You can target certain body parts, but only to firm up and tighten the body part. By doing this you will not have jelly like body parts. They will diminish the fat and floppy look. That doesn't mean you burned body fat just in that area. You just added some muscle and tightened it up.\nYou need to exercise at least 3 times a week for at least 30 min. To burn fat all over your body.  (eat sensibly & cut sugars)\n\nP.S I just noticed your picture....Chow-meow!!  \nYou look fine.

I am in the same boat w/you. If you dont act now, you're going to slowly put more weight on.  I didnt' notice when i went from 120- to 135 at all, so its good at least you're noticing. I acually went from 120- up to 150 and then i noticed it!! Scary.well anyway.. to your question. There is no safest, fastest way. Everything has its consequences. My best advice to you is to eat alot of vegetables and fruits. Eat meat only twice a week *boiled meat* is the best. Dont put it in the oven or grill Boiled meat in my opinion is the best, it will probably taste like crap, but it is the smallest in calories (it has to be lean too). Boiled fish, and stuff. I heard cabbage soup works too. Just cabbage, carrots, you can put lots of spices in it. Try eating it for a couple of days( i don tknow if you can eat it for a week) but if you do, guaranteed 10 pounds loss. I Have tried cabbage soup before it works great. Just make sure its only cabbage, carrots, spices, no potatoes!!! If you eat it for a week, you will loose 10-15 pounds. Tummy weight a lot of sit-ups. and jogging. Good luck!! I know its hard, butyou got to catch the beast early, because it only gets harder when yhou have to loose like 30 pounds and 40 pounds!! Also try to get a gym buddy if you can; i wish i had one!! hehe Good luck again, i hope this helps!

I am in the same situation right now and I've found it helps to only eat when I am actually hungry....like when my stomach hurts and/ or growls!  LOL  It doesn't even matter so much WHAT you eat, if you eat more than you burn it WILL turn to fat!  There's just no way around that fact. \n\nso.....  sit ups, walking, more sit ups, try to eat healthier (or reduce your portion sizes at least), more sit ups, more walking, more sit ups.   It will be hard work, but you can do it!!  Good luck!

This is a crash diet and if you go back to your old ways of eating you will gain the weight back as pure fat.... Your body burns 150 calories to digest a stomach full of food, that being said if you never eat more than 150 calories at a time you will not be taking in any calories without starving yourself.  I lost 45 lbs. in 4 weeks doing this.  I ate first thing in the morning, usually a carb friendly yogurt--80 calories--that's burning 70 calories just by eating.  And then I ate every 2-3 hours till bedtime.  This will work, but you should try to take a multi vitamin in the morning, this helps you feel nutritionally satisfied and therefore less hungry.  I also didn't weigh myself for the first 3 weeks, that way I didn't get discouraged if the weight wasn't coming off as fast as I wanted it to.  Best wishes

If you are trying to lose fat, you want both a low fat and low cal diet. Don't count on losing weight if you exercise though because you are likly to put on more pounds than you lose. \n\nIt takes around 500 calories to burn off one pound of fat, but fat is the last reserve of your body, so it takes a lot to get to it. \n\nTo get an estimate of how much you burn each day, consider that if you did nothing but sit, with some minimal walking, you would burn about 2000 calories. If you do the same thing, except for getting about 2 hours of heavy exercise, you'll burn about 3000 calories. You need about 2500 calories a day to avoid being hungery and to stay healthy.\n\nSo, a smart diet (around 2500 calories), and more than an hour of exercise daily, and you should slowly start seeing a difference. Don't expect it to go fast though. It takes about 3 months for your body to adjust to major changes in diet and exercise, and get to peak preformance.

The answer depends on where you are starting... it would be better to ask what is a healthy rate of weight loss and then talk about what a healthy target weight is.  Here are some ideas.\n\n\nOn Yahoo!Answers I find certain questions being asked repeatedly which is simply a reflection of new people participating. A couple of common questions amount to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?" I have gotten very positive responses from my answers when I paused to reply (and now beginning to get "It works!" emails that are very gratifying. I like helping people)... so have recently decided to put a good solid answer on my Yahoo!360 Blog (September 10) that I can point people to. These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.\n\nDon't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. \n\nThere is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nThere is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then

First thing first...Don't stress. Cut down on the junk food and start drinking a lot of water about 2 gallons a day. Eat small meals every 2-3 hours. Healthy meals with a lot of fruits and vegtables, not a lot of red meat of fat. Try eating more chicken(boiled, barbequed, broiled) also try eating salmon or any other low fat fish. If you do that combined with a jog or brisk walk everyday for an hour of would you rather go the gym 3-4 times a week for 2 hrs you will be skinny in no time. The weight will be melting off. You will probably lose anywhere from 5-10 pounds a week for the first couple of weeks. After that don't get discouraged because the wight wont be comming off so quickly but it will come off be patient and think positive. It won't be easy but it will work.

The best way to burn fat and lose weight is a cardio workout. Running, biking and swimming. When the heart rate increases,  slows down, then speeds up again, you are burning more fat. Try running on a treadmill (or the old fashioned way, outside) for 2 minutes, then walk for 3. Repeat this for about 25-45 min. a day. The fat will be GONE in no time. of course a healthy diet is a must as well (cut out fast food, pizza and soda for a month, you'll be amazed at how quick you will lose fat). It is also best NOT to work out with weights at first. burn the fat, then hit the weights. You will lose fat but not pounds by pumping iron (muscle is heavier than fat). Stay away from stomach crunches until the fat is gone as well. You will get ab muscles under the fat to make you look bigger!\n\nGood luck!

You don't. You already weigh on the light side, and 100 pounds will not be good for your health. I tried it once and I looked like a scarecrow. But even if you ate nothing, you will not lose 15 pounds in 4 days without gaining it all right back in a day or two. It sounds as if you are bulimic (you eat and then throw up) or anorexic (you refuse to eat because you think you're too fat). Either way, this is an emotional problem and you should look into getting help. Some people have had permanent heart problems from dieting to excess. Look up Karen Carpenter's name online and you'll see what I mean.

You sound like your Adrenal gland is over stimulated...  I would suggest that you look at the book: "Dr. Abravanel's body type diet and lifetime nutrition plan"  Read the first 50 pages take the test... If you are indeed an "A-Type" It is typical that you would have a stomach even though you are 15... Follow what is designed for you (By the test)  I am an "A-Type" and I have always had a belly and since I've been on this I feel great and no longer am overweight. (Also I would say sit-ups are not what you need... Sit-ups would build muscle under the fat and you may even look more overweight.  Cardiovascular stuff (Like running) is what I would recommend)

Shoot for 50-100 crunches until you feel the burn...that's when the muscle is toning.\n\nYou've got to burn the flab off by exercising and dieting.
