I am hoping that as time goes by, the skin will tighten up. Be aware that thinness and being underweight does not necessarily mean that you are sporting some additional body fat (my problem even wehn I have been "thin"). My best advice is keep toning the mid section and increase your exercise/activity. Eat healthy portions and avoid junk food. It my take time and effort but it will come.

glov77 Posts: 1 Joined: 2007/07/25	2007/07/25, 01:47 AM Can you say "back fat"? I guess love handles is the more frequently used term, that is my only real trouble area, I can't find any one specific set of exercises that deals primarily with it. Any ideas?:angry:

Also try some regular crunches, try lying on your back with your legs folded to one side and do crunches towards the middle (switch legs to each side) to work sides. Also try reverse crunches (start sitting up and start to go down like you would lay down and half way down, sit back up while holding your arms out in front of you. Hope this helps. ============= -------------- Bradley Voorhees URLs: youtube.com/bradleyvoorheesjams myspace.com/bradley__voorhees twitter.com/bradvoorhees Email: myspace.com/bradley__voorhees

I never knew before i seen ur post in which order I'd lose weight ============ Quoting from vdawgus: you cant just "lose" your love handles, or what you call "spot training"... it is a bunch of things. A regular good diet will help, want a example, Dr. Phil's im using it and I cut my handles down. Crunches as well will help BUT..you have to understand how your progresses. Bodies will loose weight in this manner. First in your face, then your outter limbs, then LAST, which kinda sucks i know, is your mid-section...and its the hardest to work, so stick with diet crunches and cardio...after about 2-3 months you will be happy with the changes ============= -------------- Bradley Voorhees URLs: youtube.com/bradleyvoorheesjams myspace.com/bradley__voorhees twitter.com/bradvoorhees Email: myspace.com/bradley__voorhees

It's still fairly simple though, if you take in more energy from your food than you burn during the day, you will put on weight. If you burn more energy than you take on through food, you will lose energy. The key really is to do this in a sensible way by increasing your energy output (through exercise) rather than just cutting your energy input (through eating less food).

Also, love handles can go away by laying on yourside and lifting your leg as far as you can go 100 times each side. It works your obliques too!
