Ht. 5'6, Wt. 180 - Hey, y'all! I just figured something out that might help you all with motivation-related things. I was just doing my homework, and I started to notice that my stomach and abdomen area was just sitting there all jiggley and it started to bother me. So I got up and did 300 crunches. Then my inner thighs were annoying me, so I did 40 leg-lifts. I lifted weights and did bicep curls to work on my arms. So here is my point: When you start feeling that you just can't get rid of fat on a certain part of your body, do something that works on that area. I found then when I feel a workout burn in my abs or arms or legs, it makes me feel like I am really doing something about the fat that's there. If you do that for a little bit each day, then it will all go away quickly. If you are in school, and you feel your stomach bounce a bit, stretch your abs or touch your toes or lay on the ground all strecthed out for a minute (that is for when you have a study hall). If you are sitting in your seat in class, stretch your arms way above your head. This way, this won't look like you are working out, when in reality, you are. It might not be much at the time, but it will all add up and make you feel good as you go. Here's a tip also: I am sure we all have that little jelly-role on our lower abdomen, and it never goes away no matter what! Here's something I found to help me feel the burn in my jelly-role. When you do crunches, instead of putting your knees up, lay your legs out flat and crunch up slowly over and over again. This works the upper and lower ab muscles! So stay active and feel the burn!
