You must eat clean and weight train along with cardio. Creating a calorie deficincy means using more than you consume. Good Luck. -------------- We must become the change we want to see.

There is no exercise or diet that will take fat off of one specific area of your body. Typically, when you lose fat, it is all over. Also, usually, the stomach is one of the last and most difficult places that you lose fat from. It takes exercise AND diet mixed together with dedication, patience, and TIME. -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything.

My diet is pretty clean, but I have not gotten to th 150% clean yet. I really do very well during the week but the weekends are still difficult!!! I will get upset if it is not gone, or well on the way to being gone, by March of 2004!!! -------------- Gramma

It took me a little over a year, but I can see them now, not as strong as I want them to be, but they will. Diet is the key here, exercises for the abs comes second. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

My husband and I followed a 45 day program we found in Muscle and Fitness Hers a while back that had us doing different workouts every other day for upper abs, lower abs and obliques. It must've worked cuz we lost at least on inch from each area by the end of the 45 days. It had three different levels of difficulty, so you could do it over and over.

Carivan Posts: 8,542 Joined: 2002/01/20	2003/05/09, 03:53 PM If you eat really clean and do a total weight training routine, working the abs once per week would work because in other certain exercises the abs are working.

No fried foods, no Macs etc etc. Allow yourself a cheat day after a while and have something you crave. -------------- We must become the change we want to see.

kolly7 Posts: 1 Joined: 2005/07/05	2005/07/05, 08:09 PM is it possible to loose weight without working out?
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2005/07/05, 08:30 PM Sure...take in less calories than you need, and you will lose weight. At the end of the day, this is what it is really all about. Working out would be a nice addition though, if you simply lose weight, much of it will be muscle as well as fat, and may well change your muscle to fat ratio for the worse. And without working out, you cannot "mold" your body into the shape you desire, if you are now pear shaped for instance, you will simply become a smaller but flabbier pear shape. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
