Hi Frosh,

You and I are in the similar situation. I'm 32, 5'11, and I'm also trying to lose fat, especially around the belly.

I've been exercising daily... run 40 minutes and some weights. I know I'm gaining muscle because I feel it in my body.

The fat around the belly is difficult to get rid of (at least for me), but I've been shedding a few pounds and I can see my torso slimming. I think I need to lose even more before it'll show up in the belly.

As far as food goes, stock up on a lot of low-carb food and try everything. You don't want to get bored with your diet, especially in this phase.

Over the past two weeks, I've tried so many different things that I would never have eaten and it's great.

I think changing diet completely helps with the weight loss too because it's a shock to the system.

Anyway, good luck.
