    You can't lose weight in targeted areas.

    You can't target weight loss, but you can tone up problem areas with specific exercises. I do abdominal crunches for my tum :)

    Totally, but it's hard to see your hard work when you still have the fat "pooch" on top of it, ya know? The only thing that will get rid of fat (all over your body, not one targeted spot) is reduced calorie diet and cardio. :)

    You can definitely tone, but if there's a layer of fat over that muscle, what you can do is up your cardio, lower your sodium, and watch your calorie intake. I have yet to bust the pooch myself, but I've been doing planks, hip dips, crunches and this one where I lay flat, hold a big exercise ball between my ankles and then lift my legs up and down for toning. Woooo that one's a beast! Good luck girl :)

    Word/Amen :)

    Vacuums, baby! Imagine a belt of muscle tightening and strengthening around your midsection.

    You can tighten up (sometimes by several inches) without losing an ounce of weight. I know this from experience. Plus there are the added benefits of a stronger back and more of a V shape on the upper body.

    And no equipment needed.

    I got rid of mine!

    Cardio cardio cardio got rid of the fat as well as a good diet. Once the fat was gone I toned up by doing lots of reverse crunches, crunches, bicycle crunches and planks. Then I did Jillian Michaels 6 week 6 pack.

    Good luck!
