Missed my BBBC Results Part 1?
Taking Before and After pictures is scary enough without having to post them on the internet for all to see!
I hope you guys appreciate this because I was NOT going to do it!!! :D
It takes a lot of guts to see pictures of oneself on the internet…LOL.
So did it WORK? Click continue reading below.
65 Days of the BBBC Challenge did this for me…
[Please ignore the fake tan in the first pic- I was prepping for my photoshoot at that time! lol]
What I noticed:
- Smaller and more toned stomach area: Proof that CORE WORK rocks!
- Toned arms and shoulders (Even though I didn’t see a decrease in arm circumference, I know the arms are much more toned- and that is what matters!)
Let’s ZOOM IN shall we?
And the behind pictures…
What I noticed:
- Toning of the back: In the before picture you can see a bit of extra skin in the crease area, but in the after picture it is gone.
- Back of my legs and butt area have firmed up
- Bikini top also seems to fit better (the strap doesn’t dig in as much).
I am REALLY happy with these results– especially in my stomach area. Core work is the BEST!
I am so glad I took these pictures because I honestly had no idea that my body had changed so much. I am still quite amazed that just a couple strength exercises each day can make such a difference.
I also think that adding the Shred over the last couple of weeks has helped too! I am going to continue to do the 30-Day Shred because I really enjoy it! I will probably try to squeeze it in twice a week or so.
Also- BBBC participants: Don’t forget to send me your final results! :) [email protected]
Look what the awesome ladies of Hip-T sent me!
A beautiful Black Lace Hip-T!
I just love it!
Many of my shirts are too short (I have a long waist) and I find the My Hip T provides just the right amount of length.
It is SUPER slimming in the waist area too! I find it kind of sucks everything in.

Ok off to write my exam! Hopefully cramming works- I sure did it enough in university! lol.
Tonight I will be answering your most burning question:
Will I be doing a summer installment of the BBBC?
You look FABULOUS! thank you for sharing the pictures. I am officially inspired to get back into my strength training and core work
Impressive my friend!
Yet another reason to keep up the workouts :) [I thought it was cute they used the term ‘glow’]

Wow I love this thanks for sharing! ~A
Thanks for the opportunity. I really like the Zebra Print one.
you look great in both pictures…so jealous! I’m loving the Hip-T’s I want to buy one but would be cool to win!
I was always wondering how you were so tan! I live in Florida and I’m much whiter than you lol.
Congrats on your fantastic results! ^0^ You worked really hard, and it really shows!!
You lucky duck! I had my eye on one of those black lace ones. Or the white lace one. Ahhh I just love lace things, and things with lace that cover my crack = Major win in my book. XD
Ooooh la la.. sign me up! :)
AHH! They are SO CUTE. I need one stat, I think! And you’ve definitely inspired me to crank up some core work this summer- you worked hard for that amazing stomach, congrats!
I love the idea of the Hip T’s! I’ve never heard of them before, but I often layer a tank top under my shorter shirts.
You look great! I cand definitely see a difference–but you look great in both sets of pictures-before and after! YOU GO (GLO!) GIRL! :-)
Btw, you look great, of course!
majah props Angela, not only on the results, but posting the pics too. You look (and looked) amazing.
P.s. made a test batch of the mini doughnuts this weekend and my family was blown away. Thanks for the great recipe.
now off to figure out which colour Hip T I’m going to get.
A) You look AMAZING!!!
B) I totally need the white hip-t!! Will be linking later!! Don’t forget to enter MY contest! It’s the last day! (Ange, would you mind linking??)
Congratulations on all your hard work paid off. You look great!
Ever since you introduced me to the Hip-T design I’ve been wanting to find one. I would love to get the chance to try one out for free.
Wow! Your core looks awesome (before and after! :D )
I think the Hip-T is an awesome idea – I think I’ll have to get one whether or not I win – I have a long torso too, and my shirts are always too short!
You can definitely see a difference. Hard work does pay off.
