    I like this thread. However ppl with waists under 30 are so lucky, Id kill for a 29 " waist right about now. Ugh I don't really measure anything else cause my waist is my huge problem area. It measures 37" and I hate it! Ugh! I just started working with a personal trainer so I hope to get some of those inches off. My goal right now is a 30" waist that is some serious work for me! I actually bought a beautiful pari of jeans from the Gap on Mothers day that are 29 (which I think is an equivalent to an 8) Im hoping got zip those bad boys up by this summer!

    You sound just like I did back in October!! My waist was 37" and I hated it too!!! So I joined here & have read a ton on these forums which helped me learn. My waist is now hovering just below 30" and today I'm wearing a size 29 pair of jeans! And yup, zipped those bad boys up no problem :p

    A trainer is great, you should learn lots, but start walking... It's free! Walk (listen to podcasts helps kill time) & log your steps on MFP, this site is really great for keeping track of your food. Remember, you'll lose weight by reducing your calories and get stronger and maintain muscle by exercise. Good luck! You can do this!

    Ive been very active on this app for 30+ days, but have not seen much loss overall,specially around my stomach. :(

    Does any one have suggestions regarding belly fat loss?

    Exercises or foods to eat/avoid?

    I joined MFP on April 28 and lost 2 ibs in three days; however, my waist stays at 27.5. My short term goal (before my summer trip) is 26.5; my ultimate goal is 25-25.5. I will share my progress on our forum. Thank you for having me.

    Update May 8:

    Update May 15:
