OK ...So exercising & Dieting seems to be working but all the wrong places, After the Birth of my 2 wonderful children i managed to loose some of the weight, but i am now stuck with this awful looking body shape called the MUFFIN TOP !!
It's pretty bad that Wikipedia now has the definition for this. (posted below)

"Muffin-top" is a generally pejorative slang term used to describe the phenomenon of overhanging fat when it spills over the waistline of pants or skirts of overweight people in a manner that resembles the top of a muffin spilling over its paper casing.

"Well not exactly just overweight people Wikipedia".

Now that we know the what it is " How the heck do we get rid of this?

Any Suggestions?

    Reduce your overall fat percentage will make it smaller. Lift heavy weights to tone & strengthen your core, back, etc and that will make you look sleeker.

    I never thought I would get rid of my muffin top after children, but yes, it's possible! I'm going to ditto what the previous poster said. If you are already eating clean and doing cardio exercises, lift heavy weight to tone & strengthen your core. Planks are also good.

    There have been some wicked results from a Jillian Michael's workout video called "30 Day Shred". There's a lot of success stories/pics posted and there's groups for it too. The video is available in many stores as well as on iTunes and various cable on-demand channels. If you want planks then by God, Jillian will give them to you! ;)

    Oh you can also look it up on uTube. Level 1 in its entirety is there.

    Keep doing what you're doing. You cannot target a specific location on your body for fat loss.
