(envy, envy!)<br /><br />I've started working on planks which has helped tone my arms slowly (I feel like I have flabby arms, too).Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18117040616872159425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-658206496670195812010-10-14T14:07:43.029-04:002010-10-14T14:07:43.029-04:00I am SO impressed that you have lost that kind of ...I am SO impressed that you have lost that kind of weight. Cannot even imagine--I am always struggling with my stubborn 5!

Having a few years on you I can say that I wonder if skin every catches up with the muscles underneath. When I do my yoga and lift I feel "tighter" but the quaility of my skin is not what it was when I was 25. I remind myself that this body has seen me through a lot and life has been a give and take...a bit more on the take. But I (most days) can let that little bit of wiggle go as long as I am working on staying fit. <br />You look great! We are always hardest on ourselves.Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-90562470948458437422010-10-14T11:21:52.787-04:002010-10-14T11:21:52.787-04:00Oh, Jen, this made me laugh out loud.

I used to be pretty toned, but since running entered the picture, the little dab of weight training I used to do has gotten pushed to the back burner. I have my mother's arms now.<br /><br />As for nonsurgical options, my sister-in-law would tell you to pierce it and tan it. LOL She's a trip. She has the stereotypical mom-of-three belly, and she says stretchmarks and flab are more attractive if they're tan and decorated.<br /><br />But, girl, I think you look great!!!Pam @ herbieontherun.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198123992152626641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-52032502376914457682010-10-14T10:29:15.221-04:002010-10-14T10:29:15.221-04:00I would kill for a stomach like that!

Real life isn't photo shopped, and you honestly look fantastic!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-43496983719320125212010-10-14T09:01:08.851-04:002010-10-14T09:01:08.851-04:00Jen, you look great. You're in amazing shape,...Jen, you look great. You're in amazing shape, your body is transformed, you are a gorgeous, fit, toned, healthy woman! I relate to how you're feeling, and I think it is about accepting yourself. I say this to myself too because every day I could show you every single part of my body that I dislike, where I think I have fat rolls, and really it's all in my head. We as women are so critical of ourselves. Even in the height of Ironman training and marathon training, I can pick my body apart-and that is when I am in the best possible shape I can be in. That's why I know it is in my head. And it's in your head too. We need to love ourselves and celebrate being healthy and accept the fact that we DO look good!Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13716646898691792398noreply@blogger.com
