    It does take a while for your stomach to go down. Mine started going down after doing ab crunches. I do about 100 crunches a couple times a week. Drinking plenty of water and watching your sodium intake is also a plus. Good luck!

    Just keep it up. Ive been on a deficit for 5 months, have lost 20 lbs and 5 inches from my waist, but i swear this damn gut is barely budging. It HAS, I know, but like many others said, just keep it up. the gut is the first you put on, and the last to go. Also, make sure your protein levels are high every day, like 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight. This ensures you are not losing hard-earned muscle while also losing fat. You'll get there!

    Bump.
    I've noticed the same thing. For me, it seems like I lose weight from my glutes and pelvic area so I think my stomach just ends up looking bigger in comparison. I am also wondering lately if building up my abs has added a little thickness cancels that ends up cancelling out some of the fat reduction... Can anybody speak to that?
