my problem zone is my stomach so I am on a diet which is for pple with my shape. Mainly you get rid of the red meats, fats. Eat lots of fibre- bread (brown one) pasta, etc. Replace meats with tofu and have lots of fruit, veg. The usual. I also think you should do running, or static bike, or jumping rope. (all help tpo get rid of extra fat)(I run in place) If u like you can go to www.self.com they have lots of abs excercises with pics and all. I read its not quantity but quality. Many have told me Pilates worked for them to get a flat belly. ::good luck::

alrighty...hmm..so crunches are like half sit ups right? but then when i do sit ups my feet/legs move and i have to have some weight on it like i put my feet under my bed...cuz its really low like 5 cm above ground or so? does that affect getting abs? and also isnt crunches only for the upper abs? what about the lower abs?
