So I've been working out going on 2 months now and I'm really wanting to know how I can really focus on a smaller mid section. What foods and exercises? I've lost 3 inches on my stomach since may just by food and breastfeeding but I don't want it to stop. I would like to get back to having a 28inch waist.

    No way to spot reduce. You want to lose fat in a specific region you just have to lose enough fat that that region becomes affected. When that happens is largely based on your genetics of where fat tends to come off last.

    So wish I could spot reduce! Hopefully my genetics will come into play.

    For most belly fat is the last to go. For women sometimes its thighs or butt, for guys its almost always belly.

    The way you get there is to continue to lose fat. The way you get a flat phsyically fit look though is by weight lifting, don't expect to have a flat toned stomach just from weight loss.

    I agree with Aaron, my biggest problem area is my stomach but "spot reduction" is a myth. Reducing your overall body fat percentage and keeping in a caloric deficit will help you lose the belly fat. It's an unfortunate truth for us women though, we tend to have to work so much harder on our midsections than guys do. We tend to carry more body fat too :( ugh. If it's stubborn and chances are it is! Then only time and consistency will help , keep at it girl, I'm in the same boat plus I'll be 37 this year so i'ts a whole new ballgame.

    Give it sometime. A few months isn't that long. Take your time, its a marathon, not a sprint.
