I have been feeling self concious about my "beer belly". No Im not a constant beer drinker or anything, its just what i nick-named it. If I stick it out all the way im sure i could fool anyone into thinking i was prego! Luckily im getting back on my synthroid (and I know my hubby doesnt care if i gain weight) but does anyone have any suggestions to losing stubborn belly fat?

Are you on any other medications? Because mental health meds can cause that. For example, in my Bipolar support group, almost everyone who is on bipolar meds has a "med gut." beer gut

This is also very hard to get rid of. Increased exercise and less calories. Good luck!

I would suggest an over all healthy eating plan, some walking and plenty of sit ups followed with back raises and oblique stretches..... all three are needed for a firm flat tummy.

i love oblique stretches! Actually i would blame the gut on my zoloft, or on the depo-provera i used to take, but I had the gut even before i took those meds so that excuse dont work for me lol! Im only an occasional beer drinker so i cant officially call it a beer gut either, just plain old stubborn belly fat! Anyone tried the "ab lounge"?
