This message is to Ashley. If you would like to try this let me tell you... it isn't hard at all. You just have to tell yourself no... And I understand it's hard... I'm still straining. This is still the very beginning for myself. But try doing 90 crunches your first day. If you don't think you can, you don't have to do them all at once. Then the next day, try 300. I do 150 before I take my 20 minute walk, and 150 when I get home from my walk. Along w/ leg crunches. Instead of using your upper body. Try using your legs. Place your hands under your "bottom". I find it easier that way. And bring your legs towards you as much as you can. Do as many as you possibly can, and up it a little everyday. There are some other excersizes too that you can do w/ your legs. You can also use your imagination... if you feel a burn then it's working something out. And you can even search on yahoo or something too see differant exercizes. But if you have unbarable craving like I do... instead of potato chips... try the saltless crackers... Instead of a candy bar... try fat free peanut butter... or even fruit. And I'm not promising this will work for you, but it honestly has for me. But you need to be sure you're getting all the food groups a day that you need. But if you feel that 4 small meals a day will work for you rather than 3 big ones. You go for it. Because losing a pound a day... feels great.
