Do lots of tummy firming exercises such as sit-ups/crunches, reverse crunces, bicycle (alternate legs, back and forth off the ground whilst lying on your back). Also, try to pull your stomach in slightly/lock on your abs at all times (whenever you remember at first, until it becomes automatic). Especially ensure you do this while exercising. Good luck!

If you have six weeks try Slim in 6. With my second baby I lost 47 pounds I gained and then 5 more. You might think that is not alot but when you are 5 feet it is. The stories on the website are really inspiring.  Also I'm reading Total Body Makeover by Bob Greene.  All the stories in the book are inspiring checkout the websites.

It's ok if they are not more than an inch...i am 37 at 131 lbs and try to work out and watch what I eat to avoid them for as long as i can.  In a guy...i personally apply the same rule, dont like a guy with tummy fat. Healthy yes...overweight no, I want my partner to care about his health and how he is fitting in those jeans.\n\n:)

5'0 and 134 pounds that's not bad you just need to tighten up your tummy try set ups, crunches there is even a crunch cheerleaders do! And walking, small meals 5 times a day and nothing after 6pm and drink lots of water!

Some people just don't have flat bellies. Don't fret over it too much. Do what you're doing. If you are still overweight, then exercise more. If you're not overweight, but still have a belly, chill out.

You need to hit the gym babe and you gotta go on daily jogs. Do 100 to 200 situps each night. You should see results. Oh, and it may sound prissy, but Pilates really work too! My stomach got flatter and I formed some abs in about a month of all that and eating right. You're doing great with the eating(make sure your portion size isn't too big). You're half way there!

I sympathize with you because I was in the same situation.All i can advice you is to go for daily walks, push-ups for the arms, sit-ups or crunches for the abdominal(stomach area)If you keep to it you'll see results in a couple of days or weeks depending your metabolism(also what you eat..watch those french-fries!)

when i was in highschool, and i just started this exercise routine, i was getting hella stronger every week.  and i would have a bm sometimes once a week, sometimes not for two weeks (no discomfort, though.).  as time went on, it went back to every 4 or so days, now i'm back to every day.  really though, if you ask a doctor, they're bound to have heard about stuff a LOT more embarrassing than this.

I delivered my fifth child November 29th, 2005.  I was 195 pounds at the time, after having the baby I was very determined to get back into my size 4/6 clothing, so I started eating every 2 hours, to speed up my metabolism, then I incorporated a 30 minute workout tape into my day.  The weight came off at a very steady pace, 1-3 pounds a week.  I'm now a size 8 and weigh 141 pounds.  I believe more weight would have came off on a weekly basis, if I were only able to get more sleep, I was averaging 2-3 maybe 4 ( if I was lucky)- hours of sleep a night. Try this and see if it works for you.  Eat every 2 hours- healthy for the most part- I mean, feel free to have the equivalent of 2 cookies a day, if you can't contain yourself, and when you eat your meals- eat them on a small plate.  That way you can control your portions.  If you have bad cravings in between eatings- then chew a piece of peppermint gum, or suck on a minty cough drop...also try drinking water.  Sometimes your body thinks it's hungry, when actually, it's thirsty.  So drink water when you get hungry and wait 20 min. for your body to take it all in, and see if you're still hungry, if you are, then eat.\nTo recap:  Eat every two hours (something healthy)- this includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Eat dinner on a small plate and make sure you have lots of veggies on it, no food after 7pm, and 30 min. of exercise a day- minimum.\n Here's An example of what I eat in a day:\n\nBreakfast:  a bowl of whole grain cereal with Silk Soymilk, and an orange or apple.\n\nSnack: (2 hours later)- Fruit, one serving size of crackers...\n\nLunch:(2 hours later)- a healthy salade, maybe a sandwich...\n\nSnack: (2 hours later)- 2 graham crackers, milk...then \n\nDinner: (2 hours later)- whatever I make for the kids- just more veggies on my plate...and on a small plate.  \n\nA third snack is optional, but no food after 7pm.  It really works.  You'll lose so much weight, and you won't feel starved.

give it time it will go...it's mostley fluid but make sure you don't eat too much. It's not so much the situps and ab workouts you do because that will tone your muscles and get them into shape. It's how much fat that's on the outside so just watch your weight and give it time and your tummy will go down :)

Sit-ups will help your muscle tone, but only if you do them right. Most people don't and they end up using thier back muscles instead of their abs. Can you feel the burning in your abs? If so you're probably doing them right. However, muscle tone can't become visible until the layer of fat over the muscles is thinned. If you have a pot belly, you'll probably need to try an over all fatk-busting program to bring tone to your abdominal muscles. Try doing cardio. You don't necessarily need to change your diet, but doing cardio will boost your metabolism and breakdown your fat storages. You'll get results a hundred times faster this way than by doing sit ups alone. \nIf you don't want to do cardio, at least vary your ab exercises. Get one of those videos, you can get them from the library, or do side situps and leg lifts to tone more than one muscle in your abs. \n\nI hope this helps!

Hey, I hear ya.  Start doing some cadio to uncover the layer of flab; then do crunches for the top of your abs, and leg raises for the lower part of your abdomen.  And keep going on the diet.  The 30 minutes of cardio 3 or 4 times a week are just as important as the crunches and leg raises. ok?  goodluck:)Oh, you can do the cardio and the crunches together.  Just alternate days; that's what I do.:)

Strenghten your back. It's weak. I will suggest lying face down on the floor. Lift your upper body and lower body off the ground so only your mid-section is touching the floor. Go up and down about 24 times a day.(2 sets of 12). You can add weights by lifting 2 - 5 dumbells in each hand.\nDo it 5 times a week.\n\nAlso do some crunches. Your stomach and back go hand in hand.

Doesn't matter.  They'll still abuse you, it'll still hurt.  Don't worry about it.  You're in good shape (not overweight) now, you could think about doing pushups and situps and pullups, but you'll still get it all in June.\n\nGood luck.  Semper Fi.

Do not push yourself this hard everyday because you will burn out.  Do hard days mixed in with lighter days.  Your body needs to recuperate after you go max like that and if you do not get the needed rest then you will not progress.  On lighter days run a bit slower but for a longer period of time and do about 75% of your max situps and pushups but do 2 sets.  Keep track of what you do.  On your lighter days slowly ramp up what you do, meaning increase your pushups and situps by 1 rep each workout.  Never go all out more than once per week like when you are tested in the Guard.  This should help you.  By doing these light days and by slowing ramping up what you do on your light days you will blow your previous bests that you had attained on your hard day when they test you.  It works awesome for me.
