Hi guys. I've recently lost just over 3 stone (I've lost 50 pounds) and I am now between 10 stone 8 pounds and 11 stone (140-146 pounds) (I've been fluctuating a little bit, depends how badly/well I've eaten that past week/fortnight - I only weigh myself on Sundays). Anyway, I've noticed that I've dropped a lot of fat on my chest, legs and arms, but I still have some around my stomach/back.

I was just wondering if any of you guys have tips for the best way to tone my stomach and cut the fat. I do a fair bit of cardio, running for 30mins about 3 times a week, and riding bikes for around 45mins about 4 or 5 times a week, and I'm sure that's good for my conditioning, but not so great for toning up my stomach. I'm sure sit ups are a good way of doing it, but does anyone have any ideas of how many reps/set and how often I should be doing this, and how best to achieve results?

Cheers for your help, I know this sounds like a stupid post, but I just thought it'd be best to ask a bunch of sport fans rather than just my friends who have no idea/interest!
