If you have a lot of body fat around your midsection and back does doing 100 sit-ups/crunches really even matter?Should ab work be done at all if you have 50 or 70 lbs to lose?The main thing is the cardio  & diet to burn the flab off first so that you can see your abs,right?I read a quote that said "Abs are made in the kitchen"cannot remember where I read it but do you agree with that quote and do you think doing 100 situps everyday with a whole bunch of flab on your abs is a waste of time till you burn off the layers of fat?

I usually just use http://www.sparkpeople.com to track my calories and food but  maybe blogging it here will help me if anyone has some advice or suggestions about my diet.I’m doing the Body For Life Challenge but I’m also tracking my calories. When I started the program without tracking calories I had gained 2 lbs so I’m incorporating calorie counting also so that I can keep dropping weight.
