lil one said:I went to see Dr. Latin over at the VILI clinic, and I honestly have to say, she’s just incredible...👍

I had my first checkup with her too, and man, she is seriously brilliant..👍

But honestly, it really just comes down to the individual since everyone's metabolism works totally differently, though I'm sure any doctor you ask will tell you running is the way to go if you want to drop weight, even if sit-ups are mostly just building muscle.

👋

Anyway, you aren't going to see those results in just two weeks, so she'd probably be better off watching what she eats and hitting some crunches to tone up, because while running does help over the long haul, we're talking about a serious time commitment here, especially since the whole thread started with wanting to lose three pounds in two weeks or 🤔
focusing on getting that toned stomach 🙄

Says:
jogging is what really burns the belly fat, while sit-ups just help tone the muscles underneath without actually hitting the fat layer😉

I’ve gotta disagree there, honestly, 'cause I know plenty of runners out there who still carry a little extra around the middle🙄
and as for whether sit-ups burn fat or not, I feel like it all really just comes down to how you're doing them and how much effort you're putting in

Maria Kelly6 said:Honestly, my weight loss journey is looking pretty hilarious right now; I spent three hours wandering around downtown today, followed by a massive plate of pasta, and then just crushed a long workout late last night. 2.5 miles So I went out for a little jog and then immediately sat my butt down to demolish some cream pie and peach cobbler, so please don't go telling me I'm anything but totally normal...
If I can't even crawl out of bed tomorrow because my muscles are absolutely wrecked—since, you know, I haven't run a single mile in months—I am totally blaming Creamy!

Look, honey, you might end up with some killer legs from that workout, but don't expect your stomach to suddenly flatten out overnight. 🙄

People totally fall for this myth that you can just go wild on the food after hitting the gym, but honestly, you'd probably see way better results if you just focused on working those abs for once.

Maria Kelly6 said:The issue is I've got this nasty cold and a sore throat, so I'm basically just spooning honey to feel better, which isn't helping with the weight gain at all.

Honestly, honey isn't even that big of a deal as long as you aren't going overboard with other sugary stuff, plus it’s actually good since when you're feeling under the weather you really need to stay hydrated and stick to things like chicken noodle soup, so maybe just watch your dinner portions and hold off on any fasting until you're back on your feet.
but if you mix in plenty of fruit and try just liquids for a single day, it really helps clear everything out and flattens the stomach, and honestly, that bloating might just be from your digestion being slow, like what you mentioned earlier.

Maria Kelly6 said:thanks. honestly, I don't even need to fit into a dress, just this skirt that sits on my hips, so that part's fine, but my stomach is just so bloated right now and it looks terrible...
and yeah, that's the whole issue.
I tried those timing things during my period, but I hadn't heard about doing it right before or after, so let me go check when my cycle actually starts..

well, I just kind of started doing that on my own because it seemed like a good call to not overdo it the day before or after, and if you're really trying to slim down that tummy area, honestly just skip dinner altogether (I mean, if you can skip dinner, you might as well start that right now), but having your last meal by 6 PM really helps a ton since dinner is usually what causes all that bloating, plus everything those other girls mentioned—like eating smaller portions more often and getting some walking or jogging in, maybe even some core workouts and all that works too
it really just comes down to how much time you've got and what kind of results you're looking for

if you’re just trying to drop like 6 pounds so you can squeeze into a specific dress or some jeans, honestly, that monthly detox thing works pretty well—basically, on your period, you just stick to liquids all day, but if you stretch it out over three days by having nothing but fruit in the morning and then just staying hydrated for the rest of the day before and after, you'll definitely see results, though it won't exactly last forever
