YES! It's my mission in life right now, so I can share the things that have worked for me.
• Cut the simple carbs (potatos, rice, pasta, corn, bread, and sweets). As we get to be over *ahem* 29 or so, our bodies don't process these things very well and they get stored as fat. More specifically, as belly fat, behind the stomach wall. Beer bellies are made from the simple sugars in beer... This one thing has helped me more than anything.
• Although spot reducing doesn't work, firming the abdominal muscle does help to shape the belly. I'm currently getting great results from Shiva Rhea's core workout CD. Maria, you'd love it, it's sort of yoga fusion, but it's brilliant.
• Another thing that's working well for me, with all-over weight loss, is not eating at night. It's brutally hard for me, though, I'm a nocturnal feeder by nature.
Anxious to read what others have to say on this topic!
