    I do think it will come with time.. we don't get to choose where the fat comes off first unfortunately. One thing to keep in mind is sugar, it goes right to the belly.

    Tell me about it! I hate my belly so much, it's my biggest insecurity! Unfortunately I can't give you any advice other than what you're already doing, but I'll add you as a friend and we can motivate each other? :smile: Keep up the great work! Wishing you all the best!

    So, I've been exercising and dieting for a month or so, my legs are getting muscular and hard as stone, my arms are loosing fat as well, my butt and my face is looking AWESOME!...

    But - my belly fat, won't change..... In addition, my breast aren't getting any smaller as well. I've always been muscular and heavy build, but I've always had the "apple" form. This means all my fat is centered around my stomach and breast, which doesn't look feminine or natural at all. I really want to get this fat off...

    Shall I just keep exercising like MAD and eat healthy, untill there's no fat to burn on other parts and THEN hope for my stomach fat to burn off as well? or do you guys have any fantastic tips?

    Thank you.

    That is about all you can do. However, if the problem is more body symmetry than size, you can later lift to maximize muscle in your genetically smaller areas to get the overall look you want.

    This is in no way meant to serve as actual advice, but my personal trainer had me on a diet that cycles carbs, and when I was sticking to it, it seemed to be working (I had actually gotten down to about 13% body fat, as a man). Basically, depending on your goals (lean muscle gain, weight loss, etc) you had a certain number of days that are considered "high carb" days, where you can take in as much as 50g or so of carbs a meal (with 5-6 meals a day), "low carb" days where you'd consume about half that much, and "no carb" days when you don't train or do a lot of physical activity, where you'd have minimal carbs (maybe 50-60g of carbs all day). My advice is, if you have a personal trainer, or are thinking about doing so, be sure and ask them for a diet plan that suits your individual goals, because that's what my trainer did. And it worked, until I got too lazy to cook all the chicken and kangaroo (I'm in Australia, by the way) to go with the salads and such. And yes, I'm still working on getting rid of the belly fat to get some abs shining through.

    Stick with it, and you'll start to see the changes, and you'll be blown away.

    Thanks for the great advice. I do see the changes, but it seems shining through badly on my cheeks and my arms / legs. I love this lifestyle though, so I won't change it. I'm happy with eating salad and meat as a primary.
    Kangaroo is fantastic, wish I could live from that :)

    I wrote this on another forum as well, now I'm posting it here - since it's my new knowledge and what I found to be good advices and improvements!

    I think some of the best advices I got, was to avoid salty foods and drinks loads of water (those effect immidiatly, on a daily basis - but are however small changes)...

    In the long run, there's nothing to do about it except for exercise (cardio preferably) and to do some heavy *kitten* crunches - I do both side crunches AND normal crunches. Note, that the strenght exercises DO NOT help your belly getting slimmer, but it will make the structure better when you've burned the fat.

    One of my personal advices, is to "rub" your belly with oil or a water-based cream as well and stimulate the skin. I read this on another forum some months ago, that some actually use this for "pushing" the fat around. I know it sounds damn silly - and I'm sure my belly fat isn't going to my *kitten* or legs, but the rubbing is both nice for your skin and it really did stimulate my body for sure. My skin seems a bit tighter and more proportioned as well.

    (I'm sorry for my horrible english! :( )
