[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I (43F) have an hourglass figure although my belly has always stuck out a bit. When the pandemic started, I began doing a 30-minute walking video (Leslie Sansone) in the mornings, followed by 10ish minutes of Pilates (Trifecta Pilates). I eventually found Bailey Brown's videos (focused on abs, butts, and inner thighs) and have mostly been doing those instead (I have a list of probably 30 YouTube videos I rotate through). So about 40-45 minutes total of working out every morning.

At first, the soft pooch that I had (in addition to my stomach) went away. Great!

Now, three years later, my stomach has actually gotten bigger and I'm having trouble fitting into some of my clothes (shorts, skirts). I HATE clothes shopping and have been the same size (8 or 10) since college, and I don't want to go out and buy a new wardrobe now.

I generally eat healthy; I intermittent fast and have yogurt w/raisins and another protein, along with another piece of fruit, for lunch. Dinner always includes at least one vegetable, a protein, and a starch (which I try to eat less of). We mostly eat vegetarian during the week, so a lot of beans.

Any suggestions to get my stomach to go back to its somewhat smaller size? I'm probably only looking to lose an inch at the most, but it would make my clothes so much more comfortable!

TIA![/quote]
