for some reason swiming is much better at keeping wieght off then losing it.
as for losing fat, building muscle works best. get to the gym. start benching, squatting, rowing. free weights etc.
Weights also help alot for skiing too. Lifting not only builds muscle but also helps strengthen your tendons and legements, which will help prevent injuries.

I made this thread awhile ago, theres a lot of good info from myself and others if you can sift through all the "hate replies" posted by lazy pussies.

not to take away your motivation, but some people like my brother just can't get rid of the little gut. I mean even Chuck Liddell has a little chub on the bottom of his stomach, even at the weigh-ins after cutting a lot of weight while the rest of his body is ripped, he calls it his power gut.
also, sit ups don't do much for you lower abs, just google a lower ab routine. You need to switch up the type of excercises you're doing so that your muscles don't become complacent
also, you are doing way too many repitions. Ab excercises, more than any other part of the body is all about quality repitions over quantity. There is an entire article about it in the latest issue of "Muscle and Fitness" magazine. It says if you are doing over 20 reps per ab excercise you are doing it wrong. You need to add resistance (powerbands, holding a weight plate on your chest, or have a buddy pull against a towel that is wrapped around your chest while you are doing them)
finally, make sure you aren't just going through the motions, you have to focus on flexing your abs as hard as you can. Breathing is also key, say your'e doing sit ups, you want to exhale on your way up, and inhale on your way down. This because your abdominal muscles will contract a lot further when there is no air in your lungs giving you better results.
good luck man, ab training is by far my least favorite part of going to the gym, but its so necessary.

do extensive weight training at first which will build / improve your motabolism. this in turn will burn off more fat than cardio work will do. u should aim to to 3-4sessions a week and do not over do it and leave long rest periods with plenty of sleep. eat fibre and protein foods and take whey/creatine supliments twice a day one in the morning and the other 10-15 mins after weight traaining. 3-4 weeks in introduce cardio into ur circuit because it will now be more effective.

I think creatine supplements are a little bit extreme for a little bit of a stomach, but whey protein supplements are a good option. Do not take soy protein supplements because if you use them after all/most workouts you can lower your testosterone levels.

Try running harder and switching up your workouts. People get into the routine of jogging for 20-30mins but they arnt running hard. After a few weeks your body is used to that workout and it wont do shit for you. If you are switching up your workouts with long runs/speed/ect you should see results. If not, you must have an awful diet.

basically anything you can do that gets your heart rate jacked is good.
Anything above normal heart rate for 40 mins is optimal.
Run as hard as you can for a set distance, step up the distance every day but maintain the intensity.
Watch what you eat, eat 5 small meals a day not 3 big ones.
Lay off the weed, it gives you munchies.
Swim if you can, keeps you cool and burns a ton of calories. Not great for loosing fat but good for keeping it off.
if you were to run 1-3 miles everyday, do 20 mins of yoga, and swim 10-20 laps in a regular sized lap pool youd see results with two weeks.
What ever you decide, stick with it. 3 days of workout isn't gonna do shit.

Look up tonalin CLA.
I have been taking it for about a month now and have seen a difference. I take it to tone my body. Others use it for weight loss since it is considered a dietary supplement. You also must work out with CLA. You won't see results only by taking the pills.
I work out 5-6 days a week..I lift like Chest, Tri's and Back MWF and TUesday and Thursday I do shoulders and biceps. I also run two miles a day and on saturdays i run 3.5-4 miles.
lots of cardio will do the trick. you seem to have a pretty good training habit with what you do. I personally only focus on abs one day a week because in theory if you lose the gut around your abdominal muscles you will see your abs as they call them.
