Your Elite Opinion

This is really no biggy of a question

I was reading an "Oxygen" magazine last night. Anyway, it kind of seems like one big advertisement for Hydroxycut with stories and stuff.

What do you think of those stories. Hmmm, Brandy Flores and there was another girl. They look really awesome now, but haven't they always? The story made it seem like they were really out of shape???

Just wondered

Just my two cents : In that ad, of course they are wanting to sell you something.....those before and after shots crack me up. In the first shot--- everyone is ghostly white and standing with bad posture. Next one--they are all tan and sucking in those guts.But on the flip side-- I have been using hydroxy cut---and love it. Works for some and not others....but does supress(sp?) my appet. and makes me sweat all day long !!! Its doing something for me........

yea, i was kinda' wonderin' the same thing...if it could make you lose THAT much weight in that period of time. i've talked to a lot of people that liked it and said it worked for them...but...do you think it took a lot longer for brandy to get back in that kinda' shape???

those girls do a lot more than pop a few muscletech products... that's my 2 cents on the topic... some supplement to a different degree, some don't, ALL of 'em work their asses off... but yeah, they're getting paid to sell the product, and they don't write the cheezy info-ads...

i belive it was brandy who blew her knee out about a year ago though... she did put on some weight... but when your body is accustomed to activity and being fit, it can become A LOT easier to take it back off...

Brandy Hale-Flores is really pretty. The add said she lost over 30 pounds gained from knee surgeries.

Before pictures are funny. How come they never let you SMILE

haha i laugh when i read those... but i can attest to the muscle coming back fairly quickly... mine did.

i have a question... when you guys pose for progress pics to post here... do you tense your abs or do they always look like that?

i'm going to post a two month old pic here.. then take it down. but i just wanted to know about my abs back then... someone told me they thought i looked like i had the start of a six pack (never thought that when i saw it, but hey)... just wanted your opinions.

 

[Phemomena]

personally, my abs are generally like that (lately at least, hasn't always been that way)... (when taking a pic i try to use good posture which helps...)...i find that they show different definition when my arms are up... i can see obliques and such more...

as for your pic... this laptop SUCK so i cant' see too well, but you look like you've got a very flat tummy (which most gals would kill for...) that's definatley a good thing...

 

[ann]

I see some lines started there on your tummy...... You dont look like you should have any trouble getting your abbs to poke thru......You have good genetics in that department And my gosh.....you look just like UMA !!!WOW!!!!!

 

[smallmovesal]

just wondered.. that pic is two months old... and i think my abs are a little better now.. i have a REALLY flat tummy. very happy for that.

 

[BrickGirl]

Very nice

 

[smallmovesal]

nice spatterson!

 

[smallmovesal]

nah i can see 'em in the bad lighting too

 

[KBgrl]

smalls... ur sooo cute lol.. u do look like UMA!! beautiful!! well ur abs look flat, thats for sure... but i think u could get a better ab shot if u stood up ya know.. with ur legs crossed u cant see all ur abs . and yea... tense them up like spats pics...looks nice!!
spatts-- good job girl!!

 

[smallmovesal]

this one is about a month and a half ago... maybe it's better


i hope this is the right one...

 

[ladyhawk25]

nice abs small...... how long does it take to get your abs looking decent ? and how long does it take to get your lower half to get flat after having kids ???? see before i had my kids everyone said i have a wash board tummy . heheheh i would die to have them back .....

 

[ann]

Lady--miss small has no kiddies yet. And small---thought at first that you were the one laying on the car, and I was going to say, wrong pic but nice crotch shot. Then I saw you standing to the side Your abbs are coming a long great----- keep up the crunches

 

[ladyhawk25]

i know im the one with the kids and i was just wondering if anyone knows how long it take for your lower half to get flat again ?

 

[ann]

Well in that case Lady-- I have had three, and mine are pretty flat----i thank my lucky genes everyday on that one. Took me about 8 months after my 3rd, to see the abbs poking thru--- and that was due to cleaning up my diet and aerobics.......lots and lots of crunches and sweating. Abbs should be worked like any other body part--- and should get equal time......as say your chest or arms. Of course, like so many people, I fit them in here and there....I am always pushed for time---might have something to do with the 3 kids waiting for me to get done

 

[smallmovesal]

hey my abs may be flat but don't make me turn around and show you how far i have to go on my ass!!

 

[KBgrl]
