I need to lose something...

[incognito]

My ginormous belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly.
Going to the gym doesn't help much and changing eating habits didn't help much either. Went on a no carb diet for 6 months and all i lost was 10 lbs and thats with doing regular cardio and weights.
Any suggestions?

Going to the gym doesn't help much and changing eating habits didn't help much either.

Usually diet and exercise is the magic pair. With diet, it's not carbs but calories. Learn to count calories. Portion control and eat more small meals a day (5-6 meals at 300-400 calories each). Try to exercise in the morning to get your metabolism going early. You can also try an inverted pyramid style diet (biggest meal in the morning, smallest meal for dinner). Be more active naturally. It is the best way to keep weight off. walk more. If you have the option of taking stairs over an elevator, do it. If you take TTC, get off a stop early to increase the distance you need to walk. If you drive, see if you can ditch the car for a bike or mass transit....

Try Pilates! It works your core almost exclusively!

It is very low impact to start. It corrects your posture.

I feel like I am floating for the whole day!

I felt better after one session than I have with 2 years of chiropractic treatments.

I've lost 10 pounds in the last 2 months. Here is what has finally worked for me: I have a very high protein breakfast, usually an omlette with 2 eggs, chunks of trimmed peameal bacon and mushrooms on multigrain toast. I make 2 open face pieces and split eating them: I eat one early and the other around noon. For lunch I eat just about anything, but I do the split thing again. So let's say I eat half a sub around 2 or 2:30 and the other half around 5 or 5:30. For dinner I have a small amount of good carbs, like a bit of whole wheat pasta and whatever, or even just a mixed bowl of high fiber cereals. I have a very small supper, and drink lots of water throughout the day and I stay very active, lots of moving, lifting, sweating and grunting. Nothing is more encouraging than seeing lower numbers on the scale every morning!

I once dated a guy who was about 300 lbs a few years before we dated. His secret switching do diet pepsi. Not sure if it will work for everyone but it did for him after trying everything else.

Oh man, it is hell to join some gym man, it is just money waste , belive me .
the perfect advise is do some regular diet programms each day and alos have ajogging routine , that is every mornifg and evening .
Also try some free hand excersised that includes streching and also muscle contarctingg.
You see , i am a bos builder , and i go to gym cause of to use the instruments i cannot afford , you can afford runnig , cant you ?

Well this being Terb, I suggest you go with 4 SP's a day, it is great exercise and you won't have money for food. I expect you will lose 30 lbs in a month or so....call it the TERB diet. lol

I found this guy's blog inspiring. He lost over 30 pounds. In my own quest to better my health & appearance, I followed his posts and compared it with my own progress. Not to dispirit anyone, but age may be a factor on how easily our bellies disappear.

Unfortunately for us his journey's over, but his success and story may help (as it does for me) if you need that extra inspiration ~like an emotional spotter.

Weight loss

I lost 50 LBS about 4 years ago droped from 270 to 220. I decided I needed help and joined a weight loss clinic. Not only did I lose the weight I learned how to keep it off.

Check Out Harvy Brooker. His program really worked for me. Plus it is geared strictly to men, which I found comforting. Also there are no skinny guys attending his program just big guys who are smaller know. I am not selling his product just telling you what worked for me.

BTW I am in the older set not the the younger set and it took about 11 months.

This is very hard to believe. You sound like the guys who wolf back 3 Big macs instead of their usual 6 and complain they "cut down" on food.

EXCUSE ME!!! I eat 1 big mac just like everyone else.

Douch bag.
