hey everyone my name is meka & i just joined ths site.
A little about me:
I met my boyfriend in may of last year. im still with him but the sad part is on my part i gain weight in place i shouldnt have of. he says he dosent want me to lose any of the weight ( i do believe he is lieing)  but i feel i need to. i was pregnant & lost the baby so i gained more pounds than i can think of ima bigger than i was when i met him. i went from being in a size 11 jeans to a size 14- 15.

Someone please help me. i really want to lose the weight by the time summer starts at least in my STOMACH area. **How can i lose the flab all in my stomach area ?**

What type of diet are you eating?  Doing any exercise?  

You might try the food diary here on MedHelp to track your calorie intake.  Sometimes, we don't realize how much we really are eating.  

There are a variety of exercises that will help you lose weight.  Walking is always good; yoga is my personal favorite.

Hi Meka, welcome to the site.

Unfortunately, there's no way of spot reducing fat without surgery.  It's just a matter of plugging away at a healthy/low fat diet and exercising more.  As your bodyfat reduces, so will any stomach fat.

Doing crunches may help with the appearance of your stomach as it will tighten up the abdominal muscles.

Best of luck with your quest.
