    I notice when I do a lot of side crunches mine always seem to feel a little tighter. But that's all I got. Good post idea!

    work your obliques. it'll help tone that area more.

    sorry hon, but the only way to get them to leave is to lose weight all over, and it'll just make them shrink in the process. there's no magic fix to make them specifically go away.

    I do a strange sorta knee lift to the side that uses my obliques. A trainer showed me YEARS ago. Also laying on my back and rotating my hips using my obliques, then roll to your side and raise your legs up in the air, once again using your obliques. Hopefully I manged to describe that well enough.

    Please don't take offense to what I'm about to say, there is nothing wrong with you and this is a common problem. You don't need to lose weight, you need to lose body fat. If you don't know what your body fat is, get tested at a gym and it will give you an idea of how much fat you need to lose.

    You can drop body fat by cleaning up your diet. Eat more lean meats and vegetables and limit the amount of processed foods, sodas, and carbs such as bread. Exercising your abdominal area can make the muscles larger and actually increase the appearance of your love handles. Think of it this way, you have muscles under there with some fat sitting on top of them. If you increase the muscle without reducing the fat, the muscle will just push the fat out more and make them look larger.

    Body fat is all about diet. You should be able to drop a few percentages in a month if you just eat really healthy. (You don't have to starve yourself at all, just eat healthy.) Cardio will also help but you don't have to go crazy with it.

    All women lose and gain body fat differently. With me, my thighs are the last place I lose fat and the first place I gain it. Your love handles may be that place for you personally.

    marvel girl is right. i fought my love handles for years, at least i thought they were love handles.... maybe you just naturally have hips. with your height and weight, i doubt you have a bunch of fat there....

    80% of losing weight is all diet. i struggled to lose 10 lbs thru working out, and i lost 10 additional pounds in 1/3 of the time and much more easily by just regulating my diet.

    you probably don't have much fat, you just need to get toned. I'm 5'1" and 115, but I gained 7 lbs. once I started exercising. I still need to tone up though.
