    I have always been told that you cannot spot target weight-loss. For example, I am the opposite, I have lost a lot of weight in my arms, face and thighs, but I feel like my stomach has no gotten smaller.

    You can do strength training/weight lifting that focus on those areas where you would like to get smaller, but doing strength training helps build muscle and muscle burns fat, which will make you smaller.

    I hope this helps you.

    Can't spot lose fat. Just gotta keep workin and let it come off.

    Nothing wrong with workin those muscles in the mean time though. Squats and lunges for your legs- maybe some pilates. Push ups, pullups and tricep pushups (where your hands are on the seat of a chair and you dip yourself down). If you want some creative workouts, check out women's health or self- both magazines have at home workouts. For pushups a bunch of us are doing the hundredpushups.com challenge- you could start with that.

    Do power yoga or vinyasa yoga- your arms, shoulders, butt, and thighs will tone a lot. Also, kick boxing, Tae Bo...

    Yup kickboxing! I've been doing Turbo Jam for 4 years and loving it. I've been working on 30-day shred lately to try and build more muscle b/c Turbo Jam made my arms so lean I started looking a little bony (just look at my profile pic).
