get a flat stomach

so, i’ve been working out. a lot. cardio. strength training. trying to concentrate on my core. so far i’ve lost an inch from my waist and an inch from my hips and my thighs are smaller…but my stomach hasn’t budged. it’s a little frustrating. any suggestions? something else i should be doing??

I have never been one for exercise. But trying to complete this goal has gotten me really into it. I’m actually looking forward to my workouts! But right now my abs are huuuurrrrting. It’s good though—it means I’m doing something!

I’ve started a journal tracking my progress. It’s a good way to see what I’ve done every day, and a good way to motivate me: I can look back and see where I was and where I am now! I’ve combined toning exercises with lots of cardio—gotta burn the fat to show the muscle!! I’m hoping I’ll have completed this goal in the next month or so.

ugh, I have the problem where my upper body is very slim; you can even see my ribs right under my breasts, but I have a lot of excess weight in my belly, hips and thighs. I’m completely out of proportion!! I’d like to fix that by this summer because I’m sick of buying a size small bikini top and having to pair it with a size large bottom!!
