    Wear looser pants :wink:

    I'm below my goal weight now. I still have a muffin top if i try to squeeze into something that's too small.

    I have had them since I was in high school! There is unfortunatly no way to target that specific area. Just general cardio weight loss. I get on this one machine (sorry don't know the name) and you kneel and twist your lower half with your chest facing forward and it seems to be strengthening the muscle there...so hopefully one day these lovely love handles will be goners!

    Don't shoot me but the only way mine has ever dissapeared was when I took phentermine. I'm just being honest.

    Proof that, that stuff should be either banned or available to everyone. lol

    They are usually the last thing to go on people. It is all about your diet. Cutting out sugar (bread, cookies, cakes etc) and drink will help these disappear.

    That stuff scares me! My friend had it prescribed to her and told me to take one, so I did and it was terrible! I had cotton mouth all day and could not stop moving!! lol

    Reduce body fat, increase muscle tone in your core and your glutes (core for your back and front, glutes to fill out the bottom of your pants to prevent the dreaded poppy pants look).
    Avoid low rise pants.
    Avoid being sucked into the size on the pant instead of the fit.
    Get tailoring if necessary.

    Contrary to (popular) belief, doing exercises targeting a specific area does not reduce fat in that area. Reducing body fat in general (by diet & exercise) will reduce "muffin top".

    Best plan for you is cardio, strength training and a healthy/proper diet.

    Maybe I should be a tad more specific..... How do I target those areas while working out. I am dieting and working out. I just want those specifically to get lost! :smile:
