I have lost 26lb so far in 2 months, however I still have a beer belly. Is there an exercise that I can do to remove this turtle shell from my stomach. I cycle 20 miles a day 5 days a week and still haven't shifted it..

    you need to lower your body fat percentage... keep eating at a calorie deficit (not too big a deficit) and lift heavy weights and eat plenty of protein to avoid loss of lean body mass.

    There's no exercise that can shift fat from any specific location, you just have to keep on lowering your body fat percentage until it finally goes away.

    As above , but I would just like to add.... try and lose it slowly and the reason for this ( from personal experience) is you don't want too much skin hanging around, you want it to shrink back slowly...

    for lots of people who gain weight in certain areas... first on.. last off

    took me a year or so to shrink my belly 4 " and that was mostly exercise and eating as healthy as I could. Sit ups won't help that much until you have the fat % under control.

    Well done on your weight loss so far (but don't expect that rate to continue!)

    Sadly, there is no way to spot reduce. Your body will sort itself out. Make sure you take measurements at monthlyintervals all over so you can see progress elsewhere - and don't lose heart!
