Whatever you do, don't loose weight by not eating (completly) or by squeezing the weight in your belly out. Tips: Exercize daily (not too strenuous exercise) and eat healthy foods (vegetables and such). Doing a couple sit-ups (10-40 or 50 if you can) every day might help.

Try Fat Magnet. It doesn't reduce weight but binds fats in your meals. That means you need to follow some exercises as well...

I just lost 50 pounds since last January and I've kept it off for 4 months. I found the best way to get over cravings is to find your inspiration and keep it in front of you.\n\nI had an old picture of me when my body was in its best form. I kept copies of it on my fridge and in my wallet. Late night snacks got stopped with the reminder on the fridge and when I went into my wallet for money for late night Chinese food with the guys, there was the picture telling me to say no. Worked for me! Best of Luck!

The only real way to lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off is to increase your exercise and cut down on your food intake. Your goal of two pounds a week is a sensible and achievable one. The first thing you have to do is decide that it is what you really want to do. i.e. more important than snacking or lying on the couch. You need to change your life i.e. get up from the computer. It really is not that hard once you make up your mind to do it. It also helps if you can do it with a freind or partner for encouragement. It worked for me. Lost about 60 lbs two years ago. Went to the gym about 3 days a week for 2 hours per time. Walked a lot. Decided to eat smaller amounts but more often and slightly reduced my overall intake. Did not snack unless I was really really hungry. I have gained back a bit of the wieght I lost as I am no longer going to the gym but I seem to have leveled off no with an overall loss of 35 lbs. Good luck. John

to loose weight....\nA FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:\nThe correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume\nYou need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising\nIf you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories\nBut you should always eat\nIf you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much\nRemember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball\nSo you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits\nAlso, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full\nso eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore\n\nALSO....\ni found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People\nHow to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.\nSlash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.\nThis is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender.

There is no quick if you want healthy.  if you loose more than 2-3 lbs a week you are loosing unhealthy weight.  Usually just water, or muscle.  The only way to loose weight is to use more than you eat.  Yep, that means you gotta exercise.  Even if its walking instead of driving to the corner store, it adds up.  Try to stick with a balanced diet.  It's kinda hard trying to loose weight, but I'd recomend sticking with carbs.  Less fat and health risks.  That adkins thing, I'm iffy on.  Plus carbs help you feel full better than protein.  If you got a sweet tooth, try fruit.  It's sweet enough to curb a lot of cravings and low in calories.  A web search will get you a nutrition guide to the best fruits to eat.  Most are less than 100 calories so you can eat a lot.  And watch what you drink.  Sodas and juices have a lot of calories.  If you can cut that out, you might be able to make the calorie deficit you need.  That's all it takes for me.  Water gets boring fast, but there is a lot of 10 cal. mixes at the grocery store to give you flavor with out adding the other 160 calories.  Good luck.

You do not loose weight by starving yourself. You can loose weight by exrecising daily: taking a walk, or jogging. you could also do some basic exercises like sit-ups and stretching for your muscles. And try working out in a gym. \nThe best way to loose wait is to burn it out.\nSO EAT GOOD FOOD that is  BALANCED DIET DAILY.

We'll I had mine a cple years ago and have lost a total of 63 pounds.  I wish I could loose more but I think I am at my peak. Sometimes our bodies just tell us when it has had enough and has done all it can do or if you are a stong willed person you cna proove everyone wrong and exercise more or just take out 1 less snack and drink a tad more water to flush your system.   Hope this helps.

there is no easy way.  if you adopt a training routine and stick with it, you'll not only loose the weight, but you'll feel better day to day and gain mental strength from it.  \n\nthere is no magic formula.  adjust your eating habits and begin exercising.  if you have the money, get a personal trainer.  it would be a good investment, as nothing feels better than being healthy.

A good way for anyone to loose weight is eat right and exercise.  I don't think age matters on this question.
