What can I do every day to work on them (in addition to WW and low card)?
I'm desperate! I even considered doing Slim Fast!

Future.....you can do crunches tilll you are blue in the face, but the only thing that will really work is cutting out the fat in your diet and lots of cardio....
My trainer tells me this all the time, and then I read the article that Shamma posted, it confirmed my thoughts....

Nah- it's not the fat- it's the carb... when I am under 30 grams of carbs a day my body fat % goes down one percentage point a week!
I lost a lot of weight before my wedding- it was a combo of no carbs and nervEs!!!

Cardio, weight trainning, lower calories, but not too low!!! Out of you calories for the day have .8 grams of protein per pound of your body weight per day.
The key consistancy. Don't cheat all week. Give yourself one chaet meal on the weekend.
Are you prone to getting more fat on your stomache, or are you more even?

definetly be consistent in your eatting & exercise. That is 100% RIGHT...you can not spot reduce (do sit ups or leg lifts to loose fat).
A calorie is a calorie, it all turns into fat if you eat too much.
The first time I tried on my dress it was tight. I am not worried (over year away), but I lately have not been snacking as much at night (boredom), and I tried the dress on this weekend and IT FIT BETTER. No change in types of food, just amount.
Just do more cardio 30-45 minutes daily, strength train 3 days per week

Thank s
I know what I have to do, I just needed some reassurance....the carbs do make a huge difference. I was doing great and then BAM! Aunt Flo came to town with a vengeance and ruined my week.
And to top it all off, I just tried on all my summer clothes from last summer (I was 20 lbs skinnier!! ) and of course nothing fits. Hows that for motivation!

I am a HUGE advocate of Pilates... I was a member of Crunch gym working out 4-5 times a week at one point and nothing i did there came even close to the fast results i saw and felt from Pilates. A great DVD to start with (and CHEAP too) is Pilates For Dummies... its like $11 and available on amazon! And don't get ****ed in to that pricey Mari Winsor thing on TV... Pilates is a very specific pogram, so the majority of moves are going to be exactly the same no matter which tape you use.
