Yeah I knew genetics would come into play as it's so inevitable. Sucks. I have noticed a difference in my stomach but not as much as I'd have thought/liked at this stage.

Thanks! The same to yourself. That's a good tip and I think I will steadily increase my weights. On my first day of lifting my biceps were in agony. No pain no gain and all that haha

Great information, thanks! I've got the fitness bug right now so it's just as well! Knew it would take a lot of patience. I've also noticed my belly fat has gone from relatively hard to squidgy and it feels like bits of fat has broken up or something, if you get me?

Haha it's fine. Couldn't live with that measly calorie allowance.

Thanks for the insight. I think I'll stick to my deficit and then bulk up after I've reached my goal weight and optimum body fat percentage. I suppose it will just take more time, patience and perseverance.

I read that crunches are only good if you have visible abs. But without the fat loss through other methods, crunches won't get rid of fat.

I see the confusion here. 600 calories a day is ridiculous. It's a deficit of 600

Been on this for around 2 months now and it's worked wonders, eat around 1300 to 1400 a day and I find it really sustainable, have the odd bad craving but I usually feel pretty satisfied (food wise). Nah, haven't done much heavy lifting, started weights only a few days ago.

Ah I see. Would probably rather that than my seriously thin legs/arms. I did read about fat redistribution but I'm unsure if this occurs or not. Lowered my carbs yesterday also, that should help budge some of the fat.

I know that but it just doesn't seem to be shifting from my stomach and the rest of my body is beginning to look slightly boney

Drink a massive glass of water. This helped me with carb cravings on the grapefruit diet.
