I'm right there with ya!! I am down 20lbs and am noticing that the belly is going away slowly but surely. Clean eating, I try to stay away from dairy and things that bloat and I'm 20 days into an ab challenge. It's working!
This was at about 235. I looked about 7 months preggo.
This was monday at 213 lbs. I still have a long ways to go but the belly is going!!
Great job!0 -
This is my progress so far.0 -
you are all an inspiration...keep up the good work...I'd like to see more pictures later when your all done0

This is my progress so far.
You look great for weighing 207!!! CONGRATS!!! I can only imagine how fab you will be at your goal weight!
Oh and I too am having the same problem. Looks like this jelly belly will never go away. Grrrrr!!!! And worst off I keep hearing that the stomach is the last thing to go. :sad:0 -

Thanks for sharing! I had a c-section a little over two years ago as well and I'm SICK of everyone telling me to just give up and get a tummy tuck!0

Clean eating is key! If you look at your actual food and not just calories, this will be a huge help. I have lost weight and gained weight over the years. My long term success was seen with removing most processed foods and limiting dairy and gluten from my diet. Yes, this is restrictive, but it is doable, and it not only makes you loose all over but it is much better for your gut.
The Flat Belly Diet is a great book and so is The Mediterranean Diet book. They both give you real food options0 -

take pictures, even if you don't *think* you have made any progress.
I really didn't think I had made any progress since I had only lost a few pounds...My friend posted a candid of me on FB. It was horrible and I wanted to cry...but then I decided that just for giggles and grins I would take my OWN picture of myself in the outfit. I thought I saw a difference! So every week or so for the last month I have taken a picture in that outfit. I am not good at posting pictures here, but you can check my profile--there is only a 10lb difference between the first and the last picture.
I don't have PCOS, but I DO have IR. The most progress was made when I reduced my net carbs to under 100g per day.0 -

Well this is where I started at...
As you can see, I carry almost all my weight in my tummy. BLAH!!
But it's shrinking....
This was taken June 7th 2012 ...weight 157lbs. I am 5'10
My first couple months I did the elliptical for 45 min to 60 min at least 5 days a week, then I added Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred and I started seeing definition. But unfortunately, I suffered a bout of Achilles Tendonitis which has taken months to recover from so I am just now getting back into working out again.
Now I do mostly Strength training with hand weights and my ab workout and only a little cardio which is my elliptical.
What a difference! I can see it on your face too, and that's the second place I carry my weight!!0 -

You look really fit! And happy to hear about your friend.take pictures, even if you don't *think* you have made any progress.

Good point, think I will take some pics of the big belly on me to see if I can see any progress in the future.0
