Tummy help

All my weight goes to my stomach! It's never flattened out since my last child (over 20 years ago!) It's 10-15 pounds, so it doesn't sound like a big deal, but I look pregnant unless I really suck it in.

I've tried everything and nothing works. I feel bloated and 'toady'.

I just rejoined WeightWatchers online to track my eating and go back on the Flex Plan. Starting the treadmill too, but my stomach seems to be getting BIGGER.
Am I holding water? How do I remedy this? Do I have to give up salt?

Thanks for the reply. I'm 60 and I went through menopause about 8 years ago, so it can't be that. I'm going to try cutting out salt for a while.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
