Sit-ups will not cause you to lose weight from your stomach or anywhere else. Sit-ups simply work your abdominal (stomach) muscles.

In order to lose fat you need to improve your diet (stay away from junk food). Here is a link that can give you guidance on how to lose weight. http://www.muscletech.com/nutrition/high...

You will need to learn which foods you can eat and which food will prevent you from losing weight. Generally low fat protein sources such as chicken, turkey, and fish, egg whites, etc. are good to eat. Red meat is fine once in awhile, but if you want to lose weight it is best to stay away from it for awhile because it is higher in fat. Fruit and veggies are obviously very important too. Never eat white bread or pasta. Eat whole wheat food such as Fiber One cereal. Many cereals are high in sugar and you should avoid sugar if you want to lose weight. Oatmeal is good too, but it has to be the large flake type, Not instant or pre-packaged flavour oatmeal because it has been processed and sugar has been added in the flavoured ones. Add your own flavour to oatmeal such as cinnamon, splenda (or stevia) and vanilla. For dairy, drink skim (non-fat) milk and plain yogurt with no sugar. You can add berries to sweeten the yogurt and add flavour. Cottage cheese is also a good source of protein, it is good if you mix it with fruit, I prefer slices of orange or mandarin oranges.

It's a good idea to keep a food diary and track your weight, This website does all the work (calculations) for you www.fitday.com
It will tell you how many calories you eat and lots of other stuff!!


You need to do cardiovascular exercise to burn fat. Some activities burn more fat than others. Here is a link where you can enter your personal information, choose an activity, duration and it will calculate the calories you burn. http://preventdisease.com/healthtools/ar...
Surf the web to find others
The important thing is work hard enough to get your heart rate up.
Here is a link to a target heart rate calculator.http://exercise.about.com/cs/fitnesstool...

Weightlifting will also cause you to lose weight by raising your metabolism. The faster your metabolism is, the more calories you burn. Don't worry, weightlifting will not cause you to look like a bodybuilder. It will tone your muscles and your body will look sexy, slim and curvy. Nobody wants to look like Nicole 'Skeletor' Ritchie.


As you can see there is alot of work involved in losing fat. A HECK of alot more work than just doing sit-ups. If it was that easy everybody would be thin. It's not easy, that's why there are so many obese people. It takes two important things, work and education to lose weight. This should get you started!!!

-Sit ups
-Push ups
-Bridges
-Wall sits (they'll tone your thighs and your lower abdomen muscles if you try to push your belly button back against the wall)
-Get an excercise balls and push your butt up and down on it and it'll help tone your butt and work out your abs

Good luck and drink lots of water! ;-)
