Good luck, girls! I know you can do it! Just a little forewarning, though... lots of crunchers won't help melt the fat in your tummy, and if done improperly can actually make your tummy bigger! (from building muscle) Aerobic activity may be a better bet. Have fun!

Good luck to both of you! I am trying to lose some weight. But I get alot of excersice already. I go outside ALMOST everyday.

Thanks everyone. I do my crunchers correctly because we have to do them at school and my gym teacher walks around to make sure we are doing it right. It burns! lol... my dad says it should help. I am in hockey and I never lose weight because I gain muscle. This year I didn't lose anything because we didn't have to go on diets this year.

Toby's my baby... WOW I wish I was that size!!! I weigh 152 and I'm only 5' 3" 1/2.

Thanks everyone!

Sounds good! But go to a few exercise websites first. My advice is you look a bit more into it, just so you can stick to it better. I think it will be REALLY hard to stick to a "No junk food" diet, so allow yourself some, just in moderation.

As well, if you're doing that many crunches a day, you should be doing back strengthening exercise too. You can really hurt your back if you don't. Whenever you strengthen one muscle, you have to strengthen the opposite one as well. (ex. biceps/triceps)

Good luck!

Thanks. What back strengthning exercersizes are there?

Oh, I don't really know what they're called. I think one is the Superman or something. Some you can do are laying on your stomach, lifting one leg and the opposite arm, holding, then switch. Here's some health links for you.
