OK I was a major fatass about a year ago. I knew it and I was tired (literally and figuratively) of being tired all the time with no energy. So I decided to lose weight.

Since then I've lost 65 pounds (the first 60 without going to the gym) and am in the best shape of my life by far.

A few questions for people who know about this stuff:

I still have a lot of fat. I was at 275 and now I'm at 210. My arms have gotten way bigger and my legs are beginning to bulge as well. My upper chest is starting to swell out also. I've quadrupled the weight on many of the nautilus machines I use. One major problem though: my fatass gut that I've had since I was born (literally). I've had a gut since I was 6 months old and it won't go away. I do 30 minutes of fat-burn elliptical 3 times a week and do weight training and nautilus machines 3 times a week. Why won't the gut go away???

I've tried 100 reps of moderate weight on the ab machines and 20 reps of massive weight on the ab machines and neither do anything.

My body is extremely resilient to working out to begin with (I can build muscle, but working out doesn't seem to burn fat) so I'm having a particularly hard time.

I eat around 900-1500 calories per day if that matters.

Help me!!!!!!!
