I've lost a significant amount of body fat (31% to 20%)and I still have a small pooch. (maybe 5-10 more pounds?) strength training is what's worked for me. Ps try the 30day shred?0

I think doing the BUMP must be the belly fat answer..
From the responses,I think the BUMP is what got us all in this shape0 -
omg! WTH is BUMP???
That's not actually what it is :P
When you "bump" a thread you bump it up on the most recent posts. That way if you start a thread it stays on the front page/active threads.
The definition of BUMP is "Bring Up My Post"

It is very difficult to have a flat tummy once they've cut into the muscle. You can get flatter, but it's just difficult to get rid of the whole thing. But if you ever do I want to know about it. lol I have the same problem.0

Ok so really, aside from bump - I've never had the "pooch" till this past year of taking meds so I've been heavy on crunches, planks, squats, and pilates. This is working. If I eat pasta though it comes back for that day Pasta/refined flour/ carbs are MY enemy!0

I still have some belly fat but I can really tell a difference since I've been doing more core exercises. I have see the best results with what my trainer calls Core Drags; the link above refers to them as Alligator Drags. They are hard as hell when you first start doing them but they really produce results! I can actually see tone and definition in my abdominal section since I've been doing these during my workouts.
Alligator Drag
Why it works: This ab toner uses your entire core to keep your body stabilized and burns additional calories by adding movement (dragging yourself along the floor). It mixes cardio, stability, and strength training to get you fast results.
How to do it:
Find a stretch of floor that allows you to go forward 10 to 20 yards, and grab anything that will slide over the surface with minimal friction. Dinner plates or plastic bags might work on a carpeted floor, while towels might work on wood or tile. (if you’re outdoors, a wheeled device like a skateboard works well).
Start in push-up position with your feet on the slides, towels, or plates. (NOTICE: Straight line from ankle to knee, to hip, to shoulders. No hip dippin’)
Walk yourself forward with your hands to the end of your runway (aim for at least 10 yards). Rest and repeat the alligator walk backwards to where you started. That’s one set. Repeat 2-3 times.
Tip: walking yourself backwards uses a different part of the muscle. If you’re short on space, you can also move forwards & back (6 paces forward, 6 back etc.) instead of doing the paces.
Fit It In A Quick Workout (15 minutes)
1 Minute Cardio (alternating jumping jacks, high knees & squat jumps)
1 Minute Lower Body (alternating reverse lunges, isometric squat & side to side lunges)
1 Minute Alligator Drag (back & forth, or doing the paces). At your own pace.
1 Minute Cardio (alternating jumping jacks, high knees & squat jumps)
Rest 1 Minute & repeat the circuit 3 times. (alternate your cardio/lower body option each time you go through the circuit).0 -
