My grandma came over for her medicine when I had about 2 min left in the workout and then I had the 2 min cool down to do also. She is so funny! She came and stood in front of me where I couldn't see the TV and started talking to me. After the workout I laid face down

Bored with workout...... T25 Here I Come!

I've been really discouraged lately because I haven't seen a significant difference in my weight or how my clothes fit. As I mentioned in my post here I'm a member of the Facebook group no excuse moms. One of the moms in this group posted her before picture at 160 lbs in January and she is down to 140 lbs now!
