You are doing well, keep up the good work. I've had a problem with belly and bottom fat too. What is taking it off is eating better. More lean meats, vegatables, fruits and whole grains. It's the prepared foods that take all the good stuff out and leave the fats and useless carbs that do it to us.! Even the so-called lowfat diet stuff! It you have to have soda, switch to diet soda and eat fresher, less complex foods (hopefully you have a dining hall where you are that has some of these). DH and I have been following the South Beach Diet plan which is basically what I've described above. Good luck and keep at it! :-D :-D
