No silly join up fee, just send a pic and interact with others via twitter. The best thing about this challenge, was the opportunity to interact with like minded people in a quick an easy fashion, this enabled me to learn a lot of fitness and nutrition information and use this to compete with others All in all, a very good experience Thanks @ChrisProSkills For me, the idea of the online fitness challenge was something that was very interesting to me.

Great twitter community, friendly banter and motivation for one another. Everyone is willing to share and help each other along. It's not just a challenge - it's a new approach and lifestyle for me now. No abs this time round so I will definitely be doing the next challenge....whenever that may be! Thanks AbChallenge team - Chris and Dan! Thanks Abchallenge twitfam!

I was doing well until I got struck down with a sick bug in week 3 which has left me with some tum issues/swelling! Luckily, despite the swelling when I flexed my new found abs for a picture and you could still a difference (just) so I submitted my pic anyway! I've also met lots of new tweeps who are fab and we all motivate each other and talk gym, food, make up, pants ;-) Can't wait for the next ab challenge!

I lost 2" around my waist and I generally feel better about about myself. I will continue to diet and watch what I eat. I hope @abchallenge keep the motivational tweets flowing.

I'm a fitness freak by day with a competitive streak that rarely gets let out anymore. I wanted to do well, I wanted results and through continued support, motivation and advice I succeeded! More of them more often! Thanks for a good January :) Absolutely loved this. I’m a fitness freak by day with a competitive streak that rarely gets let out anymore.

Great advice and tips and always there to help if I had any queries! Proved to me that I can achieve anything I want now, and having a goal to produce an after pic was monumental in making me want to continue this! Put me in great shape for the future now!

I had the best fitness start to a year for a long time and a lot was down to having the ab challenge to work for.The thought of putting up some decent photos is a motivation. I lost 7lb in weight during the challenge which was pleasing. Thanks for organising it. With the ab challenge,you have a goal,something to focus on.

It wasn't at all torturous to get through it and knowing that you have a lot of other people going through it at the same time certainly helps and encourages you past those tougher moments of choice. I saw the most change in the first 2 to 3 weeks but more than anything, have just felt comfortable for the last month. I lost 1" off my waist and three quarters of a stone so I'm pretty happy with that. A great idea presented really well. Will definitely get involved again.

Ab challenge got me in the gym, eating healthily and set me a nice routine which I am so used to, it doesn't feel like work to carry on another few months! Only problem is I need to buy a smaller belt to hold up my trousers!! Just what I needed – a big kick up the backside after the Christmas chocolate woes.
