I'm getting annoyed about my belly though.

I have this really weird W-shaped pouch, two pouches of fat either side of my belly button, that just look weird.

Will I be able to shift this eventually if I keep training and eating sensibly? In some ways its looks worse than before. It's like the fat all around it has melted off but whats left is really noticable.

I might take a picture so you can see what I mean.
I think that means you are going in the right direction. You are getting some seperation between your ab muscles. You sometimes have to look a little worse for a while on your way to your goal. If you build ab muscles but still have some fat, those raised abs will push your fat out further. But its going in the right direction.
Ah cool so it's hopefully not a permanent thing then? It is annoying me, my skin feels more loose now, like a flat tyre, it actually felt tighter when it was full of fat lol.

Also my chest annoys me. Because I'm on thyroxin and have had radiotherapy it's meant I have a bit of a gynocomastia problem (man boobs). I rreally hope I can shift them too in time.

Anyway, its still going well, Ive just finished another session 10 mins ago and am now working out for over 3 hours a week, spread over 6 days.
