Go back in time a year and start living a healthier lifestyle instead of looking for a quick fix.  \n\nIn fact, just start doing that now.  You'll be ready for next years bikini season if you start a healthy but challenging work out plan and a sensible diet.\n\nOK, that was a little harsh and dismissive - here's a different answer.\n\nMany, including lots of movie stars, swear by various forms of fasting to help them look leaner.  Juice fasting is one; I've also heard about simply eliminating all carbs for a week or so before your target date. \n\n Just be smart, you must eat to be healthy so don't try to go anorexic or bulimic, these are dangerous and will actually slow your metabolism down making weight loss harder.

Not going to happen.  You'll only lose water weight and it can make you sick.  There's no way to lose weight from specific body parts, you have to do cardio to help shed pounds all over and then toning exercises to develop and tighten the muscles in your stomach and legs.  It usually takes about a month to start seeing results.  If you have some event you're going to and want to look sleek, try one of those body shapers.  They are an easy way to reduce bulges in all the wrong places.  It's almost like losing weight in five minutes!

the best thing to do when you have time is to do exercises specially for the abdomens called abs.. it always looked like after having children with all the extra things to do it would be easier to lose weight but it is not.. you  have to burn more calories than you take in and do the certain excerises...leg excerises are good too.. if you ever get a chance walk whenever you can and aroeboics is really great for all over  and burning calories and does make you feel better too.. start out slow then build up to more .....there is some good exercise tapes out there.. i like denise austins videos and exercise tapes.. i know she has one for after having children too..but good luck....

There are really no quick ways. If you eat balanced meals and avoid a lot of the fatty foods and avoid excessive snacking,drink plenty of water, and get excercise you will start to lose about an average of 2 pounds a week. \n\nThe crunches that someone suggested are excellent. You just have to keep at it. Also lifting weights is helpful . Both those excercises tone the tummy and help you build muscle. \nWhatever you do, don't get lured into going on some type of a fad diet, they are baaaaaaad news.

You can't spot reduce.  To lose weight in your tummy, you need to eat less and exercise more.  Start with walking if you are currently inactive.  Work up to at least 30 minutes 3 - 5 times per week.  You can do ab crunches to tone your stomache muscles, but if you have fat over the muscles, you won't really be able to see them until you lose weight.

if you want to focus on get rid your fat in mid section then you could do alot abdominals train, expecialy train your obligue.\n\nadd the following exercises to your training menu :)\n\nCrunches  3 Set 25 Repetitions\nSit Ups   3 set 25 Repetitions\nOblique Crunch 3 set 25 repetitions\nSide Twist 3 set 25 repetitions\n\nPS: do cardio twice a week is quite enough, if you do alot of cardio then you will be become more thin expecially in your face section, not your mid section. just keep your diet and more exercise in abdominals.

The elliptical machine is best. I reduced my hips and thighs in a month (working out on the elliptical for 25-35 min, 3 times a week).

Here are some reasonable tips that might help. Wear a dark bathing suit that comes with a skirt attached; it'll hide the rear and hips. You can also wear a two-piece bathing suit top that looks like a tank-top instead of a bra.\n\nDon't eat right before going to bed. Eat a light (low carbs, like a big salad) dinner a few hours (I would recommend not eating after 8pm) before bed and don't eat anything else before you sleep. If you go to sleep with a full stomach, the food just sits there while you sleep and isn't digested as rapidly.  This will reduce the appearance of a "tummy."\n\nBut don't starve yourself! Eat carbs in the morning if you'd like, that way you burn them throughout the day. Drink lots of water, no sugary drinks or junk food. Other than that, relax! Don't stress, and enjoy your birthday!  ^_^

1) Get a group of friends going. Everyone needs to lose weight. They will hold you accountable for your exercise, and together you can look at new and healthier recipes.\n\n2) Learn how to love yourself at any weight; more importantly learn how to love yourself naked. While it may sound odd and pretty perverted, if you can love yourself naked you can love yourself at any weigth. Be proud of you body!\n\n3) Don't depend on pills; depend on yourself. Learn to eat in moderation. Don't think you can do it? If you have a midnight craving, try drinking a glass of water. Many times when you think you're hungry, your body is actually thirsty. \n\n3) Exercise--even 30 minutes a day will make a huge difference. Start small, and don't push yourself too hard. You can't run until you can walk. Keep at it, and remember: don't give up. You will NOT see instant results.\n\n4) Set small goals and move on up. Don't start with a weight loss goal of 50 pounds in 3 months. Try 10 pounds in 1 month. That's healthy, and there's not as much pressure. Also, put up a new dress or bikini in the size you want to wear. That's your motivation. Everytime you wake up, you'll see that dress.\n\n5) If you need extra help, try Weight Watchers. In a study it was noted that WW had a higher success rate of losing weight and keeping it off. They now have a monthly pass that allows you to buy per month. You don't have to buy their foods to be successful.\n\n6) Remember: weight loss if a lifetime journey and change. You aren't going to change and lose weight over night. Allow yourself to make mistakes, but don't be discouraged. Eventually you'll learn that a bit of chocolate cake is just as satisfying as a huge slice. \n\n7) Alternate your exercises--don't just stick with one. Try a gym and take classes. Spice it up. Try a swim class. Try pilates. Do things you wouldn't normally do. I do a belly dance class and I've already lose 15 inches. Crazy how that works!\n\n8) Be healthy--losing 25 pounds in 30 days is NOT healthy. Aim for 2-5 pounds per WEEK, not per day. Remember: this isn't going to be a quick fix. You have to get your mindset off of that. Also, learn that your body may not be right for weight 110 pounds. If you weight 130, you'll be even more healthy. There is a point in every woman's body where the point of "too thin" is reached. \n\nGood luck, and DON'T GIVE UP!

