Hi! This is MormonMuscle's wife and I had a question for anyone who might be able to help. I am doing a 12 wk challenge at my local gym, when I first started my husband asked for some help for me to lose weight. Someone had mentioned the ketosis diet and I have been doing that and have lost 15lbs. Thank you so much!! My question is: For the end of the challenge they are doing after pics and I want to look my best. Problem is I still have bout 24% BF. I hold my weight all over and I do look better but after having three kids I have stretch marks on my stomach. They have faded, but is there anyway to hide them a little more? Is there anything else I can do this last wk to look as good as possible? I know I'm probably hoping for the impossible but I figured if anyone might know, you guys might? Thanks again for all the advice!

think about tanning, cocoa butter lotions etc to try and help with stretch marks etc..
make sure you are drinking plenty of water and getting enough sodium.

I have been tanning and do use a cocoa butter lotion. I also drink about a gallon of water a day. I have been weight training 45-60min, 5 times a wk and walking with an incline to keep my heart rate at 65% to try and help with weight loss. I'd much rather run, but the hubby told me I would get better results keeping the heart rate lower. Have you heard of "Mederma" working for stretch marks? I'm to the point where I'm willing to do anything to look better. Whether it be diet or exercise, I'm desperate to look as good as I did b4 kids!
As for looking your absolute best, what about sodium/carb/water loading the beginning of the week, and decreasing sodium & water starting Wednesday? It's a precontest water trick to get all of the water off your body.

K, my wife got her measurements for end of the 12 week challenge, and she has lost 15 lbs. She lost 7.5 inches off her waist and 4.5 off her hips. She looks good, and we both wanted to send out our appreciation for helping her with her diet and stuff.
Thanks especially to Bouncer for your help. Wish her luck on the competition. We find out the winners on the 30th this month.
