They sell the blue book at wal-mart. since you dont want to lose a lot of weight, you should skip to phase 2, which is not very strict.
OR-
if you dont want to go on a diet to lose the belly fat and just change your eating habits,
->cut off sugar related products such as junk food ad anything with a lot of sugar
->stop drinking juices and start drinking water more often
->sit ups and crunches are perfect for the stomach

A would recommend the Pilates For Everyone, its a really easy-to-use DVD! As for what kinds of food you should eat.. eat a lot of fruit! And try to stay away from junk food.

You can tone and shape the underlying muscles, but you can't target the fat in a specific area; when your system burns fat, it takes it from ALL OVER your body, no matter what part you're working out. That's just how your biochemistry works.
So your best options are to eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and do cardiovascular exercises every other day - that is, walk (fast), or jog, or run, or bike, or swim, or use some sort of cardio machine at a gym. Your cardio workout needs to last at least 30-40 minutes, and more is better.
That will speed up your metabolism, which will make your body burn fat at a higher rate all the time - even when you're sleeping.
On alternate days, warm up with some light cardio exercise (about 15 minutes) and do some weight training; you can use free weights or exercise machines. If money is short, you can get an incredible range of exercise with just a couple of five or ten-pound hand weights. By toning up your muscles you'll improve your shape and burn more fat.
Sit-ups are a fine addition to your muscle-building regimen. Just make sure not to hurt yourself, and give your muscles at least every other day off to rest. After weight training, you can do some more cardio, if you feel up to it. But it sounds as if you're still growing, so it's important not to overdo it. If you feel pain, stop and rest! And make sure to stay well-hydrated. Drink a lot of water.
You didn't say if you were a girl or a boy. If you're a girl, you should be aware that your body is *designed* to have a certain amount of fat. Some rounding at your belly is healthy and normal, and is also very attractive to boys. Remember that boys see you in a very different way than you see yourself. When you look in a mirror, you might see nothing but your belly; boys, or at least *some* boys, will see the girl of their dreams.
On the other hand, if you're a boy, it would be smart to work on that belly now; unfortunately a pear shape is pretty easy for some males to develop (I should know!), and it can be a sign of a tendency towards heart disease.
Roxybabii922 answered Tuesday August 9 2005, 2:49 pm: Cut back on Carbs and do 80 crunches a night.
20 laying flat on your back- it tightens your upper abs
20 with your legs in the air- it tightens the lower abs
20 on both of your sides- it tightens the sides of your abs [ Roxybabii922's advice column | Ask Roxybabii922 A Question ]
