Started cutting down how much bread and nutella I've been eating starting today.
Every morning for the past year or two I've been having 2 Nutella and peanut butter sandwiches (four slices). And despite the 1000 calories i burn from walking at work plus going to the gym 5 days a week I can't seem to get rid of this tiny bit of fat on my stomach. Hoping this does the trick.

Anyone who's changed from 12 reps to 8 care to share their experiences with me?
I felt as if I was plateauing on 12 Rep lifts. Today on the leg extensions I upped the weight significantly and told myself I'd do 8 reps and ended up pushing out 12 for 2 sets and 8 for the last set.
Maybe my plateau was all in my head but 8 reps definitely felt as if it hit the muscle better.

The cereal itself is very filling though so you don't need much to get you full.
If you plan on going to a lower rep, make sure you up the weight. The last couple of reps in the set should be a struggle. By the sounds of you pushing out 12 in the first two sets tells me that you aren't hitting a heavy enough weight. On the third set, you might have gassed yourself and couldn't push out the last 4 reps out. What is your rest time between sets?
I would have to agree that the Nutella & PB morning breakfast is ****ing amazing, especially with some banana. However! Not the best thing to eat in the early AM if you want to cut the weight. Have you tried Egg Whites, maybe some light fruit, and a shake? As for the cereal, careful with those. They tend to be pretty high in sugar and carbs (that things you tried to cut down on!). Anything that comes in a box or a jar you've got the read the labels to know what you're buying. The front cover doesn't always give you all the info.
What's your end goal? Just to cut like 2-3 inches off your tummy? Are you trying to get ripped?

Ripped
Been going to the gym now 5 days a week for the last 11 months.
But I'm also taking that bit (it's really not much but it's enough for me to notice) of fat off the stomach. I'm on the right track with cutting down on nutella and peanut butter. Worst part is I used to do 1 teaspoon of nutella on one piece of bread and 1 teaspoon of peanut butter on the other piece. So 2 sandwhiches (4 pieces of wonderbread), 2 teaspoons of nutella and 2 teaspoons of peanut butter. Loads of sugar that I just don't need.
I only had one sandwhich this morning and used one teaspoon of that reese's peanut butter chocolate spread which is essentially what I was eating with nutella and peanut butter except cut into half because I'm not getting double the sugar since I use one teaspoon.
Edit: also Yeah I upped the weight significantly but managed to push out 12 reps. Next week I'm upping the weight even more so I am only physically capable of doing 8 reps.

I only know the 1RM on my compound lifts (squats, bench, deadlift) but those have been improving so I'm gonna keep them at 5. I'm not sure about all the other lifts because theres just way too many. I'll figure it out next week I'll just keep pushing the weight higher and higher for every lift.
Currently having Quaker Lightly sweetened Apples and Cinnamon for breakfast. 4 grams sugar. 140 mg of salt. 29 g packet.
Looking for lighter stuff, as well. Too old to worry about getting ripped, but would like to cut some weight.

That stuff is great and very filling. I have it every day on my last break.
Mix 2 teaspoons of hemp seeds into it, even if you don't care for protein hemp seeds are pretty nutritious.

You should try a couple hard boiled eggs or a small can of tuna at last break.

Used to eat a lot of eggs but theres just way too much cholesterol. I know egg whites fix that problem but they're really bland to me.
Canned Tuna is definitely something I've gotta eat more of. It's the only fish I like and I don't eat enough of it.
Sent from my raven
There's an argument to be made that eating cholesterol doesn't actually raise your cholesterol. But who knows.
Be careful when buying tuna. Many companies have switched to cheaper not as healthy skipjack. Look for Albacore packed in water.

I've seen big results after following a program similar to what's discussed in this link.
