I want a waist!?

Question

how do you lose weight around your waist area so you actually look like you have a figure?..

Answer 1

we cant choose which body part to lose the weight off - it has to be overall weight loss. your belly is a part of your body it likes to keep its fat reserves.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

You can't just lose weight in one spot. Here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works!
If you want to lose weight, Don't Use Diet Pills. 
They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or
they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the
butt.  It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is
simple. You just have to do the right things. 
 Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that
at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle.
Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of
the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have
25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just
aren't worth the bother. 
 Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that
famine is about to happen and your body will begin to
store more fat to get you through the next period when
food is not available. 
 Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight
without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as
soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two
more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference
the first month. 
 Here's a better way. For every pound of muscle that
you add your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat
every day. That means that just by having an extra
pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of
fat every day! So, add muscle! 
 This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle.
Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days;
squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them
SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice
as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the
muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48
hours which gives the body a chance to make new
muscles. 
 Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the
way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder
width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the
way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle
group you are trying to develop.
The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do
a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest
for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3
times and you're done for the day. The following day,
don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way,
go down twice as slow as you come up. 
 You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk
food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to
7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut
out anything that comes in a bag or package. Cut out
all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more
grains and less red meat. Check out the Food Pyramid.
 If you really want to give your body the best
possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to
infinity2.com and order their weight loss formula and
Essentials for Life. That will give you all the
vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that
your body needs and will keep you feeling better and
healthier. 
 Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need
to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will
feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for
a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel
better and that will motivate you to continue. 
 Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is
impossible.  You can't just lose weight around the
belly, for instance. 
 If you want tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg
raises every other day the way I described above. 
Good luck!

You can spot train but you can't spot reduce.if you want to lose weight around your belly you have to do cardio/aerobics and yes lots of sit ups.You must start a healthy low fat diet.no fried foods! If you stop at McDonald's for example order a grilled chicken sandwich with a salad instead of a burger with fries.Good luck any questions email me I'm here to help.I lost a lot of extra weight in my tummy that way.

You can do it!!!

Answer 4

You must have the "apple" shape, like I do. (Rather than being heavier around the hips.) Generally, apple-shaped people lose fat around their waist FIRST, so if you lose weight in general, your waist should get smaller. That's the one benefit of being apple-shaped....it's easier to lose belly fat than butt or thigh fat. (Which is a good thing, because belly fat is a lot unhealthier than butt/thigh fat.)

Answer 5

Running! cardio is what works for me, it trimmed my waistline, my butt and my thighs. That along with a healthy diet will do wonders. Also, tai bo is a great all over body toner and slimmer.
Best of luck to you

Therefore, you need to lose weight from your whole body. Here is a sample meal plan and a sample workout.
