Diet: Exercise certainly helps but a healthy, sustainable diet is the only reliable way to fat loss. The best place to start is by cutting out all sodas and juices (i only drink water), and limiting foods with added sugar. I'm a fit swimmer but i lost two inches from my waist by this simple change. Your weight loss goal should be 1lb/wk. You may not have to restrict food, but cutting 500cal/day = 1lb/wk.

Hi there, Over the last 5 months I've lost around 30 lbs of weight. As my body is slimmer, I noticed a small lump in my groin area about 4/5 inches below belly button. I'm not sure if it was there and I did not notice because of the extra fat. Either way, did some research and have narrowed down symptom to inguinal hernia. Scheduled appointment with personal care doctor but it is not until September. Should I see an urgent care sooner? inguinal hernia, how urgent to see doctor?
