Congrats on getting your taebo in today! As far as the " pouch " goes,

I think some have inherited it, some others not. I for my part

am " blessed " with the pouch. No matter what I do, it stays there.

There is no miracle cure, crunches won't work on their own. You have

got to work on reducing your general body fat, and then, according to

your genetics your " pouch " will go or not (mine is not as bad, but

it's still there).

Great job Melinda )!!!!!!

Yup, that pooch is the hardest part to get rid of. The fat goes there and hips

first and take their sweet time to come off. I wish I had a secret formula to

give you.

> Sorry. . .not really news worthy, but I was excited!

Who says it's not! To get that much water in AND hold down a full time job

is fantastic!

Now to keep it up, day after day, and soon you'll see a change in how your

body feels, in the softness of your skin, in how easily foods get digested.

Little changes mean a lot. Keep up the good work!
