The key thing about <em>any</em> weight loss and fitness program is to follow the rules. Every person who says that they have tried a diet / workout and it didn't work simply did not stick to the plan. A few cheats, a few days off, a few snacks - and you will not get the results that are advertised! Hi Victoria, either one of those systems will help.

Maybe just give it more time. Do more than 10 minutes on the treadmill, build it up a little each week. Maybe start doing 15 minutes and aim to increase to 20 minutes in a couple of weeks.

Reduce all snacks and if you drink, cut right back. Be careful of non-alcoholic drinks too, like coffees with lots of milk and fruit juices. Read our article on losing belly fat too! Just stick to the plan and be patient. The fact that you have made some progress is a sign that you are on the right track. Hi Alyssa, you really need to do more cardio and eat lean and healthy.

What you need to to is change and improve your diet (eat a <a href="http://www.motleyhealth.com/diet-and-nutrition/basics-of-a-healthy-diet-what-to-eat">healthy and balanced diet</a>) and start exercising every day.

Really though, the key is to exercise more and eat less. Sorry, but that is how it is. Rather than go as low as 1200 Calories, which not limit to around 1800 Calories but do more exercise? You currently exercise 5 times a week - why not more? How about exercise twice a day some days? Also, the diet may not be so much the calories as what you eat. If you are taking in too many low GI carbs (white bread, baked goods, heavily boiled veges and pasta) then you may just be trigger a big insulin response which results in more energy being taken up and stored as fat. You have proved that reducing calories works. So it stands to reason that increasing exercise will work too. Also, if you get fitter those group fitness classes will be easier to teach. Another option would be to look for more fitness instruction work. Some people teach several classes a day.... Hi Tina, great question. Really though, the key is to exercise more and eat less.

Not technically overweight but on the higher end of the "healthy" spectrum. Ever since I was a child, I have always had a stomach with 2 rolls. I never wanted to wear a two piece bathing suit, and even today feel that way with still having this problem. There was once in my teenager years where I weighed 98lbs and I finally did not have these rolls. I think that is a ridiculously low weight and refuse to try to get to that point in my adult life. My middle is the only problem area that I have. I am a group fitness instructor twice a week and workout at home 2 more times a week with weights. I still cannot seem to get rid of the stomach "rolls". I'm tired of hearing "just eat a healthy diet and work out"....because I do! It seems as if the only time I actually lose weight is when I am SUPER strict and cut calories to the bare minimum of 1000-1200, which I don't understand why that is either. That exhausts me, and is also not healthy, so I don't want to go that low with calories either. I of course do not limit myself completely to all "treats" but I certainly monitor it in moderation. I have begun to "clean eat" to see if this helps, but it's so far not shown to change anything.I am at a frustrated point after all these years and would really love some detailed explaination/advice on why I seem to accumulate this kind of belly fat with the healhty life choices I make!?

Read this article on healthy eating. You do not need a "diet", you just need to know which foods to avoid and how to manage appetite better. Zumba is great exercise, but a weekly class is not going to be enough. To lose weight and get fit you need to ideally exercise every day. 30 minutes at home every day is better than 1 hour once per week. Hi Sam, it is vital that you get your diet sorted.

We have many articles on <a href="http://www.motleyhealth.com/fitness/home-workouts-get-fit-and-lose-weight-at-home">home workouts</a>. Exercises like skipping, jumping jacks and squats all work the body well. The key is really regular exercise and healthy diet. Walking is a good form of exercise too, maybe you could go for long walks? Is that allowed?

How tall are you? Unless you are below 5'2'' (155 cm) you are not overweight. Exercise will help burn excess fat and make your body healthier too. Did you read our latest article on cancer? Exercise helps to ward off cancer, even in people who are not very overweight. Mahera, you should just exercise and eat a healthy diet. How tall are you?
