Mentioned previously ive lost 9.5 stone. But going through a really tough stage where I can physically feel and see my legs.arms etc toning but having issues getting rid of the belly fat. BTW I was an incredibly fat fker so theres still plenty to lose but just cant seem to shift it
Doing 2 x 30 min PT weight training sessions Walking etc. Food side of things all good
But guess question.. do I just keep doing what im doing and eventually the body will start concentrating on the belly or do I need to do some specific cardio around my weight training PTs.
There is no magic exercise or food that can target belly fat specifically. There's no point in punching in loads of sit ups and ab crunches now, it won't make a difference to the fat. Men in general lose fat faster from their legs, arms, shoulders, chest, typically in blokes, belly fat comes last from that.
Keep at it, and if you're struggling, maybe up your daily steps by 1,000 a day or reduce calories by 100 a day if you want the peace of mind that your defecit is still good.
And congratulations on losing 9.5 stone, that's a mega achievement.

The first 3 mins in particular from this video are great to explain the science behind it. Also recommend Jeff Nippard, his videos are great and all science backed.

Yep. What he said.
The belly is always the last place it goes. Stubborn bloody area.
Can't offer advice as I'm obese myself but wanted to congratulate you on a massive loss! Well done, I'm sure hard work and commitment has been rewarded!

Oh and to add to my above

Ended up buying one to use on the ship in Singapore.
Just using that and a calorie deficit I dropped 6kg in January.
There’s some research behind the use of a weight vest that basically says it causes your body to think it’s heavier than it is, and it reacts accordingly.
Increase your weight training to 3 sessions a week, push pull legs is my preferred split, it lets me get in and out of the gym in about 75 minutes.
Carb cycling is also something I use, carbs on heavy training days and low carb on rest days.
Theres also the incline treadmill walk, 3.2mph at 12 incline for 30 minutes. It is surprisingly effective.
Feel free to send me a message and I can send you the excel sheet I made for MarkTWTD who dropped a significant amount of bodyweight and got in the best shape of his life.
Well done on your loss Your body has become accustomed to your current fitness regime so you need to mix it up,more sessions,different exercises etc maybe exercise before breakfast if possible, surprise your body!

I’ve got a 10kg weight vest at home.

The fatter you are, the easier weight is to lose as it’s easier to be in a calorie deficit ( eating less than your body needs to maintain that fat ). Heavier = higher calorie intake to maintain that weight. Therefore as you lose weight and fat, it’s harder to achieve weight loss.
Increase the intensity of workouts. Shorter rest periods, push yourself further.
I’d also recommend focusing on body fat percentage now instead of weight.
Also try supplements. Presdator nutrition has a lot of good stuff and they’re very good explaining at what each product does.

An easy explanation of fat loss. Imagine a bucket of water, remove a cup full and tip away. Theres still water in the bucket, but each time you take out a cup full, the level reduces.

I need to lose 6st to get a healthy BMI. I used mounjaro and it's given me a start and I've lost 2st. I've dumped that as it stopped working and now got a personal trainer also.
It's really down to your PT I'd say. It's their job to advise. I would have thought a mix of cardio and weight training rather than just weight training, but I don't know about these things. Maybe add swimming or other exercise.
If you liked my post, please take the time to upvote it. It's very much appreciated.
Your heart is getting more efficient + you're moving around less weight, so if you carry on doing the same thing, you will get diminishing returns. 2 x 30 has to become 2 x 40 or 3 x 30 etc, or 10,000 steps has to become 15,000.
Or even better, add in an easy jog / cycle twice a week - ideally get a heart rate tracking watch, and keep an eye on your HR, you really don't need it to go very high. It could just be 3 mins jog / 3 mins brisk walk for 30 mins twice a week.

Your weight will fall if you do 1 single thing. Use more calories than you consume. Simple.
Regarding the belly. Are you talking belly fat or remaining loose skin? Is it's weight, see above. If it's loose skin it likely won't go away and depending on the severity, may need surgery to fully remove. (Last resort of course).
Well done on the weight lost so far. The less you weigh, the tougher it gets to lose more. But remember, YOU CAN DO IT!!
