Cardio is the only way to shift fat. You cant target fat, but what you can do is hit the ab workouts after cardio, this wont target belly fat, but will tone stomach muscles, combined with cardio and you will start to see abs. Add in squats to develope your thighs.

Actually not, and without good workout for muscle gain it can make you lose muscle together or more than fat.

Waist circumerefence is not waistline , Its belly button area all around , my waistline (below waist circumference)waistline pants is 28 x 30 , even a teenage sailor school girl skirt zips up no trouble waist line for the ultra skinny teener that is 14 years old (while waist circumference is gut]

Anyway you want to call I have lost average 38" on the waist because it was in the region as a whole, I have left only a very small pocket of fat uneven.

I need advice I'm 155lbs and I still have belly fat though waist circumference is 36 and a 1/2 but I lose fat in other places but, little bit on my belly , I walk every morning 30 minutes but my poor fat thighs are getting skinnier and I love my thighs :P so I need a new exercise routine that loses belly without affecting everything else , Thank you :)

100 sit-ups every day, but if you're not used to doing these don't do 100 the first day. Get there gradually.

I'd say start by 20 sit-ups the first few days, it will be hard and hurt but after a few days your body will start getting used to that and you can upgrade to 30, then 50 and eventually 100 every day. At that point you don't have to do 100 in one session, do 50 then rest 5 minutes and do 50 more.

Also avoid eating fatty food and drink clear water every day.



Yeah that's not how it works, you lose weight and fat gradually goes from all different areas.

Working out causes muscles to grow and get stronger, so bodybuilders can target specific areas, but fat doesn't get worked when you work out, fat burns due to needing extra calories to survive, you don't choose where the fat comes from. For example people have chubby fingers, they run for a few months and lose their chubby fingers, they didn't go finger exercises to lose them.

The weight will gradually go and the belly fat will eventually follow. It all depends on where your body is decided to get the extra energy from.

Except that it did work for me cause that's exactly what I did years ago. Granted I was never really fat, just a bit too much around the belly. After a few months of intense sit-ups, not only did my muscles down there grow but the fat began to substantially decrease. Maybe this would not work if you're too fat, I don't know, I can only speak of my experience.

Though after a while I simply stopped these daily intense sit-ups cause I realized I was running after something that demanded too much effort and could never be fully obtained. I was looking great down there sure, but at the price of having to do this for ever cause it's not like one needs to do that for a time then one can stop and the fat never comes back. So now I got a bit of fat down there again, not too much, but it's not the near perfect abs that I used to flaunt back in the day. These days I simply don't care anymore.

keep losing weight,belly fat is one of the last weight you lose.



Anyway, it is normal being letdown because at the end of weightloss you will still see the marks of that time you were fat but the best thing you achieved is feeling and being healthy and those looks are secondary,something you can work on but still not the most important part of weightloss.



Don't eat for 2 or 3 weeks and just drink water. It will work, already did it because of a depression.

I do not think the state of mind during a depression is something that you can approve to others.

I don't want him/her to have a depression of course. It just if you don't eat for at least two weeks, it will work for losing weight. I was in depression and didn't want to eat so I did it.
