I have been running everday and I bought a jump rope yesterday. I have also been doing exercises I got out of a magazine to get a flat stomach. What else can I do? Your body decides where to store the fat and where to remove it when it needs it; the only thing you can do is keep eating HEALTHY and exercising. Sure, you can target muscle groups but if the muscle is under fat, it won't help you until the fat is gone. I used to be 267lbs and VERY fat, I am currently 190lbs and built. Fat comes off every part of your body when it has no choice but to use it but here are some steps I have noticed girls do wrong: 1. They stop eating – This is VERY bad, this will actually make you lose weight SLOWER. Your metabolism will slow down and go into "starvation mode." It will start to store ANY calories you take in as fat for energy later. Very bad. You should eat 5-6 SMALL meals a day (about every 2-3 hours), that alone will make you lose weight fast. 2. Build MUSCLE – This is a problem with women because they are afraid of growing "too big" of muscles. Just to give you an idea, you can work out one muscle group and that muscle group can take up to 50 calories a day just to sustain itself! Basically every day you are sitting around (before working out) your muscle(s) are using up to 50 calories per major muscle group, per day! Think about that, 50 and that's just to upkeep muscle! That's a no brainer and a freebie! Build muscle and keep it tone! Be patient and the fat will come off your stomach and other places.

You're doing pretty good so far. So you don't get bored try to do different forms of cardio, like biking, swimming, or jogging. For strength you could also get a regular old basketball, soccer ball, or volleyball [a medicine ball would work too]. Lay your lower back on the ball and just do about 25 crunches. 25 crunches on a ball = 50 crunches on the ground. Pick whichever is best for you.

This has been a great lie from magazines, pills, diet supps, etc. You cannot target certain body parts to lose fat. This has been a lie for YEARS and always will be a lie to sell you products/workouts/magazines. Your body decides where to store the fat and where to remove it when it needs it; the only thing you can do is keep eating HEALTHY and exercising.
