Hi Everyone, I am new to myfitnesspal. Just joined today. I am 128-129 pounds, 5'6 ft. So I am not not overweight, ideal weight for my height & body is 120-130. I want to be 120 pounds, but my major issue it to loose inches from my midsection.
I have really skinny upper-body, and my midsection is huge. Which puts me in very ugly shape.I want to loose inches from love handles, stomach, hip and thighs.
Please pass me any advice, I am not too concern about the weight as I said earlier, but loosing inches is I believe harder then loosing weight, so I will really appreciate your help.
I want to loose at-least 2 inches from my handles, thighs and hips. I have started working out form last week only. And trying to watch what I eat, I have started doing cardio for 40 mins and 20 mins strength training 5 days per week.
Please advice!

Thanks,

    Hi! I would suggest Jillian Michaels' DVDs, especially the 30 Day Shred. It's a tough workout and will kick your butt, but you see almost immediate results (and it's only a 20 minute daily workout.)

    Most people experience rapid loss of inches doing this DVD, myself included. It works and it's totally worth the $9 at Target. Plus you'll be amazed at how quickly you tone up.

    I totally agree! 30DS is an unbelievable workout and I began to see results within 3 days.

    I have had very good resulys following a program called Body For Life. They have a website and a book available. There is also a companion book called Eating for Life. The workouts take an extreme commitment in effort but very little time.
    Some great recipes and good guidance on how to eat healthy.

    Losing inches is easier than losing weight. When people diet and exercise, they notice their clothes fitting differently before the scale shows weight loss. The way to flatten your belly is to exercise. Lots of people think that doing crunches is the only way to lose it, but that's just not so. Cardio will help lose the belly fat in addition to ab exercises. There are so many exercises you can do besides the basic crunch, check online for ideas. Also, drink a LOT of water and limit your sodium intake and you should be on your way to a flatter belly! Good luck!

    They have that at the gym where I work out, and I've seen people use them, but it makes sense that it will help tone up the mid section. I think hula hooping with a regular hoop would do the trick too!
