I have started to build a website and the first page I completed was all about this issue. I wrote about cortisol which is what makes your belly fat. Like everyone else has said you can't reduce fat in one area but there are things you can do to try and speed up the process. Sleep is one of them, are you getting a good…

congratulations!! You are looking terrific, won't be long til you reach your goal weight now!!

175 pounds!! wow!! makes my 129lb loss look a bit small :) I think I still need to lose about another 30lbs which would put me in the healthy weight BMI catagory. I am having the loose skin issue at the moment but I think it is reducing slowly. I need to really get going with the weights now I think. I have now lost 129lbs…

I don't believe in dieting, I lost my weight by cutting my portion sizes down and exercising regularly. So my message is fairly simple. There is no such thing as "cheating" you can have food that is high in calories but I would only have it once maybe twice a month. It also depends on how many pounds you want to lose. So…

Don't even worry about it, think of it this way, you have made a terrific start and the rest will follow. I did a similar thing myself after I had lost my first 50lbs and was dissapointed that I was still a size 46 waist. I put the clothes back in the suitcase and forgot about them. 3 months later I tried them on again,…

thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments:smile: Splitting up was the wake up call I needed to get my life back in order. Now I am happier, fitter and healthier with a new lease of life. I am doing things I never thought I would ever do, never thought I would be able to jog for 20mins without stopping. My future…

I was advised to aim for 1litre of water for every 50lbs of weight just to clear out all the toxins from your body. Which is fine if you weigh around 150 lbs. If you have been monitoring your food intake for some time then I would say about 2litres a day is a good level to aim for. I get through more on the days I go to…

wow!! you look fantastic congratulations :smile:

I used to eat the takeaways a lot about 4 or 5 years ago, I would finish work and take the wife and kids to burger king, I would have a whopper meal, larged up and 2 cheeseburgers, then finish off everyone elses left overs. Then work stopped and I replaced take aways with cider and cheap ready made burgers & pies. I…

I love the qote at the bottom of your page Ben, "Do or do not, there is no try" says it all really

great to hear that, fitting back into clothes or finding that things are starting to get baggy is a great feeling. I have managed to fit into a size 38" pair of jeans for the first time in about 15years so I can understand how good you are feeling :smile: I am hoping to start learning how to dance at the end of the month…

thanks have sent friend requests :smile:
