A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

The best tip I got (from Fitness magazine) was to do crunches in bed before getting up. That way there are no excuses like running out of time or getting too tired later in the day. Plus, it gives a nice little energy boost that you could maybe use for arm or leg exercises!

Throughout the day, keep pulling your abs in every chance you get, and also try to sneak in as much cardio as you can. Consider getting a mini trampoline, a stability ball or balance board. Core work is another way to help strengthen and tone those abs!

Do crunches! I got a toned sixpack in 2 months doing crunches every night before bed. Start w/ 25 or so and build up till you're doing 100-150 every night. And vary the crunches you do - Do start with like 25 up the center, 20 to the right (left elbow touches right knee) and 20 to the left (right elbow touches left knee). You can take a couple seconds break after you do the first 25 and then the next 20. Keep at it, crunches WORK!
