Three words: you.look.fantastic.
You have a body that most celebrities would be proud of and envy…and also the flattest stomach I have ever seen. Be very, very proud of yourself and how you look – you work so hard and it’s truly reflected in your amazing body. Keep taking good care of it!

thank you for having the courage to post these pictures of yourself, April. You are such a positive role model for so many girls, myself included, and serve as the perfect example of how beautiful strong healthy bodies look!

You look awesome! My tummy was not that flat even when I was dieting for a bodybuilding contest!
[Reply]
With the kinds of exercises you’re doing, including the supersets, I have no doubt that your heart rate is steadily at cardio level. Your routine is clearly making a difference, so don’t mess with success (well, until you plateau. Then mess with it a little).

Looking hot and toned girl! Keep it up!

I see no bloat there hun! You look awesome! I am not a big weight-lifter (I’m a die hard long distance runner), but you have inspired me to give it a try!
The thing is, I’m a vegetarian. Do you think I can still get enough protein to build some muscle? I am not vegan and will gladly eat egg whites, yogurt (I love Greek yogurt), cottage cheese, whey protein, low-fat cheeses (VERY sparingly), and I will VERY RARELY have some fish such as salmon or tuna (about once a week). You are just like the “protein queen” though, so I thought you’d have some good advice on this. Do you think protein from seitan, tofu, and tempeh are effective too? I just really don’t want to have to revert to eating meat since it really bothers my stomach… and my ethics.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Emma! I definitely think you could get enough protein to build that muscle! They say to go for 1 gram per pound of body weight. So if you weigh 120 shoot for 120 grams! You could get that in one day if you ate something like this: 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 serving whey protein powder, 1/2 block of tofu, 1 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of oats, and some veggies!

April, please help me make over my bod by spring! I tried your brownie batter today (linked you) and am in love.
Again, I’d love any advice, especially since I’m a carb-loving vegetarian.
