So, today I completed the 7-day abs challenge, and here are the results. My weight is still hovering around 149.5. Weekend goal is to NOT gain any weight back! Waistline is about 32.5, down an inch. Body fat is about 38.2%, which is down .6%. Now, how much of this is due to weight loss & how much to the challenge, I don't know, but it's an improvement and those are always good! I do feel stronger in the core, though my lower back is still a bit sore. This plan works the obliques harder than anything, but I notice I engage my abs more when walking, and certainly more when running! Still need to work on sitting, though. Anyway, I'd say for me at least, the plan was modestly successful. Here is the link again, if you want to check it out:

I will probably keep doing this plan, though probably not every day. Probably 4-5 times weekly, certainly after running as I'm too sweaty to lay down & do crunches. But I plan to start going back to the gym starting tomorrow & start doing some weight lifting. I really need to get stronger, and it's stupid to spend $10 a month on a gym membership & not go.
