dude you're going to get kaned for that one.

to esquire firstly are you a girl or guy if a girl then it's natural to carry more fat on bottom of stomach (something to do with uterus protection bla bla bla).
Weight loss is gradual. you lose weight at different rates in different its good to be patient. i have heard though that running is good as it helps you to gain muscle evenly so that when the fat's gone your mid section looks more toned.

I'm a guy, I didn't know if the OP was a guy or not. There was this guy i knew in secondary school who lost alot of flab from his belly by sit ups.

Answer - it's normal. When you lose weight, the lowest part of the abdomen is generally the hardest place to shift . It will go eventually though. Besides, much better to be in pretty good shape with only a slight bulge at the lower abdomen, than flabby all over!

You CANNOT lose fat by doing sit ups. Sit ups will tone the muscle but you need to lose fat from the area by having a good diet and doing cardio exercise first as you can have a great set of abs but if a layer of fat is covering them there is no point.

Not if you're eating more calories than you're burning. It may seem obvious, but it's important.

Um, i have had alot of experience in weight lifting, exercise, and sports. And i don't have a clue what your final statement means. Muscle tone? I don't understand.
i had that too. well i guess. and i didnt do sit ups cuz they pissed me off.
swimming does it for you. believe me.
firstly you cant hurt yourself or pull muscles really (like if you run etc).
dont do sit ups. they suck.
plus swimming tones you up allll around :biggrin:
enjoy

It depends if you're male or female -- only women get fat... :biggrin: :biggrin:

But, yes, it's normal
You can not spot reduce fat, and there is no such thing as losing fat evenly. Your body will lose fat to its own accord and you cannto really do much to influence where its lost from. Just keep at it and it youll lose it.

I think it's common to have a 'fat spot' in the stomach area under the belly button. I sure as hell have an I cannot shift it for love not money. I dread to think what it'll be like if I even have kids.
