How to lose belly fat!

You saw my tummy photo right? Well for the last few years, i've had this pouch, i hated it, and haven't been able to get rid of it, but how'd i lose most of it? my dancing, just throw on some music that you get the urge to bounce, and even if your sitting at the computer just dance, hold that belly in tight, and dance away, also something i started doing daily since i decided to stop smoking, hook my feet under something like the dresser or couch, somewhere where you can get a good grip and not have to lift those feet, i do it a few times a day, just do sit ups, but remember to keep that back straight, or you'll wreak it, use your tummy to pull you up, don't hold your neck or your back, if you need to your doing it wrong. This helped me too, it's also helping strengthen my back in different areas again, and also by doing twist crunches in the same position is toning my hips in a way i like :P Oh, another way to bring that tummy in, here's something i've been doing for years. Lay on your back, hold something with your hands, above your head. Lift your legs off the floor and up and down, don't let them go too high, don't let them touch the floor. If you feel it in your tummy, your sooo doing it right. Hope this helps hun, it really works wonders on me, since that pic, i've gotten tinier, the way i see it, I'm gonna finish toning these lines on my tummy, i don't want a 6 pack, but the lines on the sides are nice, and then I'll just do it once or 2ice a day to keep it up, and you don't need to change your diet, or even work out for long periods of time, i'm just doing it little by little. Eat what you want, i have never changed my diet, i eat when i eat, i eat what i eat, and i drink what i drink. It's healthier and better for your metabolism if you snack all day every day than it is to eat 3 solid meals a day, so don't worry, i think your on the right track, and don't worry about cutting out coffee either, i drink 2-3 pots a day, and it doesn't make a difference. Oh, if you want something with structure, get Turbo Jam, I bought it months ago, i did it for like a week haha, lost 2 pounds a work out, did it 2ice a day, and i was to what i wanted to be, haven't had to do it since, but now, it's all about the toning.

Ya got to stop that snacking for one thing I got me a tummy too and am having the darnest time getting to get it to go away!. Crunches work sometimes for or tummys lose muscles after having kids

Yeh me too... I grew up being skinny, I hated being skinny, I even went on special stuff to put on weight, but now I am older I wish I could lose some weight, around the tummy is my peoblem too, are we never happy with our selves...

I hear ya, sister! My third baby gave me a belly that I can't completely get rid of. I was always a kinny minnie with no effort, so it really sucks! Cutting out the snacking at work(and maybe chew some gum instead) may help you? Or go brush your teeth when you get hungry-- then you definitelty won't want to eat those snacks! Also, try sucking your stomch and holding it for a few seconds while you're sitting at yoru desk-- that's supposed to help tighten the ab muscles. You sound like you have a lot on your plate and always put your family first. I have been getting up 1/2 hour earlier every day to go get on the treadmill. If my kids wake up during that time I tell them to go wake up Daddy- 5:30 to 6 AM is MY time!

With 22 years seperating my two last children...I know a couple of things about "belly fat"..LOL I find that eating 4-5 small meals a day, and changing my snacking habits to include more fresh fruits and vegetables...plus 15-20 minutes of sit-ups, three times a week, have provided the biggest help for me. I also swim alot...which is supposed to be an all-over body workout. The above suggestion that concentrating on holding your stomach muscles in and then relaxing them has some added benefit...in that it works the muscles to a point but it also reminds you to "use proper posture". Once you get yourself into the habit of sitting with your hips squared with your shoulders and your stomach pushed back toward your spine; it becomes a habit after 30 days of the same activity. I also tend to agree with the response above that stated you can cause many problems by "the crash diet" mindset....usually it ends up having the reverse affect...we "reward" ourselves with the thing we were trying to avoid-"poor food choices". I wish you the very best of luck with this....if you were closer we could exercise together...wouldn't that be fun, my friend???? Have a blessed day!!!
