Hey,

Does anyone have any tips for getting rid of that minging bloaty, puffy belly bit? Obviously today i had salty food so that never helps, but even when I was thin it was always there, ruining outfits! My stomachs fairly flat apart from that budda belly. Ive tried loadsa water, less meat etc... any help? Thanks :)

    Totally agree....that is such a stubborn area. Everything else seems to be toning up except that bit!!
    Any tips welcome

    I'll always have problem with my lower abs due to 2 c-sections, but.... to help combat any bloatiness, I usually just try to drink lots of water, avoid salty and processed foods, and.... I'll try to drink at least 2 cups of green tea a day to help rid the water weight.

    Diet. Eating clean helps. Limit processed food and eat tons of veggies and such.

    Following a recent pedometer challenge at the GP practice where I work, a colleague joked that her thighs had lost bulk but it's a shame the same couldn't be said about her belly. One of the GP's said that if you walk like you're holding a £50 note (or $50 for some of you!) between your butt cheeks, it's great for helping to tone up your tummy muscles.

    Unfortunately it's not a graceful gait to adopt in public, but I'm sure as hell giving it a go as & when I can, if I remember!

    These are all good, thanks :) its just so stubborn! I actually took a tip from Jordan ( I know) to suck your belly in all the time and it tightens the muscles, now i can feel myself doing it all the time and it does feel like it does something.

    Clean eating and core exercises is what helped me. Planks are one of the best for "toning" up a belly.
