personally, i find that using a rowing machine helps with these "problem areas" as well as sit-ups and crunches. although i'm sure they aren't as bad as you may think they are 
congrats on getting so close to target hun. i hope you'll reach it soon.

Get you! Nearly at target Go girl!! Hey, you probably don't look as bad as you think you do!! People aren't gonna look at you and say 'Yeah she lost weight but her butt is still huge!' 3 stone's pretty huge to lose and that's what folk are gonna notice.
But I think the best way to tone up if you really want to do that area is general cardio. I know people say you have to do specific things like crunches etc.. but when I went to the gym for a couple of weeks people said they noticed straight away that (while I hadn't lost masses of weight), I looked mega toned round the middle!
All the best with reaching your target babe!

LOL only 13 pounds? still close to target in my opinion, i'm nowhere near mine hehe. i wish you the best of luck. perhaps trying the food in the latest mag and it's free book might help? for once most of the recipes in there i'd actually like hehe.

yeah ive been trying the new stuff from the mag......can recommend the smoked salmon pasta and the herby salmon fishcakes(although if you do these the potatoes need far longer than they say---next time i'll just do mine as i normally would for mash!)....have more of the recipies planned over next few days too.

cool we can do the book together! well i'll eat most of the stuff, just not fish *shudders*, nasty horrible stuff that. LOL. i'm going to try and make that egg, chip and pepper bake tonight :cross:i'd recommend the chicken kieves if you haven't tried it. but i would do the breadcrumbs before adding the filling, just way too messy LOL