how tall are you?  should you weigh 160-170lbs?  That's alot of weight to lose in less than 2 months.  You better go on a very strict diet, no more than 500cal/day, drink loads of water, and do cardio work out for a minimum of 4 hours a day, you have to burn that flab off if you want to lose that much that fast.  Do a couple hours of light weights too.  You will have to burn about 4 times your daily intake, at least.

At 130, unless you are really really short, you don't really need to diet.  Just do some light weight lifting to tone your arm and leg muscles.  If you can't afford or otherwise don't have access to a gym, just buy some hand/leg weights at walmart ($20 or less probably). Pilates works well too, you can just get a video and make sure to do exactly what it says (most of the ones I have are by Denise Austin).  Carmen Electra has created some seduction exercise dvds, that are based on exotic dancing (my sister said they are good for exercise and ideas) you'll have to search for it online. Also, there are belly dancing exercise videos, i have one and it's a lot more fun than some other workouts plus it directly targets those trouble spots.  You may want to add how much time you have till the cruise to your question.  If it's within a month you're going to have to work out a lot harder than if it is 3 or 4 months away.  If you are capable, running is one of the best ways to tighten your abs, and it's not nearly as anoying as situps.

Though there are many ways to lose weight quckly but none of them are healthy, There is n such thing as instant weight loss and u shud not go in for that. By controlling the intake of calories and regular exercise you can do this in 30-45 days

Read Curves by Gary Heavin:\nI tried this for two weeks, and it involved light exercise--I agree with the first answer exercise does it, but eating less carbs and more protein helps-follow the book. Cut out table sugars.\n\nAfter two weeks, I lost three pounds and my pants fit better around the tummy.

Well 30 lbs isn't a very healthy amount to lose in one month, but twenty is ok, although it wont be easy. The best HEALTHY way to do it is to do lots of cardio Exercise (like running or aerobics, something that really gets your heart rate up). Also keep your calories low, about 1700-1800 per day, so watch your food labels. Also drink about one gallon of water per day, that was something important that I didn't do but will help. Hope it goes well!

contrary to popular belief, you cant just target a specific area when losing fat. You must reduce your body fat percentage in your ENTIRE body and eventually the belly fat will go too. \n\nThe best way to lose fat is simple - exercise. If possible, do some cardio first thing in the morning before eating any full meals. This burns the maximum amount of fat. Since your body has not had any food for the last 7-10 hours, it burns the fat in your body for energy. If not, then cardio and a little weight lifting anytime of the day will do. It is important to build some muscle since it will aid in your fat loss. The more muscle mass you have, the faster your metabolism.\n\nAlso, try eating small meals more frequently as opposed to the big 3 (breakfast, lunch, dinner). try to eat a small meal every 3 hours. The reason for this is that your body burns more calories since it is constantly digesting something in your stomach and will raise your metabolism. It is also useful to eat small meals because your stomach will not be stuffed and will always have a smaller look. If you are afraid of doing this because you might end up eating more, try this: when you are about to eat lunch, separate everything on your plate into 2. eat half and leave the other half to be eaten 3 hours later. do the same with dinner.\n\nlastly, losing weight is just simple math. If your calories taken in is more than when you use up (exercise, daily activities, metabolism, etc) then you gain weight. If it is less, then you lose weight. If you are really determined to lose weight then i suggest you start counting how much calorries you consume a day and cut it by 300-500 each week until you notice some results.\n\nif you are really serious, avoid eating foods high in sugar without any real nutritional value (chocolate, cakes, doughnuts, ice cream, all desserts) and foods way up there in the calorie scale (pizza, fried anything, etc). Foods which are very sweet like the ones mentioned above contain a lot of simple sugars which do nothing but make you fatter. What you want to be eating are complex carbs (wheat bread, oatmeal), foods high in protein (tuna, beef, chicken breast, etc), vegetables and fruits as these foods have the most nutritional value and will help in your fat loss. dont over eat with these foods only because they have good nutritional value. remember as long as you have a caloric surplus, you WILL gain weight, no matter how healthy you eat\n\nby doing all of the above, you will be able to achieve a lean body with a good body fat percentage. This will ensure that your stomach is flat and hard. However, if you want abs (im assuming that you do) you will have to train them hard. There are quite a number of exercises for the abs on this page http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercise... like the different variations of crunches and oblique exercises to get you started.
