run em off!! it really does work. My body is a lot more defined since i've been going to the gym pretty consistently for 3 months..Run about a half hour at least 3 times a week, stretch right after for about 5 minutes, then if you can't get to a gym do crunches holding weights, and keep them by your chest. You can also to sit ups, but whatever you'd like! GoodLuck!=]

You can't spot reduce; you need to reduce your overall body fat.

There is no magic weight-loss pill, supplement, fad diet, or juice. The ONLY way to lose weight is to consume less calories than you burn. Brad Pitt didn’t get cut for Fight Club by drinking green tea, and you won’t either.

Walk for 30 minutes every day including weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. Do at least 30 minutes of weight training each week. Do 60 minutes of additional, higher intensity cardio each week. You don’t need additional equipment—infomercial products like the Ab Lounger, Sauna Belt, etc. are all worthless so don’t waste your money.

Cut back on the foods you eat with high fat and high sugar content. Eat only single servings (read the label) with less than 3 grams trans fat and 3 grams sugars. Your primary source of sustenance should be grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts and canned tuna (in water, not oil). No dairy (except low fat cottage cheese occasionally); no processed meats; no heavy sauces; no chips, cookies, sodas, breads, etc.

Eat breakfast, and eat five small meals per day instead of three big meals. Don’t starve yourself during the day, but if you don't wake up famished, then you ate too much the day before. Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed.

Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Turn off the TV and the computer. Sleep is vitally important.

Don't consume alcohol—alcohol is nothing more than empty calories with no nutritional value. Some people will argue that alcohol has some health benefits when consumed in moderation—I’m not debating that—but we’re talking about weight loss here. Lay off the booze if you want to lose the fat.

Drink lots of water, then drink more. Not tea, not Gatorade, not milk. Water. If your urine isn’t almost clear, you need to drink more water.

Good luck.

You cannot lose weight in one spot, despite the hype. A certain exercise won't make your thighs smaller or your upper arms slim. You can only tone the muscles underneath to give more definition.

To lose weight on your thighs and stomach, you have to take an all-over weight loss approach: exercise and diet will help, eventually.

For your stomach, try doing some side to side stretches. Also, try jogging and walking. Jogging and walking work both your legs and upper and middle torso. It also slims your rear down as well. Give it a try.

Also, try changing your diet around. Substitute things like soda with green tea, water or any sport drinks. Watch what you eat as well. Turn your daily meals into portions instead of heaping helpings. Try some of these hints, and you'll be on your way!

Good luck!

you cant choose which body part to lose weight off- it has to be overall weight loss.

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)

lots and lots of crunches. you can also lay on the floor. fold a towel and put behind your neck and hold on to each end of the towel. you this kinda like and ab roller to help you do the crunches it works great and doesn't cost a thing.
