Tummy fat is a problem, I still have fat on my belly which is why I haven't posted any side shots anywhere yet! lol! Think exercise. You need to tone up and pull 'in' what is there around the waist. Core type exercises, walking.. walking is one of the BEST for belly fat, but the exercises to tone up your core will do so much for you. Pilates, Callanetics, the Core Rhythm type exercises, all good!
Thanks for you response and advice.

It totally slipped my mind that there are exercises I can do that will help. I've only just lost enough weight that I can start using my cross trainer, not too sure how I'll do.

I will do some research on core rhythm, pilates and callanetics exercises and find a program that will suit me.

I know walking is a brilliant form of exercise, I'd love to swap my never been used cross trainer for a treadmill as going outside and walking around would only bring on panic attacks.

Thanks again.

I just remembered I used to do callanetics when I was a teen and not this big, I really felt the muscles in my tummy working so I'll look up that first.
