in Introduce Yourself
Hello everybody, I am Amanda Jo. In the last six months or so I have been very dedicated to losing weight, eating right, and getting the body I want! When I started measuring I weighed 182 pounds and with my latest weigh-in I was at 128 pounds. I have hit a brick wall. I am proud of my weight loss, my diet is at a good control, and everything is getting where it need to be, however, my stomach is taking the longest out of everything else to shrink up. This last week I have been sick and haven't been able to work out. It has really effected me and I feel as though I have put a few pounds back on. I'm not letting it bother me, but I need help.
Is there anything that I could do to help get the flat tummy I am work for? And, is there any advice you all have for how I can stop myself from binging on the bad foods? Just in general, any advice would be great! Thank you all :)

    Hi Amanda, what you have achieved is really awesome!
    I am sure you are aware of this.. But it's good to go thru it again.
    Toned body = eating right 60% + exercise 40%
    Eating right for energy & building lean muscle
    1. Protein ( 30 %)
    2. Carbs ( 40%)
    3. Fat ( 25 %)
    eating lean protein really helps.

    Stick with lean protein - poultry and dairy products
    Lentils, vegetable and fruit, and whole grains
    (I have realised that if I ever felt like eating, just reaching out to the above made all the difference)

    No sugary drinks including packaged fruit drinks and eliminate snaking on bakery products

    On exercise:
    Resistance training plus cardio.

    Losing weight on the stomach is a long process of reducing carbs and strengthens core exercise

    I am avid learner too... Happy to share what I learnt along the way.

    Let me know if you want any specifics

    Best of luck

    These are incorrect. Carbs, sugary drinks, and baked goods don't keep you from losing belly fat.
