"Hi I'm Les Whitley. I'd like to take a moment right now and talk to you about losing weight particularly around the waist without losing too much weight in the other areas of your body. It's a very difficult task because it's typically when you lose weight you lose weight through your entire body. More importantly we are talking about losing body fat. You don't want to necessarily lose muscle mass, because that's what gives your body the nice lean tone look that everybody looks for. When you lose weight you are going to lose from deposits of fat throughout your entire body. When you do particular exercises such as toning of the mid section, you may notice a difference in inches so your waist actually appears smaller as you are losing body fat, but you are still going to lose body fat from your entire body. You may lose weight faster and one particular area then the other but a lot of that depends on where you actually carry your deposits. By incorporating a regular physical activity routine as part of your daily active lifestyle and then a good overall nutritional plan to help you achieve those results, you are more likely to see those results faster. Which at the end of the day no matter where the weight comes from, as long as you have your goals in mind, so that if you are trying to lose weight from your waist or lose body fat more in particular, then you're able to set yourself up to achieve those goals. The bottom line is there's no way to really reduce short of surgery any one particular area. By incorporating exercises that tone and strengthen the mid section you will define and tighten those muscles but you are going to lose weight from your entire body. Be patient, take your time stay dedicated and committed to the exercise routine that you choose."
