Well, what I've been doing that's really helped shrink my stomach is "Pilates"...Coming down from 312lbs I didn't think that there would be "ANYTHING" that would help.....B/c I use to be completly " ROUND"..lol...Now I finally have a waist again..I know I still have a long way to go..But, doing Pilates daily is really making a "Huge" difference!
