Needing to be Heard Needing to be Heard

I am incredibly frustrated with the lack of real communication between my hubby and me. We talk all the time but he really does not hear me nor does he want to. By not hearing me he can keep up with his boyish antics as he runs to yoga 7 days a week and goes ...Read More

Beat AB Flab

I am a 44- year- old healthy and fit female.

I have belly flab and I absolutely despise the way my stomach area looks. The rest of my body looks pretty good but my belly area really bothers me. I workout six days a week. I power walk and run and take spinning classes for cardio and fat burning. I also lift light weights and get flexibility exercise in a class two or three times a week. I’m not one of those lazy exercisers. I really push myself to get the most from my workouts. I think my diet is reasonably healthy. What can I do besides getting a tummy tuck or liposuction?