I really like the white hip-t, I could wear it with so many things!
You look ferosh Angela!!! Your BBBC has definitely helped me incorporate some moves into my workouts.. I may be bikini ready next year.. this year would be pushing it LOL
Thanks so much for sharing your photos!
never heard of the hip-t before…sounds super for us long waisted gals! I’m always finding myself searching high and low for t- shirts that are long enough not to show belly haha.
P.s. you look great, both before and after pics, you look awesome!
You look amazing – congrats! :) That hip-tee sounds awesome, I have a proportionately longer torso too so I find shirts can be too short.
I love the Madrid one! Fun idea – I never would have thought to create something like that!
You look amazing Angela! Good work :) I wanna try the shred soon. I like the looks of the Sassy Prints – Dot 2 Dot hip-ts, but i would probably go for white or black to go with many things.
Wow! Great job :-) I totally need to get my rear in gear! That shirt looks awesome! I LOVE long shirts, but I actually have a short waist… I guess it works for anyone :-)
Congratulations on the results!! You look fantastic as always. The HipT is such a neat concept. I`m crossing my fingers!
Amazing results, good on you!
I’m in love with anything that promises to “hug things in”!
Congrats on the great results!
Hip T is such a great idea.
Congrats on the BBBC results! its so inspiring to see pics and know that it works. it gives us all hope. I love the hip-t’s and hope to get to try one soon. Darn those low wasted jeans.
BTW: you got a GF Gidget shout out!
I want a hip t! I don’t want to share my crack (ha!).
I also felt like my arms made a huge difference but my measurement is still 11′ too.. But I feel like they’ve changed so much!
lots of hard work, but you look great! and so do those Hip-T’s!
Wow! Check out those abs! You look great Angela. Congrats on the amazing work.
Ohhh the Hip T is very cool! And it looks like all your core most definitely paid off!
Wow, the differences in your before and after for the BBBC are amazing!!!!
The Hip T’s are really cute, I too have a long torso and find that some of my tops just seem to short.
I’ve made a shout out on my blog about your giveaway!!
Lookin’ good! I must admit that I was skeptical about how much progress could be made with only a few exercises a day… but now I regret not joining in with this challenge!!! I think it would be great to leave all of the exercises that you did posted somewhere on your website so that those of us who did not participate could still do it if we wanted to!
I love the dot 2 dot hip-t! Thank you for the opportunity!
OMG you look great! I want your abs!
Your website has helped me more than you could ever imagine! You are a great role model and I love reading your blog each day [more like several times a day!] :)
You have inspired me to get moving, I’ve gotta be in a bikini in about 3 weeks. Love the Hip Tee!
I like the “original” Hip T but the “Basics” are good too.
Great giveaway!!
Those Hip Tees are adorable! I like all of the lacey ones – so cute. they are definitely slimming as well.
Very awesome! and I love the giveaway!
Wow, impressive results, congrats! But you looked awesome before :) Good luck on your exam Angela! I would love to win a Hip-T.
You look wonderful!
I would love to win a HIP-T b/c the muffin top area is my biggest problem. Even when I don’t have one, I am constantly worried that the waist band of my pants is sticking out and making it look like I have one. I am also super obsessed with my shirts being just the right length.
You look so toned – Great pictures! Those Hip-T’s look like such fun!
You don’t have to enter me in the contest.. just wanted to say you look great! :)
I love the idea of the Hip-T!Awesome job with the core workout! You look awesome!
Yowza! You are brave to post pics in a bikini on the internets, but you look fab!
How often do you think you can do core work? Same rules apply as regular crunches — don’t work them two days in a row?
Okay, I’m off to post a link to this contest on my resurrected blog!
These have got to be the coolest things ever! I really like the lace in the original ones although some do have some pretty funky patterns!
What a cool idea. So many of my shirts are too short. I love the lace too.
Wow you look even more awesome-er! (I love to make up new words!)
To lose that much off an already small waist is amazing.
