    The below is a copy and paste cuz I get that question a lot, lol.... hope it helps you :)

    I myself never thought I would be able to get rid of my belly until I read an article which talked about the importance of getting off the floor to accomplish stomach fat burn - at first I was thinking these people are crazy but as you can tell they were right... when you do crunches you are developing the ab muscle but not burning the fat covering that muscle - but I won't get too much in to that.

    So... no matter what exercise you are doing, always and I mean ALWAYS have your core engaged (stand up straight and suck in that belly) - on the treadmill, while lifting weights... ALWAYS...





    Here are some of the exercises I do -cable machine (I am not sure if you use the gym or not) it is the motion what really works so free weights are ok...

    http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/standing-cable-lift
    http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/pallof-press-with-rotation
    Cruches on a stability ball holding a weight straight up over you chest
    Standing side crunch - weight over head as if pulling down to the side as I lift straight to the side the leg of the same side (hope you understand that explanation, lol)

    it will take time to see the results... there is plenty of fat that accumulates to the mid section. Drink plenty of water and if you have any stressors learn how to fight them - via working out, music, what every you have to do - I can tell when i am stress, my mid section blows up immediately :(

    Thank you! I started in September of 2010, so about a year and a half. I actually have been at my goal weight for quite a while, but strength training has made a huge difference in my body composition.

    Still a work in progress! But I love these inspiring topics/posts, and sometimes I take pics just to remind myself how far I have come and to not give up!

    Logging calories, running, and strength training. And most importantly it took TIME! I constantly remind myself of that last one... Haha.

    I agree with TIME. It's so hard to be patient. Pictures, no matter how much you hate your befores, are extremely important. Being able to look at your progress side by side is huge. I'd have given up by now cuz I don't see it looking at myself. I don't feel it. But seeing it side by side I can go "yup, there's changes happening". It's taken me 7 months of work to get what little results I see. I think 2 years will be a good goal time frame for my ultimate goal. Slow and steady.

    I'm always amazed at your transformation, I guess cus you are one of the one's who has made it to where I'm headed. Not to much further for me, but man I love how your waste has the sexy little curve to it heh... Mine has a small curve but nothing like yours, it's hot!

    I haven't done anything in particular to change the belly. I've lost about 15 kg (33 lbs) and do really heavy weight training for the entire body.
