I'm 16, weigh 115-120 pounds right now, and have an absolutely annoying concentration of fat on my stomach. And no-where else.

I'm sure it has something to do with genetics.

All of march and early april I ran HIIT every other day and ate extremely lean (read:carefully.....1,500 calories or so a day).

I had to stop running for about 3 weeks due to a foot injury (fell out of a car :laugh:) but still tried to maintain my diet.

As of now, I haven't seen any results. I'm eating about 1,000-1,200 calories a day, high protein intake, lean meats, enough carbs and fat to hopefully avoid a metabolic slowdown.

I've never been able to maintain a workout/eating plan for more than a week, and I'm extremely proud of myself for getting this far, but if I don't see results SOON (Beach week June 17th) then I'm likely to just eat celery/tuna exclusively and do HIIT every day.

Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? How many calories does my body burn on it's own a day?

If I have exactly a month to lose this stomach, what can I do, no matter how extreme or difficult, to achieve my goal?

I would appreciate any and all help possible on the matter.

Thanks!

You need to give yourself more time.The stomach area is the hardest to tone,accordin to your post you are doing everything right and doing really well..Did you take a waist/stomach measurement before you started? that way you can gauge your progress by doing a measurement now.

Dont give up and dont go to extreme measures,you are more likely to halt your progress if you do..
