I love that you posted this. I was just talking about this with my best friend. I've even lost weight, but this still seems to hang around. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!!

You can't spot reduce, so you just need to loose more wieght, and add more muscle all around.

One suggestion - there is a machine at curves and I heard someone saying how it really helps the back. But you don't need to have the machine to do the exercise. First let me describe the machine: you sit down on it and there is a bar to the left hand side. You wrap both hands on the handles and then pull the bar to your right side - then back and forth. So it would seem this twisting motion might help that area. Be careful not to twist too strenuously. I would use small hand weights too. But maybe someone with more experience or a background with exercise can offer up some better advice.

My trainer has me doing a lot of excercies for my back and obliques (the area on the sides & back of your stomach). The last one she had me do was this: get a weight ball (they have them at the gyms) and hold the ball with both hands on one side. Makea motion across your body and up as if you are tossing the ball up in the air across the opposite side of your body from where you started. When you come back down, twist your body. But make sure that you have your back straight and your knees beant- the motion should com from your stomach- not your legs. Do that 10 times on each side and do 2-3 sets each side.
