    Standing at exercises & floor if you can. Also swimming will tone and burn a ton of calories.

    Well that is true you can't target where you are going to lose but if all else fails it's a suggestion. It works for some people.

    So it's true, but it works? You make no sense friend.

    I have that pouch also. The doctor said it will come to a point no matter how much you exercise and diet (unless you drain all the fat from your body) it will still be there, even if you exercise all day long. There is only one option for that little pouch below your belly button is to have it removed. Sad but true!

    Just trying to offer suggestions. You are right a caloric deficit is the only thing that will result in weightloss. For me cardio combined with a healthy eating plan (deficit) toning strengthening exercises have really helped me to lose inches from my midsection. Not saying that works for everyone.

    I know. I just want to make sure that suggestions offered are realistic and true so that people don't go spinning their wheels. You lost inches from your midsection because you are in a calorie deficit. Great work :)

    Are you male or female? Have you had children? Have you lost a lot of weight?
    I've had children (one weighed 8lb 6oz) and being 5ft 2 my stomach has stretched.
    No amount of exercise or calories deficit will change mine.
    If I try and go into a calorie deficit I loose weight everywhere else as you can't spot reduce then I look too thin.
    My ab muscles are tight and I do have definition but that being said I can grab the skin around my belly button where it's stretched. I do swimming as it helps with the muscle strength and I also lift. I dont do cardio as I dont want to loose anymore weight. I'm 108lbs. If I eat in surplus the weight goes on my stomach straight away.
    Mines never been flat since, other than surgery (which I don't want) I strengthen my core a lot.
