Hi all. I am sure I am not alone here but ANY suggestions from experience in how to lose belly fat would be WONDERFUL. I started my journey about three months ago (even prior to finding my fitness pal) and have lost a total of 23 lbs. I run a mile and a half a day, use my Total Gym everyday and recently added planks. I have cut out all processed foods and only drink water and coffee in the morning.

My legs are almost fat free with great muscle tone. My arms are about half way there with the fat seemingly melting off. My waistline has shrunk for sure but I a not seeing it improve as much as I would like and it is definitely mushy.

Do I just need to increase my patience? Again ANY reasonable suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind I am a beginner so no boot camp or crossfit. Something I can add to my current routine.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

    yes more patience. unfortunately it's the last place for most of us to lose from. I am still struggling with getting rid of the last bit on me for over a year now. It's hard. You need to do strength training plus have a super clean diet to see results.

    My belly is still a little squishy but the overall shape is a lot flatter. I do pushups, crunches, squats, jogging, and the occasional yoga/pilates routine. These exercises really helped build my abdominal muscles to create a better looking stomach area. Now to really see the results I just have to lose a few pounds lol. That's what worked for me, I hope it works for you.

    Patience is the best practice for this.
    If you have a gym membership, heavy lifting will contribute to it as well. Keep losing fat, it'll eventually come off from your stomach.

    I have lost 11 pounds so far since using my fitness pal everyday but was losing before that so I am up to a total of 26 pounds lost all together. Using my fitness pal everyday really helped me to lose more pounds much quicker compared to my results without it. What I contribute most of my loss to is using the treadmill. I have increased my time, distance and incline as I go and it really has helped sculpt my legs and lose "all over" weight. Hope this helps....wish you much success!!!
