you have to find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight. take 300-400calories off that number and thats how much you need to lose weight the healthy way.
8 glasses of water a day
5-8 servings of fruits and veggies a day
portion control - 5-6small meals a day instead of 3 big ones
cardio 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training

The best way to loose belly fat is cardio. I like to keep it simple and manageable. I've recently lost 30lbs and here is how....
1. 30 mins of moderately active cardio (walking fast, treadmill, even the stairs in your house) EVERY day so it becomes a HABIT like brushing your teeth. :-)
2. Stop the late night snacking, I stop eating by 8:00 PM and my usual bedtime is 11:00 PM.
3. Keep fresh fruit (I love apples and tangerines) in a big bowl on your kitchen counter to grab for an easy healthy snack. Keep in the frig, lowfat yogurt, cheese string, almonds, etc. think "portion control" snacks for between meals. Keeps me from feeling famished before a meal and over-eating.
4. Get enough sleep, when you are tired you will want to eat.
5. Also if you want to improve your "shape" quicker, do some form of crunches, or what I like is my pilates DVD.
6. Have a good/happy attitude! This is about being heathly and good to your body, don't stress it just do it. :-)
Good luck! I hope this helps!

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.
Get started today!

The answer by the first responder is very good. Five to 6 small and balanced meals is ideal. Include weight training and cardio. Here is an example of a sample meal plan with a sample workout program that can bring great results.

jogging will fix up the shape of your legs (try to jog outside, the fresh air is way better for your circulatory system)...
as for losing weight, don't try a diet, try this:
First thing- don't change how much you eat (unless it is WAY WAY to much), start out by changing what you are eating. If it comes in a diet option, try it. If you are drinking 1% milk, try skim (or the next percentage down), avoid juice (liquid calories are way to easy to consume and hard to get rid of).
Second thing- Watch out for when you are eating these things, often times it is better to have smaller meals and snack throughout the day.
Third thing- NEVER EAT FAST FOOD. It is essentially a slow acting poison on your body and can lead to more health problems than you can think of.
Fourth thing- if you don't exercise, start out going for walks in the park or somehting, then bring it up to a light jog (once you are comfortable), then slowley bring up the intensity.
Fifth thing- Evaluate everything you put in your mouth, (i.e. avoiding higher fat meats like ribs, pork.. try fish instead or dear or chicken... then general meat rule is that the fewer legs it had as an animal, the better it is for you). Also, think about what goes into you ask yourself, "Should I be eating this?"
Sixth thing- You don't have to be doing all this 100% of the time, treat yourself, but recognize your priorities when it comes to it and don't let "treating yourself" get out of hand.

-drink lots of water ( if u can 2 litres a day; cold water so your body has to work double time to heat it)
-dont eat after 7pm
-if you want to munch buy a nut mix
-go for a 10-20 minute light jog in the morning with as much clothing as possible so you can sweat off the pounds (preferably dark clothing)
-100 sit ups or crunches every morning
-latin dancing can at times make hips slightly bigger...belly dancing is perfect if you want picture perfect hips like beyonce
-and dont laugh but the carmen electra video workout is incredibly good for toning the body in order to loose weight
-the more muscle from toning the more you loose, it wont mean your going to look buff its simply a corrected figure
hope it sorta helps
