I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.
It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.
Good LUCK!

We are in the same boat, Girl. You HAVE to do some cardio. Whether it's just walking briskly around your neighborhood or going to the gym. Cardio is how you burn fat and you need to do it at least 20 minutes at a time. Doing crunches or other exercises to build muscle will just build it behind your fat. I would avoid simple-carbs, as well. Stick to whole wheat and avoid sugar. Good luck. Oh- drink LOTS of water!!

i certainly hope there is a way to have a flat tummy in just a month... removing tummy fat is notoriously dificult and takes a lot of work..
my suggestion: do cardio exercise and then lots of sit-ups...
it depends on how much tummy fat you have acquired, but, let's face it --- one month is awfully short. maybe in your case, it can be done if your tummy fat is really little.
as for the food: go low carb, sugar-free, less fat, less fried foods
good luck!

its impossbile, take about 4-6weeks to see some improvement but it depends on u, ur time and type food u eat. U need do alot push-ups, sit-ups and crunch do 3times 15 each day then u will see differences about 4weeks times. gud luck
