    so embarrassing, but I was just curious if anyone knew of any good exercises that can help me to get rid of them? or at least shrink them down a little bit

      Continue to lose body fat and they will shrink. Nothing you can do to spot reduce them.

      Doing a good core workout (yoga is great, so is a workout regimen using an exercise ball) will help build the muscle, but you need to burn the excess fat layer to reveal those beautiful abs that will be waiting underneath!

      I wish there was some kind exercise that would focus on them. I have a pretty much washboard stomach yet my love handles are massive, and my thighs. But I guess everyone holds their weight in different places. The only thing that you can do is eat healthy and exercise.
      If any one has any exercises to help I'd love to know!

      What this guy said. Also, wear clothes that fit properly and you won't have any bulges or love handle muffin tops!

      Jogging, zumba, yoga and pilates. They are all great classes but you there aren't any exercises to target it.

      this may sound crazy but I had a friend yesterday tell me she got a weighted hula hoop and would do that 20 min a few times a week watching tv and she saw great results

      Broom stick twists (http://www.ehow.com/how_2190752_work-obliques-broom-stick-twist.html) and tea pot dips (can't find a link for it but stand shoulder with a part and bend from your waist to one side and come up SLOWLY. 3 sets of 15 and I PROMISE you'll feel something!)

      This works too for the whole mid section.

      I dont agree with this fully... If I wear jeans that don't give me a muffin top (I did have twins though so lots of skin) my pants DONT stay up - I am constantly pulling them up and they are all baggy everywhere. I have to find proper tops that flatter me instead.
