    Thanks so much. I dont have a baby lol I may look liek I have one. I do Hope to have one soon :) Thansk for the tip hun
    noooooooo don't give up! I struggle with my mom-pouch too. I saw some good results when I did bootcamp classes at a local park and we'd target our abs 2-3 days a week. You can probably find the same exercises on Youtube /Google. Yes, you'll end up losing everywhere else as well, but you'll also lose some belly too. Stick with it. How old is your baby?

    Ok How much protein is good? and fiber?
    If you are hungry all the time you are not taking in enough protein. Try to boost that and see if it helps you stay on track with your calories. Works for me.

    is tortilas ok to eat? whole wheat? i dont eat bread anymore but just tortilas
    Hi, am new to this but went over your question. I would first suggest, don't eat bread, or food with yeast in it at all. I would avoid all flour, including cups of soups etc. Do this for a week and you will see an improvement. But as has been mentioned to you, you can not spot reduce. I have a problem with a thick waist and big boobs, but my butt is small, so I have all my pants falling off me when I too want to loose my (twin) belly, and I'm 40. I really really wanted to loose it, so I just kept at it. Some would say do lots of sit ups, but that will only strengthen what is under it all, so just keep walking or doing cardio.
    We'll never all have the same body shape, and just quietly if everywhere else is getting smaller, so is your waist. I would try and carb down first. A good way is by doing a protein detox, it last only three days, easy to do, and you will notice a decrease... if you are keen, email me at consultantstace at gmail dot com. Never give up on your dreams.

    You should probably talk to a fitness/wellness professional for some guidance.

    Most people say that for protein you should aim for a pound of body weight.. I personally aim for 30% of calorie intake.. and since I eat 1798 calories before exercise, it makes my protein goal about 134 grams.

    As far as the stomach goes, cardio and weights.. and you'll be good.

    :) thanks. Im not a good runner. I got tiny legs and i get tired fast and my asthma starts but I sure can try. I do Running in place alot would that help aswell?
    Almost forgot, running helped make my laterals seem/feel a little longer, so I didn't look as stout. I'm short as well.

    lots of good advice here, For me swimming makes a huge difference, especially flip turns, great cardio fat burn and I try to watch my carbs after 6pm...

    My bad, I forgot to say a gram of protein per pound of body weight... Thats what that should be.

    While you can't spot reduce, some things help more than others. Studies show that interval training burns more fat, especially from the belly, than going slow and steady. I disagree that you should ban carbs entirely, but definitely substitute whole wheat tortillas instead of regular and up your protein ratio. Stay away from high sodium foods as that will make you bloat and drink as much water as you can stand.
