eating period. I start work at 7 am so waiting until 11 was tough, but I got used to it after a while. I tried 12 pm but that was too late for me.

Black coffee has helped me the most water and tea are okay as well.
