Love handles!!

I've read through many of the posts and I can't seem to find one that pinpoints what I need. Everyone knows that there is so much health advice out there, that one can get dizzy from the enormity of it. Well, I've tried to go on common sense by just eaing right and exercising. The latter part has me the most confused, I think. I've only been working out now at the gym for about two months so I can't expect much, but surely I would see some decrease in my love handles? I'm 33, 5'3", and roughly 115 lbs. I don't feel fat, but I definitely know that gravity has taken its toll. From exercising I feel better, my clothes fit better, so I know that something is working. But why has there been no difference in my love handles? Is there something particular I should be doing? My workout right now is 45 minutes of weight training (arms, legs, crunches), then onto cardio with about 20-30 minutes of running slightly more than a jog, then the remaining minutes (totalling an hour) of fast walking 4 times a week. What should I be doing??? Also, I'm eating a lot of complex carbs, fruits, and veggies. Could it be the beer or wine making all the fuss? Do I have beer belly??
 
Hi missmo.....have you had kids...might make it a little harder.

The beer and wine probably don't help, but try upping the intensity of your workouts. At 37 and a life long fitness freak, I got caught out there. (damn things snuck up on me one night!) Figured out I could'nt cruise along on the old program anymore.

U mentioned crunches, side crunches too? Twists and other oblique exercises? Side bends using weights?

Find a trainer who could show u some other exercises for your mid-section....mabey you've just hit a plateau.
 
the fact that you have only been at it for a couple minutes is an issue too, as ur mid-section is the hardest to reduce ... you have to be patient
