Your best place to start is by evaluating your daily eating and fitness routine. The best way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories and move more. Go to http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov/default.htm to help you with this. It's a web site from the FDA that helps you see where your diet and exercise routine is going wrong, so you can see where to fix it! Hope it helps!

cardio, cardio, and cardio!! You can't spot train! Reduce your calories, increase your exercise time, weight train, and stop eating at 8:00. STAND UP STRAIGHT, it helps the most. I once read that every step you take with your stomach sucked in is equivalent of doing one crunch.
