How can I lose my horrible big belly?!!!!?

I can relate to how you feel.  At times I get that feeling that my metabolism isn't working and I feel my belly area is experiencing some kind of miscontrol and then I start seeing this belly fat.  Sometimes there is no easy answer, but try to have good eating habits such as eating fruits, vegatable, raw nuts & olive oils, clean proteins (broiled, grilled chicken/fish and eat less red meats, and a lot less junk foods (processed, frozen, etc...read labels).  Drink water most of the time instead of fruit juices, soda (even diet) or alcohol which all contribute to weight gain because of the sugar contents or the so called empty calories from diet drinks.  Try "The Zone" diet (goto zoneperfect.com), you eat normal foods but it's all about portion sizes and sugar level balancing which help you lose weight, burn fat and decrease that feeling in the belly.  Make sure you are getting enough fiber and take a daily multi-vitamin.  Hope this helps.

LOL... OK, first of all, it's nice to meet someone who's that honest.\n\nNow, you just need to cut out the carbs.  White bread is horrible for "belly fat".

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING THAT SIT-UPS DON'T MAKE YOUR BELLY FAT GO AWAY!!! Seriously, you just made my freakin' day, no joke. \n\nYou need a 2-front war, 1 front being exercise & the other front being diet.\n\nExercise: plenty of cardio, incorporating intervals into your cardio training. also do some strength training, as lean muscle mass supports an elevated metabolism. try doing cardio 1st thing in the morning on an empty stomach to capitalize on depleted glycogen levels so that you will burn bodyfat more efficiently. \n\nDiet: drink water like it's going out of style (at least a gallon/day). consume approx 1g of protein for every pound of bodyweight, all from healthy sources such as chicken, fish, eggs (be careful if you have high cholesterol, go for more egg whites & leave out the yolks), lowfat dairy (milk, yogurt, etc), and meat substitutes such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, and other soy-based products (hey, I'm a vegetarian so I get to do some sneaky advertising here HAHA). spread your food for the day evenly across 5-6 smaller meals; make sure you get a good dose of rapid-digesting protein (such as whey) within 20 minutes of a workout. eat plenty of fiber. focus on whole food sources for your micro & macro nutrients. I am NOT a low-carb kinda gal & you will never ever hear me endorse any crap like Atkins, but it is helpful if you taper your carbs off gradually thruout the day. green tea is also helpful, a natural thermogenic. \n\nhope this helps some; good luck! if I can help you any more feel free to send me a message.

Spot reduction does not work.  You need to lose fat in order for your stomache to be flatter.  Keep doing your ab exercises, but also do cardio like walking, running, aerobics, etc.  Don't forget about a healthy diet.

Do massive sid-ups and crunches, starting with 20 and doing 5 more each day. And drink a lot of milk, it helps to lose weight.

You need to tackle it from two different directions:\n\n1.)  Decrease the number of calories you consume in a controlled way - if you crash diet the weight you will loose will be lean muscle. Not only will you put the weight back on quickly but you will struggle to loose it in the future it muscle that 'burns it off'.  \n\nTry supplementing processed foods with more fruit and veg but make sure that you are getting all the correct food groups.\n\nTry the links on this page:\n\nhttp://www.nutrition.org.uk/home.asp?siteId=43&sectionId=325&subSectionId=320&parentSection=299&which=1\n\n2.) Take more excercise.  Doesn't really matter what you do as long as you get mildly out of breath.  Do this as often as you can (at least 20mins a day).\n\nIt a myth that you can reduce fat in certain areas of you body by targeting them alone so don't do loads of stomach crunches at the expense of other exercise - you will just hurt your back.

dont worry! your stomach is just digesting all the water that you took in and you will lose that belly bulge in 2 days or less. its just water and doesnt have any fat.

I agree!!! It's doesn't help you lose your belly. You should really consider doing cardio exercises at least 3 times a week; along with jogging. You will see better results instead. Drink a lot of water too. Try this website below. It will tell you a lot about ab workouts. It help me alot.

to get great abs your going to have to loose weight.  Doing sit ups will never get rid of a fat stomach, it could actually result in a bulkier stomach.  Do 3 sets of 12 weighted sit ups, 2 to 3 times a week, and  do cardio atleast 15 minutes of cardio 3-5 times a week, AND WATCH YOUR DIET!!!!\n\n\nTo get a great butt, do squats.\n\n\nthese are the only answers you need, so get out and do something.

Ok it's pretty obvious that you must be eating too much white starchy breads, and drop the sugary stuff!\n\nalrite :) now to loose it\n\nOnly eat fruits for breakfast, try some green tea ( it is a good antioxidant.. just a little beauty bonus, or some warm lemon water) \nCitrus fruits: vitamin C good for skin\npears: for shiney glossy hair\n\n\n\nLunch: only have a few veggies, carrots, peppers, lettuce, whatever you like.\n\nDinner: small portion... but ur veggies should have the most, then meat , then patatoes. \n\nDrink alot of water and no snacking\n\nTo form your stomach sutff you can do is just practice belly dancing and shaking those hip to your fave music.. it's quite a workout..\n\nsitups, hovering, and more situps, curls and crunches\n\nhave good posture and sumtimes when standing just flex ur tummy and keep it tight.\n\ngood luck!

I have the same problem and Im still working on it. I lost it then but I recently got it back cus I havent been workin out for awhile. But You should do Cardio.. I know that your trying to lose that bump on ur stomach but 20-30min of cardio 3 to 4 times a week help alot. Eat grapefruit as well theres an ingredient in grapefruit that burns fat cells. yay! also take a tablespoon of apple cider vineger before every meal. But most importantly IVe been doing crunches for ever and they only work SOME parts of your stomach. to GET the FULL effect you need to do sit ups about 100-150 sit ups a night... or at least 50-100 sit ups... as well as those backward crunches THOSE HELPED ALOT. i should get back to doing them myself. lol. Hope I helped. Email me in 2 to 4 weeks and tell me how it came out. My results were I lost 2 sizes in 3 weeks... plus 10 lbs and a much toner body... That quickly. lol.

You can run your butt off. Try a fat burner. Or you can eat a butt load of protein and start lifting, it will take a long time but muscle will start filling out the skin, but the skin will also shrink.Congrats on losing the weight too!!!

well first cut out carbs,it seems to bloat the belly and stores fat there.also drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.do not do sit ups right away because it will only build muscle under the fat and will make your stomach look bigger.try walking at least 30 minutes a day and work aerobics in your schedule about 3 times a week.

Eliminate all sugars from your diet and do situps or other stomach exercises. You'll be surprised how fast you eliminate fat!

If you are lazy the only way you will lose it is by liposuction.  you need to get off your ass and move!  Iknow this because I have started doing the same thing trying to lose the same amount of weight.  Clean out your cupboards...get rid of the junkfood, soda, kool aid, etc.  I have restocked my fridge with fresh fruits and veggies, and drink only water and skim milk now.  I also try to get to gym every day....and if I can't I work out at home to one of my dvds.  Good Luck!!!!
