    Thanks all, I generally try to do core-specific exercises but will maybe attempt to work even harder at them, and do more reps! I'm not really worried about the number on the scale as much as I am how I look and feel in my body, and with my body type/proportions I can still lose a few more pounds and be fine, I have no desire to be too skinny! I am perfectly happy with the fact that I will never have a 24" waist, but am assuming even with whatever body type I am I should still be able to get it down a couple inches

    Firefox.. I have no idea what you mean about deep abdominal muscle exercises, I'm assuming I have as I've been focusing on core-exercises and assume those would be included. Yes, my bowel movements are regular :)

    Remember, working muscles makes them bigger, and there is no way to target fat loss in one area over another. Lots of core work may be counterproductive to getting a smaller waist.

    I've heard this too. I'm a little coflicted between wanting a smaller waist and wanting abs you can break your hand on... but not that conflicted...I feel better with nice firm abs even if the measurement is a bit bigger.
