My Bikini Quest =D || Day 6 || (Poll: Sodas?)

[I Am Smartie]

This is a quest to fit in with my athletic looking sisters.
I am not overweight, but I am unfit and any fat I have collects around my stomach, which is more dangerous than fat anywhere else.
Last summer we went to Croatia, which was beautiful but I felt very self-conscious and there was a tearful incident on a beach. (Croatians have the bodies of Gods) Since then, I have lost 15lbs, and I this time I want to make the weight loss more exercise-based.

5'4 (and a half)
Goal: 110lbs
Now: 120lbs
(as of 25th March)

I have dieted before, but it was mostly just eating less, and I am still left with tummy flab.
I need to exercise this time!

Exercise: Treadmill (5 miles, 5x a week)

And 100 sit-ups whenever I feel like it.

I began on Saturday 20th, but I won't bother recording that here.

You're probably better off just getting down to around 110-115 lbs and just tone, instead of losing more weight. Also, instead of doing just cardio, add some muscle building exercises to your routine. You'll get toned and look better, while losing fat quicker because of the added muscle.

Thanks, the trouble with muscle building exercises is I don't know anything about them... we were never shown any in school.

I guess running will build leg muscle, do you think I could get away with that and sit-ups?

Here, I uploaded this turbulence training thing. It incorporates muscle building workouts and high intensity interval training. Do the treadmill like you are now, but add in the muscle building workouts. Start out with the introductory workout for two weeks, going A on mondays and B on fridays. Then go to the beginner workouts as stated on the file.
