Just want rid of my buddha belly!!

[natstef]

Hi all, I'm 44 and struggling to shift belly fat. The rest of me is not so bad so I'm lucky. I go to the gym regularly and try to eat healthy most of the time.......however...I work shifts and love a glass of wine or two on a weekend! Trying to get into the right frame of mind to finally reach my goal. Any suggestions welcome

I gave up wine on Jan 1st this year. It was very hard for a couple of weeks, but I did notice my bloated stomach went down, now it's just fat, but definitely different in shape. I bet it would help if you can manage to cut it out.

Morning natstef

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side or at the bottom if your on a mobile. Have a look at the nhs 12 week plan, many members have had success following this plan. Use the BMI checker to work out your daily calorie allowance.

Have a look at the Daily Diary which you can find on the Home page in Events. It is where all the members are sharing their daily plans on what they are eating and any exercise they are doing. This thread will give you some ideas on how to start.

Below the Pinned posts are the Topics where members share a range of weight related subjects.

Take your measurements at the start together with a photo so you can see the changes on the days the scales don't move.

We have daily weigh ins so why not come along and join us today. You can find the weigh ins on the Home page in the Events section on the right. Just click on the post in Events and record your start weight and any loss/gain or maintain for the week.

Have a good first week.

Hello natstef and welcome

I'm not sure anything you do will target the fat on your tummy, but overall good diet will help. I've lost quite a lot of weight, and see the most difference in my midriff, but it's still where I carry most of my excess fat 😕 But overall good diet and exercise will definitely help 😀
