I have been walking briskly for 2 weeks and have lost 8 pounds (down to 135):D I have also been eating healtier, which definetlly has been working. I still have these "love handles" that I would love to get rid of, (leaving to go to the beach for Memorial Day weekend) I know there is no spot reduction, so what I need to know is what exercises can I do to also help with this problem without making my hips looking bigger.

You can do several different core muscle exercises that only flex your abs. There are several different areas of the abs that need to be worked doing different approaches. Look online for demonstrations. Along with regular crunches, there's are reverse crunches, bicycling movements, etc. This will help you build muscle in this area for definition. But if you seriously want to lose lbs. you need to add more variety to your plans in order to build muscle which burns fat.

Ultimately, love handles suck, and everyone has them. So unless you are over-weigh, I wouldn't worry about it, even the skinny girls have them, haha ;) And they are a pain in the butt to get rid of.
