Not losing weight in my stomach

NiqueKristan

Hi all!
I've lost 15 pounds so far. My stomach is the most prevalent fat area and I seem to be losing everywhere but my stomach. Would core exercises help, or extra cardio? My diet is clean and I drink plenty of water.

I'm feeling ya. The tummy area is usually the last place we lose the flab.
You can't spot reduce, fat will come off from where and when it chooses

A calorie deficit is what will help. As Christine said, you can't spot reduce. Some places are genetically predisposed to carry your fat, and it will come off as it comes off everywhere.

Unfortunately, you can not spot reduce certain areas of your body. The fat comes off where it wants to, when it wants to. Eat in a deficit until your body fat is where you want it to be.

Congrats on 15 pounds! That's excellent! By my understanding (and if I'm wrong, I urge someone to correct me), targeted exercise will firm up muscles in a particular area, but fat is a whole body experience. Reducing body fat in your stomach also reduces fat in your butt, hips, chest, arms, etc. Anything that says it can target fat burning in a particular area, such as thermal or herbal wraps - even liposuction - is a quick fix and whatever reductions you see today will come back as things settle back into place. Be patient, keep working, and it'll come.

have you taken measurements to be sure you haven't lost in your stomach? my thighs were my problem area. they still look big to me at a low weight, but i'm pretty sure i lost a lot of weight in them. they are just big compared to the rest of me.
