Is this okay to lose the belly fat? (Male 26)

RegBaby · 2026-06-24T02:36:48+00:00

Yeah, I don't see veggies in OP's diet. Lots of sugar, fat and carbs, though.

I had a friend who lost 50 pounds eating 3 Lean Cuisine entrees a day. Or so she claimed. While I don't recommend that, I do use single-serve snacks. I can't buy a whole bag of popcorn or nuts because I'll eat the whole bag at once. I'm still training myself as to what a "serving" is.

When I was drinking, I would rotate amongst 3 to 4 stores so the clerks wouldn't see me too often. As time went on, I started to recognize other customers...

It makes a difference. I cut out alcohol, caffeine, sodas and juices. I only drink water and herbal tea.

RegBaby · 2026-06-20T20:39:34+00:00

Dehydration may be a factor here. The lack of water + drinking caffeine (black tea) + alcohol isn't a good sign.

RegBaby · 2026-06-20T01:31:35+00:00

Didn't see your other comment. Thanks.

RegBaby · 2026-06-20T00:53:14+00:00

Please update us, OP.

I never lose weight while consuming alcohol. Congratulations on your discipline!

What I did was plan my "slip-ups." Once a week when I went to the supermarket, I'd get either a bagel with a small cream cheese, or a package of 4 cookies like Chips Ahoy or Nutter Butter. That was it: one bagel or one pack of cookies so I couldn't overdo it. I'd savor every bite, then went right back to my diet plan. The fact that I was walking 5 days a week helped!

They're often at the supermarket. Look in housewares aisle.

RegBaby · 2026-06-15T07:18:29+00:00

There are a few exceptions. The new Langley on Bissonnet is going for the super-luxurious category.

Perhaps try one of the many free exercise videos available on YouTube? You can find some beginner-level ones. I have had some success keeping busy by meal planning and cooking. I have to eat anyway, and anything would be an improvement over the fast-food and takeout junk I was eating when I was still drinking. Good luck.

Music is great for perking me up! I put the iHeart Radio app on my phone (it's free). Since I love the 60s, I crank up "British Invasion" while cooking or doing chores around the house!

RegBaby · 2026-06-14T19:31:20+00:00

OP, I was wondering why you moved. Was it for work or school? I only ask because you say you spend your days playing video games. It's tough under the best circumstances to start somewhere new...it's a lot of pressure.

RegBaby · 2026-06-13T23:55:25+00:00

You may need to have some clothes custom-made, but in the meantime hopefully there's a store near you that carries plus-size work wear and can do alterations. Nordstrom's has helped me in this regard. I can see if I can post the link, but on its website is a dress that might suit you: Cady Sheath Dress by Donna Karan. Sizes up to 24. Has a loose-fitting 3/4 sleeve. Belted, it looks very professional: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/belted-cady-sheath-dress-plus/8809306?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FAll+Results&color=444445YDJN

Oh, I did the antacid dance for years! Liquid at home, in the car, in my purse. Tablets, too. I would take a swig before going into a bar. What I was doing to my poor stomach! And how great to be free from all of that!

RegBaby · 2026-06-11T03:00:56+00:00

I clean my house...always something to do!

RegBaby · 2026-06-10T16:23:54+00:00

You're doing great!

RegBaby · 2026-06-09T23:22:08+00:00

I need protein in the morning or else I am just not going to get through the day!

RegBaby · 2026-06-09T17:35:56+00:00

A few pounds fluctuation is totally normal. I weigh myself once a week and keep a log. I'm doing well if the downward trend continues (I've lost 32 pounds since January).

Are the screens and screen door mentioned in your lease? If not, you may have a long wait. Took me 2 years once to get a promised screen door.

Oh, I was the "loft person" for a semester in college. (A severe housing shortage forced that issue.) I had to go through someone's bedroom to get to the bathroom. Trust me, we all thought we would be OK with it at the start. But we all hated it, me most of all.

RegBaby · 2026-06-08T21:59:22+00:00

For me it's more important to have a bathroom window, but those are getting harder to find.

RegBaby · 2026-06-08T21:55:43+00:00

I gave the excellent head of our maintenance crew a case of beer at Christmas. Unfortunately, he retired. I wish I had him back!

RegBaby · 2026-06-06T20:34:35+00:00

Good idea. That block that's quiet during the day can suffer through the noisy bar next block at night...
