I lost 17 and hit a Plateau - the key is portion control and exercise. But, bacon has a lot of calories and sat fat so that is good to cut out. Beer is bad for the belly, but booze has only 80 calories per oz (hard stuff). Remember I recommend vodka if you want to drink. Butter has sat fat and you can use better stuff - safflower (sp.) or some such - good for the heart. It has good fats and tastes as good a butter. I have heart disease (CAD) and I use it.
If you cut out too much your body thinks you are starving and burns muscle and not fat.
