I take a multi-vitamin every day. I've also read that some studies indicate 500mg of Vitamin C per day helps keep mid-section body fat OFF, but I don't know for sure. I do take vitamin c every day though in addition to the multivitamin.

Your best bet is exercise. As yo exercise your body builds muscle, which in turn speeds up your metabolism. Try eating smaller portions than you do currently and try to work in some light jogging or weight lifting a couple times a week. You'll start to see some differences.

I'm having a hard time caring about the final that I have tomorrow. If I get 100 on the test I have an 82%. If I get a 0 on the test I have a 77%.

.... I think I'll look up a few things to at least feel like I put in some effort and then play video games or something :rotfl:

Yeah, i usually do weight lifting 3 to 4 times a week. and i run whenever i do that. i run about a mile or so. I'll have to try Vitamin C. I desprately need to get my small belly buldge on the bottom of my stomache down. like i do all this, crunches running stuff like that, and still nothing.

Well, it could be that you're not lifting/running with enough intensity. And I don't know what your eating habits are like but you can do all the exercise you want, if you're taking in more calories than you're burning, you're not going to lose any weight. The stomach is the hardest place to lose it from too

Yeah, for a while now i've been eating a lot of salads and what not. drinking gatorade and water. I think i need to cut back on the "energy" drinks and lunch foods too.

Gatorade has too much sugar in it, Powerade is your best bet if you want a sustaining drink. Gatorade is overhyped and overplayed, Powerade has less sugar and provides the same amount or more of electrolytes (boy, I sound like an advert!).

Energy drinks have a bunch of sugar and stuff. What I do is eat a small breakfast and have a coffee (not like frappucino or something but actual coffee), turkey sandwich or salad for lunch and then chicken breast/rice or something easy for dinner. It's working so far. I think what's really whipping me in to shape is all the biking I've been doing. 120 miles in the past month :wiggle:
