Putting the fork down.
Pushing away from the table.
Cutting portion sizes.
Some physical activity a few times a week.
As you lose weight (through a caloric deficit), you'll lose waist size. As you exercise, you'll reshape your body.0 -
Hey there! Have you had a chance to read through those helpful posts stickied to the top of each section. There's some great information there, but this one in particular might be a good starting point: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1161603/so-you-want-a-nice-stomach/p10

@missh1967 ^^^^
You can't target where to lose weight, and there is no magical method. Buy a food scale, track your calories, eat good nutrient dense food, and stay at a deficit. Apply moderate exercise (I recommend strength training), and voila, eventually you'll lose weight.0 -

I agree with the above comments but some people say hula hooping can work the muscles around your waist or certain Kettlebell exercises 0

You can work the muscles around your waist all you want but if you're not losing the fat over them then your waist won't really change! So calorie deficit, total body work outs and patience will reduce your waist.0
-
This seems misleading to me. You can get your measurements to change by exercising more. But you probably need to cut calories to lose weight. (Unless you're so close to maintenance that your exercise puts you into a deficit.)0

Exercise....... lift heavy. weights, body weight, etc... and progressively lift heavier.. many lifting programs out there. and NO you will not look bulky.
You also need a calorie deficit.
Above is a good thread to check out. (you want a nice stomach)0 -
I did hula hoop type exercises with dance moves like salsa and belly dance. Lot's of torso twisting. This really helped tone my middle and has given me a more defined waistline. It has not helped reduce any belly fat perse. So if you add these exercises along with lowering your calories.... you should see some changes!0

To lose fat you need to do cardio at least 6 times a week. At least30min each session. Try doing in morning before breakfast0

Weight loss comes from a caloric deficit; not doing cardio 6 times a week (and it certainly doesn't have to be 30 minutes every time).
Doing it in the morning has no different effect than doing it on the evening.
I suggest you read the stickies.0 -
You have to lose fat overall. You can't spot train one area. It doesn't work like that, unfortunately. If it did, we'd all have a 24-inch waist.0

Cardio does not make you lose fat. A calorie defecit helps you lose fat.
Yes, you can increase your defecit by burning more calories, but the way MFP works is that you are supposed to eat back exercise calories.
You do need to have enough calories for your organs and body in general to survive. Eating 1200 calories but increasing your defecit through workouts can be really harmful for your body.IsaackGMOON wrote: »jasminerz2015 wrote: »IsaackGMOON wrote: »Healthexp693 wrote: »To lose fat you need to do cardio at least 6 times a week.

This is also true. Reading the stickies is great advice.

I try to eat the minimum of 1200 and I have lost a few inches by the workouts I do everyday on top of that.0

You don't choose where you gain weight so it is equally choose you cannot choose where you lose it, hula hopping and twisting ab exercises included.0
-
No exercise will reduce the size of your waist. That would be spot reduction and that is not possible. The body loses fat all over, not just from one area at a time. The only way to lose fat is to eat a calorie deficit, but again, the fat will come from all over the body and where and at what rate is determined by your genetics.0

Well no. Calorie deficit is really all that's needed. Exercise is for health and fitness.Healthexp693 wrote: »To lose fat you need to do cardio at least 6 times a week. At least30min each session. Try doing in morning before breakfast

Cardio can help your calorie deficit, as long as you don't overcompensate by eating more than you burn.0
