I am trying to loose 100lb, I have lost 30 so far, (exercise and diet). I have lost cm all over (30cm this month – biggest loss at the gym this month!), but the excess fat on my lower abdomen seems to be getting flabbier (if that is a word). I am not looking for short cuts, but I want to know if there are any extra exercises to help with the lower abdomen, and what should I do about supporting the flab as the diet and exercise continue to work.
I have Crohn’s, which has made any constriction or abdominal exercise impossible in the past, and that is what I think has caused the blubber to settle there. So now the Crohn’s is not causing any problems, I need to learn how to work these muscles again.
I am also using a skin firming moisturising cream, and it seems to be helping on my arms and thighs.
I am going to the gym (Curves) 4-5 times a week (30 min), swimming when I can, walking 3-4 times a week, and using ‘The Bean’ 4-5 times a week.
Thanks for all advice.

So far, your cardio routine is fine, in helping you to crank up your metabolism to burn off more body fat from your entire body (that includes fat from your abs too).
I think you could improve the flabbiness in your lower abs by doing Pilates.
This is a superb exercise for abs, really.
The sheer action of pulling-in navel back into your spine in every exercise movement, is enough to flatten and strenghten your abs, beyond your expectation.
Plus, the exercise focus is on your core muscles (abs, butts, thighs, back and spine), so you get to tone and strengthen these muscles too.
The net result – you’ll develop leaner, flatter abs, stonger and longer legs, thighs, and sexier butts and backs. Your posture also improves tremendously.
Hi. Diet and cardio are good. Resistance exercise would be even better. Since you’re already going to the gym, ask the guy in charge to teach you how to lift free weights. Note: DO NOT JUST CHARGE IN AND TRY IT WITHOUT FINDING OUT HOW. Check with your GP first, but if you’re in good health it shouldn’t be a problem. Start off easy, and take it slow. Big compound movements like the squat and the deadlift use all of the muscles in the body. The knock on effect is that your metabolic rate is raised much higher than it would be by cardio alone. Work out twice a week and you’ll never be overweight again.
