Answer
Hi Tasha first if you still have your personal trainer you need to tell her off your dissatisfaction with her program and ask her to update it as it is not getting you the results you are looking for.

Secondly what did you tell you in regards to your diet? Diet is key when it comes to losing stomach fat. I can not give out specific diets as I am only a nutrition consultant, so I send all of my clients to Jayson's carb rotation diet. I love it for fat loss.

When my clients really want to lose weight I train them using high intensity metabolic workouts. Here is link to a blog post I wrote about them, I have also put up a few video workout examples.

If you utilize these two different things I think you will be really happy with your results. Good luck!

Stay Motivated,

Karen
