Question
I was wondering how long I should expect it to take for me to lose an inch off my stomach area doing crunches and burning 300 calories doing aerobic excercise such as eliptical, stairmaster, or treadmill.  I am a stay at home mom who is breastfeeding.

Answer
Hi Amy,

Glad you're working out.  I can't say (or anyone else) how long it will take to lose an inch around your waist.  If you haven't changed your eating habits, you'll lose about 1 pound every other week from your cardio workouts.

Just keep up the consistent workouts and your body will change.

Hope this helps.
