Love rolls!

shoot do 75 haha jk

"spot training" is a myth.
The areas we put on and loose wieght is a predetermined genetic pattern. Really, the only way to loose the handles is by overall weight loss. The handles may not be the first to go, but if you keep at it, they will go (along with all the other areas).
The situps are good for you and will work your core, and, will assist in your weight loss. Don't give up on them and look into mixing them up a bit - like do some crunches one day, then some bicycle's, then some leg lifts, then reverse crunches. Make sure you work your lower back too. So, do all the situps, but roll over and just reach your hands and feet up about 18", hold for a breathe, then gently drop back down. repeat that about 20 times. Look into getting an exercise ball (swiss ball), they are great to work your core.
The best way to loose weight through exercies isn't necessarily just through cardio too. Look into big muscle and multi-joint exercises. Don't neglect those squats and lunges, incorporate them as much as you can. They'll work you're body hard and you'll burn cals. A good mix of everything is beneficial. Mix it up.
So, count your calories with MFP. Go for a mile walk (or a jog or a elipitacl etc) to warm up, then, do 20 burpees, then some situps. Then some pushups. Go for another walk/run but maybe 2 miles. Come back and do some squats or lunges, more pushups, lower back exercises and crunches. Finish off with some Stretch and call it a day. Log the time in MFP and track the cals. Be patient too. It'll happen if you let it. Doing teh physical exercises will not bulk you up either - you have to try to do that - all exercises are good and mixing a blend of exercise and cardio keeps it interesting and if you don't stop for a breather between everything, will be over and done with in 30 mins and you'll have dome a great workout. You don't have to do high numbers of situps either. It's probably better to do 10 squats, 15 situps, then 10 push ups, then 20 jumping jacks, then 15 situps, then 10 push ups with no break in between, just change exercises, than it is to grind out 75 situps in one go. Just MO.

I found that when I started eating better and getting in some cardio, my stomach shrank! Hit the pavement, sister! :drinker:

I have the same problem losing my love handles. The thing is, though, I don't really need to lose weight. I mean, I'd personally like to lose a couple of pounds but I'm on the low end of "healthy" as far as BMI goes. So what do you do if you're not trying to lose weight but you're trying to burn fat? I run 2 miles twice a week and I don't really have a lot of fat in my diet. I try to work out my abs, too. I haven't had much luck though. What do i do?!

Therein lies the difference between "loosing weight" and "loosing fat". When you lose weight, you could be losing anything -- water, fat, muscle.... The goal of most people is to lose fat, of course. You might be in your healthy BMI range, but still feel like you have fat to lose. I know that I can easily be at a healthy BMI but have a pretty decently sized stomach roll. So, essentially, it sounds like you still need to lose weight to get to your goal, but you want to make sure the weight lost is FAT and not anything else. And to do that you have to do the basics. Eat fewer calories than your body burns in a day (but not too low or your body will feed off of the muscle and store the fat) and exercise doing both cardio AND strength. Do you lift weights? Do bodyweight exercises like pushups, squats, lunges? You need to do those types of things in addition to your running and ab work to keep the muscle around while you burn the fat.
