What is with love handles and how do you get rid of them???I hate mine! I hate them mostly because it's the only place on my body where I look fat. I am 5'8 and 113 pounds. I have a pretty flat stomach, toned legs and arms, but I just can't get rid of those love handles. It amazes me that all of the fat I get goes right there.
My hips have recently gotten wider, but I think it's just because I'm the age that it's time to have children, so I'm getting what we call "birthin' hips" There isn't anymore fat on my hips, my bones have simply widened. BUT WHAT IS WITH THE LOVE HANDLES????Any idea of how to get rid of these blasted things?The attached picture is me...I'm not flabby anywhere else, just right above the butt:(

You can't have love handles with small size! You can do backward leg lifts to tone that part of your body. Get on hands and knees, move one leg at a time back and up while the knee is bent. Do this until you feel a burn in butt cheeck. That will tone up the area you are asking about. There was a time I thought I had these too, until I got much heavier and then I knew what they really were. Enjoy your size because it expands more as you get older and after you have kids.

I'm a huge fan of hiding flaws. Is it possible you're creating love handles? You could try wearing a higher rise jean so it won't push everything up. And you'd be surprised at how many men find a little bit of extra, especially around the hips and butt, attractive. I say flaunt it.
