Stubborn tummy.

ccano

I have lost 17 lbs, down to 128. I am 5'8", so my BMI is at 19.5. I'm just confused why my lower tummy area is being so stubborn. Do I really need to lose more weight? I just seem to have that bump. It's not huge or anything, it's just...there...and it's driving me nuts. What do I need to do to flatten it? Urgh!

I also have the same issue. It's very annoying! :grumble:

I know two things that will help though...

I did a cleanse (Zand Quick Cleanse). My main reason for doing it was to get the toxins out of my system but I also lost about 2 lbs (in one week) and it definitely helped flatten my tummy. The cleanse is all natural, no chemicals or anything. (Vitacost.com had it for $16 as opposed to in the stores for $21.)

The other solution is to just keep at those crunches. I do mine with my legs raised and crossed at my feet. I'm told doing them this way along with doing the actual crunch across your body (e.g. right elbow to left knee) is the best way to flatten out the pooch.

Good luck! I'm fighting right along with you! :flowerforyou:
