Right...I have a bit of a belly these days and am looking to lose it quick sharp.

I've started being careful with what I eat and joined a gym a couple days ago so I'll be going there a fair few times a week.

My legs and arms are fine I think, so I'm really just hoping to weight/width from my stomach area.

What are the best ways to do this? (don't just say "eat less, exercise more")


At the gym, I usually either run about 3 miles, or cycle for around 40 minutes, then I do a lot of swimming to help my cardio.

What am I doing wrong? Or what could I start doing to help!?

Sit up's and loads of them. There are many variations of them and ask one of the instructors at the gym for diff verisons. I used to do sports full time and though my belly has slipped a bit now running and sit up's are the best way to tone your stomach.

It's true though!

If you don't already know how to cook, then learn. Best thing I ever did was start cooking fresh food almost every night, helped me lose heaps of weight.

Hmmm. Sounds like you're doing the right thing.

About 10 months ago I started eating more healthily, and all round eating less. You'll be amazed how much less you can eat and not be starving all the time. On average, I eat breakfast, which is usually just as simple as a banana and a glass of juice/smoothie, then just a sandwich for lunch, and a normal meal at night (i.e meat and 2 veg sort of idea).

I was 12 stone in February, and now weigh about 10 and a quarter. I do a fair bit of exercise, swimming and running mainly. A competitive sport is great exercise if you're into that sort of thing - I play football, and seem to have much more energy etc when playing football than just going for a run for example.

How long have you been eating healthily/exercising for? If it's just a couple of days, then I'd say just keep it going and you'll get rid of the excess belly pretty soon

Well I was eating a pretty drastic diet for about a month and using the gym about 5 times a week up until a few weeks ago and I lost a stone and a half.


But recently, I've just been eating really badly and not bothering with much exercise.

Fuck it, it's your winter coat. It'll keep you warm in the coming months

I used to keep fairly trim by doing lots of cardio down the gym, but at the moment my knee is totally fucked so I can't run or cycle, and I have a hernia so I can't do any sit ups or lift weights. I'm expecting the flab to pile on over Xmas.
