Question

i did lose weight but not in my belly area

Answer 1

Too much stress

Answer 2

I do not know your age, so that makes it difficult to say for sure.
Depends on how overweight you were. Fat is easy to put on, and very hard to remove. You never lose the cells that fill with fat, unless you have them sucked out.
The longer you carry fat, the harder it is to get rid of, age has a lot to do with it as well.
Stomach crunches, Leg lifts( not lift and let down, but lift and hold at about 6 inches from the floor, hold as long as you can), this only tightens the muscle.
You must burn fat. That means, stop taking in Starches and Sugars and Carbs.
That tummy didn't appear over night, and isn't going to give up easily.
Jogging in place works well, when done with the other exercises.
Anything that will cause the stomach area to move, will cause fat burn.
Hold your stomach in, and keep it tight, at all times(when awake). That works to help tone the muscle as well, plus it burns fat.
Just give it more time, and don't give up.
Some of it could be Genetics.
Cut down on food intake, stick to high protein foods, replace starches with green veggies.
Most of all, hang in there.

Answer 4

cuz thats ure problem area..everyone has one depending on their body shape. try this plan-

Rule of thumb for weight loss: Diet= 70% exercise= 30%
Great 7 step plan to follow for LASTING and healthy results:
1. Awareness of what you eat by keeping a diet journal to see where ure going wrong
2. Best cardio is running in terms of weight loss. You should be doing cardio minimum 4 times a week 30min.-1 hr. Weight loss heart rate range is one where you can carry on a conversation w/o a big struggle.
3. Resistance program to help firm muscles and give a pretty tone (u can't spot-reduce- weight training results per individual body part will only be visible after the fat layer is off from the cardio)
4. 3 meals/2snacks per day: high fiber/ high protein helps keep you full and eat low carb unless its good complex carbs like salad and fruit and whole-grain bread. Bottom line: eat the natural foods our ancestors ate, no processed junk. Also when you eat this way you dont need to obsess over counting calories- so many better things to occupy your time with, like reading! A clever mind will take you farther in life than a beautiful body :) And no diet sodas- the fake sugars actually make ure body crave more sugary stuff. Stick to tea and water and never bring bad foods into your house.
5. Americans in general want things QUICK and easy, we are impatient- you must be patient in terms of your results and never give up. Additionally, this is a LIFESTYLE change for LIFE: There are NOOO get-thin quick schemes, PERIOD. If u abuse your body u will ruin your metabolism and in the future u will gain weight MUCH easier than today. Diet pills will kill you as quickly as they helped kill Anna Nicole Smith. They are no better than drugs so don't take the cheap lazy way out.
6. Weigh yourself once a week, never more often than that but get all measurements- waist circumference, body fat %, muscle %, water % (there are good digital scales that do this) b/c u could be gaining muscle which weighs more than fat or be full of water and be like- why the heck wont i lose weight! and then binge on donuts :) no no no! and reward yourself when you make progress! make it fun or else you'll quit sooner than later.
7. Drink min. 2 liters of water per day and whenever you're stressed- take DEEP BREATHS rather than reaching for food. This is why people lose weight doing yoga I think. Oxygen is so important.

You can do it! Good luck, keep a positive attitude, and never give up! :)

Answer 5

That South Beach Diet is supposed to be good for losing belly fat. It is mostly protein and no carbs.

Answer 6

Do more situps, crunches, etc. If you work out a specific area and maintain a reasonable diet you should have results. However, fat in the stomach region is highly persistant and as the abs do not make up a large portion of muscle mass, it is slow going.

Answer 7

Hey, i have the same problem with you before. If i were you, try some sit-ups every morning or before closing your eyes to sleep. Just try up to 20 for the first time, then increase your count on the following week. You will see a result. Good Luck!

Answer 8
