    People are undoubtably going to post in here giving you miracle cures to belly flab: eat 12 bananas a day while doing situps in a chicken costume and listening to motivational speeches backwards.....:yawn:

    It's all crap! Keep doing what you are doing and eventually all will sort itself out :wink:

    You mean the chicken costume doesn't work. Well hell!!!

    I sure hope I can get a refund on the chicken costume! Damn the luck!

    can't spot reduce, just maintain a consistent caloric deficit and it will eventually be lost

    Look at his abs, i would do whatever he says

    This is correct. I have lost 160 pounds and pretty much the only area left with fat is the belly. Oh well, it keeps getting smaller. Eventually it will be gone....I hope. lol

    Apparently-- my unclean eating, though on a deficit, has hampered my ability to get rid of the remaining lower belly and skin fat layer.

    You misunderstood. The deficit was key. Thus, you made them in the kitchen ;-) (and you look fantastic of course!)

    I now believe in beer guts! I love drinking good beer; as in porters, stouts, IPA's.. the stuff you don't find in typical restaurants and small bars. I gained my 15 lbs from beer and the food that went along with it and it seems my gut is where all the weight went. I have also "heard from someone that heard from their DR" aspartame causes belly fat, or at least makes it harder to lose belly fat. Is this true? Most 0 calorie flavor waters or packets have this in it. If that is hindering some of the belly loss I will nix that in no time.

    personally zumba has worked for me. ive dropped 20 pounds and went from a size 14 to 4 doing it and some of my belly is still there, ive had a child so that seems to want to stick around, but a lot of it is gone.

    Like everyone else has said " great abs are made in the kitchen" that meaning look at your diet. how much processed foods are you consuming ? sodas, beer cereals etc you get the idea. maintain a well balanced diet fruits, veggies lean proteins and a good work out plan. I personally have done P90X and I am half way through Insanity. it's not an easy road, put in the hard work and there will be lots of rewards ! I started at 228 wearing size 38 jeans at the start of the year. now i wear a size 34 ( think i could get into some 33's though ) and I weigh 196. good luck and like the others have said you can't spot reduce.

    it's cardio and nutrition Jillian. EAT a clean diet - cut out all the processed crap - sugars, bad carbs = If it's white, it ain't right.

    how much of a calorie deficit should it be? i eat close to 1700 calories a day, maybe more, and my tummy is definitely my trouble area..
