    You can't spot reduce. Fat will burn off where every your body decides to burn it. For some, the belly may be the last to go. Do cardio and make sure you are eating right with lots of belly busting foods. Greek yogurt, avacoda, nuts..... and so on. Keep up with the weight training because that muscle development under the love handles will continue to burn the fat at rest. :)

    If you can't spot reduce, how are there belly busting foods? :noway:

    Maybe she means belly busting as in make your belly bigger, like big macs.

    My thighs have always been the hardest and last place for me to lose fat. My upper body was always first to go to my disappointment.

    This past time I was shocked when the fat comes off my legs first for the first time ever and upper body lost last.
    The only thing I changes with my workouts is I lowered the intensity and did power walking instead of running. MAKES No since to me but changing what I was doing changed where my body burned fat first on the large scale not small. Well that is the only reason I can find because it was the only thinh I changes so are they related? I will never know.

    I think what all the smart *kitten* people above me are trying to say is...

    YOU CAN NOT SPOT REDUCE.

    Lift heavy and eat right.
    Actually you can...there are studies.

    Studies SMUDIES!

    Fact=Fiction

    Studies are what we do to find facts but they don't become them till we do so taking them all as fact till we do is not something I don't do and that was the point.

    I like how every 10 posts or so there is someone who either:

    1) Did not read any of the thread
    2) Is too dense to catch on

    Angry Pirate is by far my most favorite thing to suggest for people to do with their significant others. Well, that and the Philadelphia Fake-out.

    *kitten*? It's been working for me.

    Sadly, reducing the wrong area - speaking only for myself...

    It is best to do 30 mn of cardio exercise about 3 times a week and 2-3 days of lifting weights and toning. You can't spot reduce. I have lost a lot of belly fat with just eating healthy and then I lost some by exercising and unintentionally losing a total of 19lbs.

    Also it doesn't matter what time you eat as long as what you eat is healthy.

    Ambidextrous *kitten*. It's the only thing I found that works.
    My left hand is sadly weak and uncoordinated.

    Oh that is like having grandma over isn't it?
    no my grandma is a pro :bigsmile:
