Sadly enough, the rule of thumb is, "the first fat on when gaining weight, is the last fat off when losing it". Many people find it difficult to lose fat around the waist, but for others it's the hips and butt (it just depends on where your body likes to store it). BTW - buying one of those "ab machines" you see advertised on TV will do virtually nothing to reduce the fat around your waist. Even if they do exercise your ab muscles, you can't "spot reduce" via exercise...only by reducing your overall level of body fat will you begin to see a change in your waist. For health reasons, you might want to focus on quitting smoking first and not worry about weight loss until you've succeeded. To help beat the smoking, find some type of aerobic exercise that you enjoy (e.g., walking, running, cycling, rowing), and pursue it. The good news is that when you quit smoking and start exercising, you'll find yourself making dramatic gains in fitness within just a few months. Those gains if fitness and feelings of strength really helped me to (finally) quit smoking for good. When I first quit smoking, I would get tired after riding my bike for 4 miles. Within a couple of months I was riding 20+ miles of hills without getting too tired. That was 10 years ago, and now I ride 3,000+ miles per year, and weigh about what I did back in college (in the late '70s). GG http://www.WeightWare.com Your Weight and Health Diary |

How old are you? Male or female? Hormone changes tend to move fat collection to the
waist as we near or pass 40, and the old methods we used for speedy loss aren't as effective anymore. Also, stop freaking out about it -- cortisol (stress hormone) also contributes to holding on waist and stomach weight. You say you don't keep up with exercise like you should -- well there's a good start right there. My personal mantra (I made up) is Committed, Consistent, Patient, and Persistent. How many of these adjectives fit you? Mary M 325-160-148 "Healthy Stealthy ;" wrote in message om... For years I have been trying to lose inches off of my waist! BUT IT JUST IS NOT HAPPENNING!!
