when to train abs

[lilrich75]

I just started working out after years of abusing my body
I gained a whole lot of weight. But now its time for a change
I'm 5'3" 235lbs. My question is,is it better to train abs after I loose
weight or start now on me beer belly..

thanks in advance...

Doing hundreds of sit ups isnt going to get rid of that beer belly. Cardio and diet are the keys to losing weight. Implement a weight training regime and get diet down and then knuckle down and stick to it. See CowPimp's thread on compiling a split routine in the Training forum.

Train your abs now. Just because you won't be able to see them until you cut the fat doesn't mean core strength is something you can neglect. Here are the threads Platinum is referring to:

I also urge you to take a closer look at your diet, as that is really going to be the limiting factor in your weight loss journey:
