    Hate to doomsayer but like others have said you cant control where the fat comes off your body. Like most im harbouring vast amounts of fat on my stomach and love handles, when I lost some weight a couple of years ago this didnt seem to go down as far as my hips and thighs did. Its ultimatley about getting your BF% down by adding LBM. This is mainly done by resistance training, Im not saying go out and do a billion cruntches this will be counter productive, do a full body split, work every muslce in your body and as you as LBM your BF% will continue to decrease.

    The one thing that you may have to accept however is that las 20% BF my be mainly made up on your stomach unfortuantly thats DNA for you, but dont give up!

    Wrap a towel tight around your belly while you slowly jog 10 to 15 minutes a day; you can gradually speed up as you gain streangth. Listen to music to distract you from fatigue. You'll lose visceral fat around your organs as well as under your skin.

    As they say Ab's are made in the kitchen it's not all about how much you workout. Yes it's about being in a calorie defecit to lose weight, but if you are not eating the right types of foods to meet your macros then you are going to find it difficult to maintain muscle mass and lose fat around your stomach. After 4 months I am seeing a little defenition but not much, I have fat to burn around that area. All I can do is share the knowledge I have had shared with me and hope that some of what I say may help you.
    Eating healthy fats, having low gi carbs around your workout times and high gi post workout/weights, After cardio having protein and fat. making sure your protein intake is set to the right level, and reducing your carbs to cut calories- do not cut down protein. cheat meal- once a week for people who lose easy and once every two for those who have a hard time losing. dont forget about liquid calories, cutting alcohol will help, cut out wheat and possibly dairy to reduce bloating( everyone is different) and eat fiber rich vegetables ( blending them into a sauce could help boost your veggie intake) Also for any help/ info google scoobys workshop and youtube michael kory they are both people who have helped me with their informative videos and recipes.
    Best of luck :) X

    I still have weight to lose, but mine went flat when I cut most bread/wheat/pasta products out of my daily diet. I'll still eat that stuff (because YUM) but I try to keep it down to 1 meal a day and when I do eat it, keep the portions of it down. turns out my round belly was way more about digestive tract inflammation than fat.

    I'm actually thinking when I drop my last 13 lbs I will cut the dairy and grains out for a while. I really don't eat alot as it is and try to eat 100 g or more of protein a day. Also drink a protein shake after my working and eat at least 1/2 an avo a day for my good fats. Along with some nuts or a bit of oil with my vinegar for a dressing. Like I said I do DVDs mostly for my workouts. I stick to a hiit workout and then some different fitblenders toning workouts...I do Jillian michaels boost your metabolism and nmtz at least once a week. Thank you to all the great advice. I think I need to stick to one choice and stick with it for a few months and see if I can see a difference! I'll let you all know how it goes!

    I am convinced that sugar is stored in the belly.

    I've never been able to lose my stomach until I started eating clean. Now my stomach is shrinking for the first time ever. I doubt I'll ever have six pack abs but I'm looking forward to one day no longer seeing a roll either.
