belly fat putting up a fight. HELP

[Kabeetz]

Dieting is dieting bro... and whatever works, works. But if you want to make the leap into weight training and muscle building... that's just not gonna be enough.

As for milk, YES, it has a positive impact on skin elasticity.

someone go ahead and call bullshit for me so i can put it behind me. like i said earlier, i have done some research on this topic through the pageant sites(beauty freaks) and they swear by it. there is even a piece of equipment designed to do it. while laying flat with your stomach on a roller that is slightly elevated you hold the handles and pull back and forth. by doing this you put all your body weight on the roller. the thought is that the pressure on the fat cells will cause them to rupture and be absorbed back into your system. it warns that if your too overweight the amount of fat that you would send back to your system could be damaging to your kidneys.

i know that its probably shit but it was an interesting read.

i feel your pain. i was 230 at 5'5 and got down to 155 in 8-9 months, and a year later i weigh 170, but i look at lot healthier then i did at 155 but i have the loose skin right below my belly button, i talked to my doctor about it and he said it may never become tight again because of being big for almost my entire life, but i plan on proving him wrong

good for you mike. i was only big for about 6 years but thats 6 years too long. congrats on the weightloss. not everyone can tell that story and it be the truth. i know what you mean by looking healthier at a heavier weight. at 145 people said that i looked sickly. believe it or not i am actually smaller at 165 than i was at 145.

Well first of all amazing job with the fat loss. With a bowflex and an almost starvation diet I was expecting something almost skeletal to show up in the after pictures but you look great.

My suggestion would be to join a regular gym when you get a chance and focus on building some quality muscle through progressive resistance freeweight training.

Never tried it before but a lot of people on this site use to swear by yohimburn for topical spot reduction of bodyfat. Thiomucase has been around for years in the bodybuiding circle to help tighten skin and reduce the appearance of extra bodyfat as well.

And do you have a link to that fat loss roller machine? lol I remember seeing old black and white pictures of people using them in the 30's. I can't believe they're still around today. Would love to read their references. Great marketing is most likely what it is.

Best of luck with your continued progress.
