Well... I stopped going to the gym about 3 months ago and not thinking on renewing membership at least until winter. Went down to 190 or so in April but because of not exercising and eating junk I gained some weight and went up and down for the past 2 months in between 195 and 197 . The first day I started commuting about 12 days ago, the scale said 197.5 and today it says 193.7 and I am very happy ....I feel my core very thight and even though I am not doing any other exercise lately but just my commute rides my abs are getting tighter and I am losing belly fat faster than doing crunches. I do plan on going back to doing some crunches at least every other day and some power training.
