Why am I losing weight everywhere but my stomach?

I've lost a total of 12 pounds in the past month by just cutting calories. I can tell I'm losing weight in my legs, wrists, face, chest, and arms..but I can't really tell in my stomach and that's where I want to lose weight. I know you really can't target weight loss but what will make this better? I'm just so frustrated.

    changing your diet to only healthy foods is the best thing you can do and will ensure you will lose weight if combine with walking everyday especially.

    you can eat how much you like if you stay within these 3 guidelines and still lose fat naturally and gradually. You should lose 10lbs each month on average.

    1.eat only steamed lean meats, eggs, healthy fruits ,vegetables, nuts, grains, & yogurt..2. drink only water, juice, & milk..3. walk or do some physical exercise 1-3 hour every day.

    (btw, recommend you also to buy an electronic food steamer ((Very cheap)) and a rice cooker as makes it very easy to prepare healthy meals ,,add a bit of olive oil and pepper, spices on top of steamed vegeatables, fish or chicken to add more taste if wish as these are healthy too.)

    There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.

    1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.

    2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.

    3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.

    These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.

    Hey!

    well, if you'd like to lose weight in that area you'd better start doing some running. That's the best option, no pills, no strange beverages... just running at least 20 minutes 3 days a week and within a month you'll start seeing effects of gettin' fit... Healthy body excercise, best option ever. Don't forget to eat properly, as I assume you were doing.
