    There is unfortunately no way to spot reduce fat. If it is actual bloating, you may need to reconsider your diet... too much sodium, or dairy if you're lactose intolerant, can lead to bloating. If it's actually fat, then you've got to burn all over, but at 113 lbs I honestly doubt that you've got very much extra to healthily lose! You could try doing some strength training to increase your muscle a bit, and maybe you'll look more toned overall, but just as a forewarning muscle really does weigh more than fat, so you might see your scale number go up even as you start to look better.

    Day 19 of the 30 Day Shred and at Day 14 I had lost 3 inches off my tummy. I'm not overweight either, maybe some toning exercises are what you need. Good luck with it!
