One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to
http://www.trim-fit.info and order you free trial, also you only pay 5.49$ shipping and handling. Good luck!

Follow this Diet chart and yoga aasans

It is good that you have sought the help of Yoga to bring your body back into shape. While your practices and measure to eliminate excess weight or what you do is important, what you shouldn’t do is just as important.

* Don’t resort to weight reduction pills or powders of any sort and please avoid crash diets. We shall prescribe you a simple diet that is healthy, easy to follow and will deliver the desired results. See a nutritionist or dietician, if you must, but preferably one who knows and practices Yoga.

* Never skip meals. This makes you overeat at other times. So, by all means eat three or even four times a day, but eat light and sparingly.

Yogic Diet

This is very important, if you wish to get back into shape and develop a healthy, slim and shapely physique. Let your diet be Yogic and Sattvic (pure, light and predominantly vegetarian). This means plenty of raw foods – salads, sprouts and seasonal fruit – vegetable juices, dried fruits and loads of water.

Avoid potatoes, peas, chick peas, grams, peanuts, all non-veg fare, fried, fatty and spicy foods, junk / fast foods, packaged foodstuffs and confectionary products. Also keep away from milk and milk products such as cheeses and butter. But you may have plenty of diluted buttermilk prepared from skimmed milk. Avoid snacking between meals and, as mentioned before, never skip a meal.

Usually what I do is work my abs 2-3 times a week. You need at least 2 days rest to get rid of all the soreness (DO NOT work out your abs while youre sore… Thats a sure way to get injuries).

And just a reminder doing so many crunches day in and day out will make your body so use it it probably won’t have any effect anymore. You will probably see a plateau in ab strength.

My Workout consists of the follow :
Weighted Ab Crunches 3×10
Weighted Oblique Crunches 3×10 each side of your waist
Leg Raises 3×10 (Try adding some weights or try getting your legs up to a parrallel to the floor and hold for a few seconds. You will really feel a burn in your lower abs)
BodyWeight Crunches 3×10
And some various other bodyweight or medicine ball exercises

I do this twice a week and am seeing good results.
But remember to keep your lower back strong as well. You don’t want to be keeled over all the time do you. A simple exercise is to place you feet on the floor and your stomach on the ball. Then try to raise your upper body as far as you can then back down. Do about 3×10.

Getting abs takes alot of effort and dedication. Keep at it for about a 2 months and you should see results.

All the best

Hi

What you’re doing sounds about right to me!! As long as you do that workout so that you are working up a sweat and at least 3 times a week – along with a healthy balanced diet (and loads of water!! About 2-3 litres aday.) You should see results really soon and the weight will vanish within about 4 weeks as long as you need to lose it that is!!
Hope this helps!
