Ever since I was about 12 I've had two fat rolls on my back, one on each side. I've been shrinking my stomach area really well (it's my biggest problem area) but I have no idea how to get rid of back fat. Any good exercises for this?

    I'm not sure about the back fat, but I'd love to know what your doing for to loose the weight in the stomach area!

    I've been doing Pilates, and a step board while watching t.v. I also play Wii Fit with my kids a lot:) I've been making sure I get at least 8 cups of water every day, eat 5 fruits/veggies per day, and exercise every day for at least 320 minutes. (edited-I mean 30 minutes per day!) I'm loving my new energy levels!

    Well BJ, the best thing is to keep doing what you're doing.

    Haha, I meant 30 minutes per day, not 320 per day!

    Kickboxing/boxing. I've been doing Turbo Jam for over 4 years and the first thing that happened was it put me into a 32-34 bra size from a 36.

    *** For those who say you cannot target a spot, we all know that's true but some exercises help certain areas. When I started TJ in Feb 2007 I wanted to lose 3-6 lbs and I did so you can't say it was overall loss of weight that caused the slimmer back.

    Actually all you did was increase your activity and your body released the fat all over. Fat loss is systematic, unless removed by surgery.
