Hi my name is Melissa. I guess since I am starting all over again it is time to redo my bio from 2007. I made it to my weight goal of 180 back in 2009, it didn't last long because I have cheeped almost all of the way back up to 243. So lets try this thing again and start with my first goal of 200.

Ab work: Am I being impatient for not working to my full potential?
I understand that point. But I'm not sure that is answering what I am asking. I meant that in that area the fat is shrinking down on the sides more than in the middle. Is that normal to see? Instead of all around flatening. I trying to reduce the fat in that area more than see that so called 6 pack.
Did I clarify myself?

The Best Stomach Exercise
I really enjoyed reading this post and all of the replies. This was great information and really good points made.
I just posted a question asking about abs. And I guess this answered my question. I just need to be more patient. I am walking and eating right and doing cardio. I just wish the abdominal ares wasn't so slow to reduce.
One day I WILL have that flat belly I had before children AGAIN!!!

Ab work: Am I being impatient for not working to my full potential?
I have been working on my abs for a month now. And I am slowly getting better at it. I noticed this morning that I can see changes in my ab area on the sides. But the middle part is still pudgey!
So am I being impatient or am I not working my abs right or hard enough?
When it comes to exercise I feel like I am flying blind and doing what I can. Any advise or help would be wonderful!!

Pilates
A month ago I was asking the same questions. And finally I just went to the library and ordered a couple of books and found some beginner dvd's and decided to try it!
I have to say that I love it! I didn't start my weight loss with exercise. I lost 45lbs by eating better, and then eating right !
And 2 months ago I finally felt ready to tackle exercising. So I can most definatly relate to where you are coming from!!
Anyways, for me I found that I really enjoyed the Winsor Pilates for Beginners dvd. Check your local library and see if you can get it from there and try it out. That has been a HUGE help for me. I hate to spend money on dvd's and not use them!
I have found that as a beginner in Pilates, that this is a great workout of the abs and legs. Strenghthing your back and gives me more flexiablity. In my first week I did Pilates 4 days. And at the start of the next week I noticed that my back was not hurting in the streatches and I was streaching further.
By the end of my second week, I realized that the weight wasn't coming off as fast as I wanted and after reading some articles I figured out that Pilates is very effective if mixed in with Cardio. When I started doing both I have seen quicker results. I even add a little bit of weights to a couple of the moves.
I would definatly give it a try. You don't need anything to do it. I did buy a yoga mat (only because it was on sale!)but you could always use a towel. I hope I have helped and not rambled on to much. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask. If I don't know the answer, I will try and find it or help you find someone who does!
Good luck!!
