i'm not really that fat and i am pretty active everyday since i play softball but i want to tone up my stomach for swimsuit season. i don't have a problem exercising at all but the diet for me is difficult. i always find myself either eating yogurt for breakfast (which isn't the problem because i love yogurt) a sandwich for lunch and a salad for dinner but i get bored really fast with these foods. does anyone have any other foods to help me lose a few pounds?

Remember not to overdo it on carbs and minimise saturated fats (fat found in animal products is often high in saturated fats).
Then make sure you have a small regular daily intake of good fats (from good oils, nuts, fish etc.) and particularly omega 3 which is often neglected in our diets. Some sources include: oily fish, flax seeds & oil, walnuts, dark leafy vegetables, etc. You can also get some oils like canola and olive oil with a higher omega 3 content. Deficiency in this fatty acid is associated with a long list of health problems and it also makes weight loss harder.
