This will help with your metabolism to burn more fat. Maybe with some additional toning they you will be happier with increased fat loss? It can be hard to get the balance right, just continue to focus on health and fitness though and hopefully you will eventually see the results you want. Obviously with winter coming it can get harder to stick to the diet and exercise plan, but do you best. I wish you good luck with it!

I am 26 years old and 5'4''. For most of my life I was slim but gained approximately 20lbs in recent times. I've been in the gym for the past 7 months. I am currently satisfied with my weight, which is now 110 lbs. My problem is- I've lost the weight everywhere else except my tummy. Given my current weight I can't afford to lose even a pound more from any other area of my body. However, I really want to get rid of the fat on my tummy. I know that increasing cardio will only result in more weight loss in other areas. I've cut sugar, reduced my alcohol intake and (though I indulge occasionally in fast foods) for the most part I maintain a healthy diet of protein and vegetables. What else can I do?

I have always had a bit of a pot belly because i ate whatever I wanted, and drank beer about 4-5 nights a weeks. My weight stayed pretty constant for years. I quit smoking about 2 months ago and I gained about 15 lbs. I've stated running for 30 mins 5 days a week, I do between 50-100 pushups everyday, I've started eating very healthy, (low carb, high protein) and I've cut my beer consumption by over 50%. Should I see results or is more required? I’m 36 years old, 5’10 and 213 lbs. I have always had a bit of a pot belly because i ate whatever I wanted, and drank beer about 4-5 nights a weeks.

Firstly, you have to sort the diet out. Get into the habit of planning your meals better and eating a healthy and balanced diet. Cheap food does not have to be unhealthy. Can you swim? If there is a pool nearby this could provide you with the cardio workouts you need and your feet should be fine with that. Then use your weights bench to perform regular weight training. As an ex-military guy I am sure you know how to get on with the weight training, so the important thing for you is to make a schedule and stick to it. As for late night eating - make this the time you do some exercises. Your hunger will fade and you burn more calories. Do other bodyweight exercises too, not just crunches. Squats, lunges, calf raises, push ups and dips are all good and can be done at home. It would certainly be good to find a martial arts class, MMA is good, as would be judo, jitsu or some "Southern kung-fu" styles (less high kicking, so easier on the feet). Hi Shane.

I'm not super fat, just out of shape and a bit of a gut and some slightly fat thighs but I'd like to be around 175-180 lbs so I can start toning my body some. Just a few years ago I was Honorably Discharged from the United States Marine Corps because of a training injury to my feet. Due to this, even walking has become a very difficult task sometimes and cardio via running has become impossible. I'm a gamer and I religiously play a lot of video games so I have become accustomed to being naturally lazy which isn't good and I know this. I'm not a smoker and I don't indulge into food. I do however like to drink soda and water but can easily cut out sodas. With a low income and living paycheck to paycheck, specific food is hard to just purchase because I just buy quantities of cheap and quick foods such as Hamburger Helpers and a lot of meat for cheap. For about a week now, I've been doing crunches before bed until it hurts then I go to sleep. I sometimes eat at night because I usually only eat once or twice a day and I stay up to late hours sometimes. I know I should avoid the late night cravings but I can't sit comfortably if I ignore it. I would also like to take some form of martial arts since I was took mandatory MMA classes while I was in the U.S.M.C but funding is really low for anything of leisure like that. I'm also a full time student at a university online so I don't have to leave as much and waste time commuting and it's better for hours. I have a weight bench, a treadmill (but I can't use it), and some free weights. Is there any alternative methods to getting my cardio up enough to start losing my stomach fat with what I got and current situations?

Basically any stimulant can increase metabolism. However, the exercise and healthy diet should offset any reduction in metabolism caused by stopping smoking. How are you doing? Are you losing weight? One suggestion is to improve the quality of your workouts and avoid over training. If you are weight training 5 days a week as well as running/cardio it is possible that those weight training session are not intensive enough. Consider increasing the intensity of your weight training but only do that 3 times a week. Lift heavier weights, do more big movements like the ones we list on the <a href="http://www.motleyhealth.com/lose-weight/mcd-weight-loss-system" rel="nofollow">MCD weight loss plan</a>. These exercises should be hard and leave you feeling exhausted. Sounds like you are doing great though.

However i do have a sweet tooth, and went for more sugar free choices, if I indulge. I'm also taking 1000mcg of Green Tea extract, a day. Been doing this for 4 1/2 months, and maybe lost 4lbs? Did something happened to my metabolism, when I quit smoking?
