Am I doing something wrong?

Everyone loses weight in different patterns--for some, it comes off first/easier in the arms and legs and last in the middle. That's usually the case for girls and women and can often be just the opposite for guys.

Anyway, situps won't help you lose weight. They train the muscle underneath the fat layer, but don't do anything to burn the fat on top. Cardio is key for weight loss all over the body, so make sure you're getting plenty.

And remember--weight loss SHOULD be slow, not rapid. When you lose slowly, you're more likely to keep it off for good.

Congrats on your progress so far!

I don't have that answer but i've been trying and trying and its hard. The one thing i do know is not to give up. So keep trying, maybe it needs time.

I've been excercising for about a month and a half now. I've seen results in my arms and legs, but not my abs. I do about 150 situps every other day. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?
