just wondering how long it has taken people to lose their belly with their weight loss...

I know you can not target weight loss and am not looking for those sort of answers just wondering how long it has taken you to get a flat belly and is it truly possible after having a really big belly?

also, pictures would be wonderful if you wanna put in the effort :D

  • The belly will get smaller but if you started at 322, the belly will not go away completely, it takes surgery. Good luck!:flowerforyou:

    I am down 42lbs and only have 12 to go and my belly is still there. I think its going to be the last to go. I am so frustrated with it. But its gotta go sometime right?
  • has anybody tried that fat burning stuff advertised on TV???:
  • I have lost about 10 lbs in a month and 4 inches on my waist so no dunlap ... but still a bit of a jelly belly. cardio is the best way to burn excess fat. i do 45 min on an elliptical everyday.

    I have the "apron" that comes as one gets older. I have been at this same weight before (7 years ago) and was in a smaller size jeans then but now my belly won't allow it. My jeans are so baggy everywhere but my belly won't allow me to go to a smaller size. I have lost 30 pounds and want to lose 13 more to reach my goal. Maybe some more of my belly will shrink.
  • Pilates! Core training...I have been doing Pilates and Core Training for 3 weeks and I am noticing a HUGE CHANGE in my belly. I am now comfortably back in my 16s from pushing out of 18s to 20s...so little by little, I am widdling down. There is a small swiss ball at the store you can get that will make pilates and core training easier or use a large ball...either way, it works, but will take time.

  • I hope I lose mine :(
