I''ve been working out using an elliptical for one hour three times a week, most weeks, for about 4 months. I don''t really pay that much attention to what I eat, although I do try somewhat to make smart choices.
I know I''m not working out or watching what I''m eating as much as I should be, but I thought that by now I would have lost at least a little bit. I figured working out a little is better than doing nothing. I''ve been eating about the same as I had been before I started going to the gym. So logically it made sense to me that I''d lose a little - unchanged diet, increased exercise. Instead, I''ve stayed the same the entire time - I even weighed more than 135 at one point.
Why is this? Have I just not been working out enough for long enough to make a difference?
Also, generally, what''s the best way to lose belly fat? I know watching my diet is probably a big one, but I love food, it''s so hard. What can I do to keep myself motivated and make sure I don''t eat too much? (I''m a college student so I can pretty much eat all I want when I go to the dining halls and it''s hard to control myself)

Quick Weight Loss - How to Lose Weight Quickly
Recommended Answer:
It can take months to get your muscle tone and metabolic rate up enough to start burning calories even when at rest.
Exercise, combined with a modest reduction in caloric intake (sugar is a big one), should start causing you to lose weight. However, you''re not very much overweight to begin with.
Also, it can take months for your appetite to normalize - after beginning an exercise program, or stepping up the amount of exercise, it can temporarily increase your appetite. This often causes people to actually GAIN weight for a while until their metabolism increases and their appetite begins to diminish.
