Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
I feel like a broken tape recorder the amount of time I have given the exact same piece of advice. Here goes...
Despite what you may hear, despite what popular belief is on this site, despite what impression you get from toneteen (although if you read carefully even they agree with this)... there are no exercises that will get rid of fat from a specific area of the human body. We do not work this way. Crunches or whatever will build muscle on the stomach and that is all. To lose stomach fat you have to lose weight overall and your body will eventually take it from the area in question. We are not in control of this process and cannot direct it to specific parts.
Here are a few weight loss tips:
1- The most obvious... eat less than you burn (by about 500 calories)
2- Eat often... aim to have 4-6 balanced meals every day. Divide your calories more or less evenly amongst them.
3- Keep saturated fats low (good fats containing essential fatty acids are found in things like fish, nuts, olive oil, canola, seeds etc)
4- Drink plenty of water
5- Stay way from things that have sugar added to them
6- Eat carbs moderately (good sources are whole wheat products, oats, rice etc)
7- The most common recommendation I see these days is a calorie split of 40-40-20 (carb, protein, fat). There are 9 cals per gram of fat, proteins and carbs are 4 grams each.
Here is a link to a calorie calculator:

As for your exercise routine, start out slowly and build it up. Try to get the cardio over 30 minutes for best results.
Doing things like crunches, squats, push ups, back exercises etc is also a good idea. Building some muscle will help to boost your metabolism and will make weight loss easier. The more varied your workout (i.e. the more muscles you hit) the better.
Good luck

Heyyy!! well for your stomach i suggest doing sit-ups//crunches every night. it doesnt take that much; maybe like 50. And tred-mills are great. Use your tred mill for about 30-45 minutes every day also. Also, i dont know if you have a pool or go to a pool but swimming is also great excercise for your whole body; just do like laps and stuff or swim around.
**And remember as with any dieting and excercise for best results you should eat healthy. Drink plenty of water and cut down on junkfood and stuff like icecream, chips, too much bread, etc.
GOOD LUCK &&' I HOPE I HELPED.

Well I know from experience that if you stop drinking everything except water you'll drop wieght really quick! I lost 10 lbs. in a week. As for excerices on the stomache...crunches are the best way...and for the thighs you could do squats. It's really good that you have a treadmill, because doing cardio burns alot of calories. Im not an expert but i recommend working out for an hour and a half everyday using you tradmill and doing some of the excercises found here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
