I have lost just over 3 stone (42 pounds). I still have a long way to go. I have been following the Weight Watchers plan which has worked for me so far.

I have been exercising around three times a week but I have been left with a really bad flabby belly, my fear is that I will end up with an apron of fat once I get to my goal weight. I did originally weigh over 18 stone to start with.

I have also noticed that around the middle it has just gone really big. I have heard that the hormone cortisol hangs around this area if a person is very stressed.

If anyone has any good tips/exercises they know please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Exercise or no exercise you won't be able to lose the weight if you don't cut your food intake but we all know that's pretty hard, right? A good appetite suppressant can help you out big time but it has to be natural or you can get into serious heath problems.

I lost 38 lbs in 2 months by using garcinia cambogia extract (FDA approved 100% natural). In my first month 26 and then 12 the second month. I was an emotional eater and these supplements changed my life. They act like an appetite suppressant so I didn't feel like eating anymore. Not hungry anymore -> Lower calories -> Lose weight, simple as that. I did no exercises just 20 minutes walks 5 days a week.

It's been 4 months since I lost the weight and I did not gain any pounds back, actually I lost another 5 lbs (I stop taking them after I lost the weight). If you want to take a look here is a website where you can find discounts: http://www.garciniacambogiapromo.com I got them 30% off from here. Hope this helps!

Hi there,
Yoga can be a great friend in every diet. It's all about hormones balance. There are no "bad" hormones. But when hormones get unbalanced, bad things happen in your body. Your body releases cortisol when you're under stress. It's part of the whole “fight or flight” response. Increased cortisol levels could be making you fat. The kind of fat you are most likely to store from elevated cortisol is called visceral fat — the dangerous belly fat that’s linked to diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.

I'm following this great online program that teaches how to use YOGA to lose weight. You should check it out as well. This is the link of the site: http://yogafitness.toptips.org
Have a nice day

Once stretched beyond the limit of its elasticity for a long period of time, skin will adapt by growing to cover the greater volume. There is no way to reverse that without surgery. It is possible that muscle tissue can be developed through strength training and that increase in volume through muscular hypertrophy will fill out the skin and make it less loose. However, muscle building takes years of hard work and it not likely to be of much help for most people anyway. Loose skin is the unpleasant down side of extreme fat loss and the reason the "tummy tuck" and similar cosmetic surgical procedures have become so popular among people with loose skin. Good luck and good health!! ♠

Well done on losing the weight you have...it's never an easy thing to do.
Good ways to stop a flabby belly is by doing sit-ups and swimming. Also you could try an ab-belt. These use small currents to stimulate your muscles

Good luck

It's easy!

There are two forces at work, each imminently controlable.

1. Continue your diet. The fat will shrink! With the fat layer shrinking you need:

2. Muscle tone. Fat gone reveals flab and weakness underneath. Instead, put muscle there. Do crunches, not sit-ups, to tone those muscles. 3 repititions of 20 each middle, left side, right side.

Continue only until you die. Then you may stop.

I will try to keep it simple. Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories to create energy. So the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn calories and the easier it is to lose unwanted weight. To boost your metabolism naturally you just need to eat the right foods.

You can sit down and literally eat a 1,000-calorie dinner and yet be absolutely starving just a few hours later and the reason is simple: Because your body didn’t get what it needed in those 1,000 calories so it sends signals to your brain telling you to ingest more calories and thus, the late-night cravings. That means that the surest way to end those late-night cravings and keep your weight loss goals on track is to eat a more balanced, nutritious diet that actually gives your body what it needs.

It's VERY EASY to lose weight if you eat the right foods. Check out Dr. Charles Livingston's video here: http://www.drcharleslivingston.tv - it will blow your mind.

Firstly, congrats on the weight loss.

Sit ups and crunches (unless they're the same thing) will help to tone up the stomach muscle in that area and your skin will come with it, gradually.

Some gyms and spas have machines that will tone up the skin there.

Lots of walking and jogging will help as will anything that tones up the stomach. Horse riding is excellent and quickly forces your stomach muscles to tone up, otherwise you wobble something dreadful.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/W89qR

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Get started today!
