Does anybody have any good tips on loosing your stomach? :-) I excersie everyday and i carry most of my weight in my stomach. Does anyone have a good ideas or excersise tips to where the stomach shrinks quicker. Or do i just need to be patient. :-) Any input will be great.

Hey that was thinking the same thing this morning. I am loosing weight everywhere else but it feels like my stomach stays the same. I hate that, dont like the way my pants look with this big stomach!

What I've always heard is that the body loses weight as a single unit, and there is no way to focus on a particular area. I know this seems like it could not be true when you find that you are losing weight everywhere BUT your stomach, but the exercise experts still all seem to say that you cannot target a particular area. If you do 500 crunches a day, you'll have six pack abs but they will be under a layer of fat. With the band the weight loss will continue, and eventually the stomach will lose the fat. I just don't think there is any other way.

I have found that the fat melts off from top to bottom. Don't forget your back feeds your stomach. That's what those rolls are...feeders.

I know what you mean.. you loose in parts at a time.. I have lost my boobs,legs.. but still a stomach.. I figured it would go one day..

Unfortunately you cant spot reduce - you have to do lots of aerobic exercise and diet to get rid of the fat on your stomach. Crunches and pilates help heaps since your midsection looks much better when its toned and strong, but like somebody said above, it will be hidden under a layer of fat.
