I have tried so hard to lose my belly, but it's just not working. I exercise , and eat right.
This week I didn't eat or drink anything but water, and an apple everyday, is my tummy still huge?

If that 1st link that you attached is you, then WHY are you worried about losing weight??? And secondly, when you only eat an apple and water, your metabolism slows WAY down and wont burn off fat. You NEED to eat at least 3 (if not more) times a day to get your metabloism going. And with exercise (if you are doing it correctly) will also kick-start your metabolism so that you will be burning fat even when you are sittin here at the computer on Yahoo! Answers! If you need anything else, please let me know.

and its gona get only bigger if you keep doing what you are doing wright now.
to lose fat and get permanent results you have to make permanent lifestyle changes:
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

malnourishment (an apple doesnt provide your body with everything it needs obviously) may cause the stomach to actually bloat. Look at pictures or starving kids in africa. some of them have HUGE, bloated stomachs. My friend said working out with her Ab lounge did wonders though
