stomach problem?
Question:
Answers:
You may want to try doing about 100 sit ups a night before going to bed. Stay away from the frothy type of milk shakes, and also the foods rich in chocolate, creams, and nutmeg.
I remember one time when my former girlfriend had this issue (but it wasn't as drastic as yours is). She wore a 6 jeans and hot. Well, to make this story short.. she and I went camping one weekend, and she decided to bring a pair of sweats. She helped put the tent up, and brought the fishing poles over. She bent down to get a lure that had dropped from the tackle boX. I heard this, "OH MY GOD!". I looked over and she was pinching about two inches of baby fat around her navel. I was like, "what the **** is your problem? You can't scream like that with mountain lions around." She looked at me and said, "screw the mountain lions, look at my stomach".
I said, "you have to be kidding me, right?"
"NO!! I'm starting to look like an apple!"
Well, at that point, we heard this growl off in the distance and few twigs had crackled. She looked at me and said, "what's that?'"
I said, "I'm not sure, did you hear the growling?"
She said, "Yes, but I think that was my fart".
I looked at her, and said, "*****, I think you're crazy!"
She asked me to drive her home. I said, "why?"
She went on to eXplain that she wanted to start doing sit ups and get rid of the tummy fat. We broke up after that day.

you cannot "spot" reduce, when you lose weight from your body, eventually it will come off your stomach, for guys it is the last place for fat to come off.
If you eat less calories then you burn, then your body will use your fat reserves to get energy meaning you lose weight.
Some people have a harder time than others losing weight. Plan out your meals, and not meals without meat. Meals with the right proportions of everything. You should eat some meat. Actually, bread is more unhealthy than meat if you eat the wrong kind and the wrong amount. Anyway, plan out 3 meals a day and a snack for the afternoon right before you go to bed each night. Exercise when you can and stick to the meal plans. Try not to give in to chocolate and dessert and such. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I've heard that if you eat your meal BEFORE you eat your salad, you'll be less tempted to eat dessert. Try that.
1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor in front of you. Lie on an exercise mat rather than a hard floor to prevent back strain. (Image 1)
2. Position your feet as wide as your hips. (Image 2)
3. Place your hands behind your head so that your thumbs are tucked behind your ears.
4. Hold your elbows slightly out to the sides and keep your chin pointing upward. (Image 3)
5. Curl up and forward so that your head, neck and shoulder blades lift off the floor. Make sure you're not pulling your head forward with your hands. If your chin is making contact with your chest, the abdominal muscles aren't being used in the exercise.
6. Pause for a moment. Lift your head up enough so that your middle and lower back stay on the floor. Squeeze your abdominals as you pause. (Image 4)
7. Slowly lower your head, neck and shoulder blades to starting position.
8. Keep your knees bent, your feet in the same position and your back straight throughout the entire exercise.
Tips:
For a more difficult crunch, do the exercise starting with your knees bent roughly at right angles and your feet lifted off the floor 2 or 3 inches. Cross your feet at the ankles for stability. Doing the crunch this way puts more pressure on the abdominals.
For an easier exercise, fold your arms across your chest with each hand resting palm down on the opposite shoulder. Pay special attention to your neck since your hands are not supporting the back of your head. (This method also prevents "cheating" for those tempted to use the larger shoulder carriage muscles in the "hands-behind-head" method.)
For a more advanced crunch, hold lightweight plates (1 to 10 lbs.) on your chest or hold the plate behind your head as you support your head.
Crunch with a twist by curling up one elbow (or side) slightly above the other elbow. This works the obliques - the side muscles of your abdomen.
Do two to three sets of 15 to 20 repetitions once a day. You should see results in 4 to 6 weeks.
There are multiple variations of the abdominal crunch, including pull-down and cross-knee crunches - see Related Sites for details.
Lying on an exercise mat rather than a hard floor helps prevent back strain.
Despite what you may think, commercialized abdominal machines/rollers are not enough to get you solid abs. A "six-pack" results from not only crunches, but also consistent aerobic and fat-reducing exercise (such as running), as well as eating a low-fat diet.
Once your abs are a little stronger, look into ab video workouts and ab machines. They will introduce more advanced exercises and add definition to your stomach.
Warnings:
Avoid using your hands to pull up your head. This can cause serious damage to the neck and spinal cord regions.
One clear sign of improper technique is touching your elbows together when doing the exercise.
If you have any condition that would impair or limit your ability to engage in physical activity, please consult a physician before attempting this activity. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
The 3 Most Effective Stomach Exercises
1: Bicycle Maneuver
Getting Into Position
Lie flat on your mat, with your lower back pressed to the mat.
Your head is resting on your hands with elbows bent and out to the sides.
Raise your head, neck and shoulders as you pull your knees up towards your chest.
The Exercise
Slowly go through a bicycle pedaling motion by pushing your left leg out while at the same time twisting your torso to bring your left elbow to touch your right knee.
Return slowly to the starting position by pulling both knees into your chest.
Without stopping, push out your right leg while at the same time twist your torso to bring your right elbow to touch your left knee.
Keep even relaxed breathing throughout.
Repeat this continuous motion by alternating 5 times on each sides. As you get stronger, alternating 10 times on each side.
2: Captain's Chair
This exercise requires a piece of stomach workout equipment, the Captain's Chair, which looks like a tall chair without a seat.
Getting Into Position
Stabilize your upper body by gripping the handholds and lightly pressing your lower back against the back pad.
The starting position begins with you holding your body up and legs dangling below.
The Exercise
Now slowly lift your knees in toward your chest. The motion should be controlled and deliberate as you bring the knees up and return them back to the starting position.
Do 12 repetitions.
3: Crunch on Exercise Ball
Getting Into Position
Sit on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the floor. Let the ball roll back slowly.
Now lie back on the ball until your thighs and torso are parallel with the floor.
Place hands behind your head (or cross your arms over your chest) and slightly tuck your chin in toward your chest.
The Exercise
Contract your stomach, raising your torso to no more than 45 degrees. For better balance, spread your feet wider apart.
To challenge the oblique, make the exercise less stable by moving your feet closer together.
Exhale as you contract; inhale as you return to the starting position.
Do 12 repetitions.
The Cool Down
Do a lower intensity version of the marching in place warm up exercise, for 3-5 minutes, to cool down your body and get your heart rate return to normal level.
The Stomach Stretch
Stomach Stretch 1
Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart.
Lift your arms straight up towards the ceiling, your palms facing forward.
With slow, controlled movements, bring your arms down to your sides.
Your palms should end up facing inward. At the same time, round your back, bring your chin towards your chest and contract your stomach muscles.
Hold for 20 seconds.
Return slowly to the starting position.
Do 10 times.
Stomach Stretch 2
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Unlock your knees and roll back your shoulders.
Raise your arms out to the sides, to shoulder level and parallel to the floor.
Twist your torso as far as you can to your left.
Try to twist only from your waist and keep your lower body stable.
Twist back as far as you can to your right.
Continue twisting left and right until you've done 30 to 50 times.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
