| Hi there! You drinking enough water, at least 64 oz. a day? Watching your salt intake? Exercising? Those three things really helped deflate my belly bloat, but I'm still pretty much a "newbie" so maybe the "oldtimers" have some better advice

| Well I definately second the water - but I also want to stress patience. It doesn't come off even. I know. Prior to Atkins I was 253lbs Which is more than 110kilograms.....my belly fat is coming off last! It's frustrating. Stay true to the plan, measure yourself and look at the big picture.

| I heard it from someone that if you drink alot of diet sodas or drinks with aspartame, that can have a lot to do with it. Whats your exercise plan? |

| I am having the same problem. I can see a change in my face, neck and booty (disappearing) but I can't seem to lose much in the belly (where I think I need to lose the most. I drink LOTS of water. I suppse it will have to start falling off once my butt totally disappears! LOL |

| I wish I had saved the link.. I was just reading an article on why walking, even just 20 minutes a day, every day, was the best for burning lower belly (visceral) fat. If I come across it again I will post it! Oh, found it. http://health.msn.com/fitness/articl...0214356&page=1 (Feeling guilty now because I had planned to walk my 3 mile 'hilly' route this morning and I lazed in bed instead!)

| I have that problem too! I remember 3 years ago I went from 160 to 138 (my first real ever diet) It wasn't until I hit the 140's before my stomach started going down, and I was losing everything I didn't want first. This was even after walking 3 miles and weight trainining 5 days a week for 2+ hours. It's very frustrating. I wish I could give you an answer but right now I'm walking, doing ab work, squats, and it's still going slowly. I have lost the little booty I had gained, and I just finally went down a cup size. But the stomach...blech! |

| Congratulations on your weight loss. Regarding belly fat, Be patient... It takes time, but it will definitly go away. Make sure you are exercising regularly and include strength training in your routine. unfortunately, we cannot spot reduce our fat areas. It varies from one individual to another. but with consistency.. you will see results. Just hang in there...

| Also, by eating MUFAS (monounsaturated fats) It is proven to reduce the belly fat. As in, avacados, nuts, olives, chocolate. All extremely heart healthy aswell. Sherri

| You lose weight equally off of all of your body, there is no way to target certain areas. Belly fat seems to take longer because you are losing your inner belly fat (the most dangerous kinda of belly fat) that is squishing all of your organs and that doesnt show in the mirror. Keep going and you will eventually start seeing a difference in your belly.
