I am 18 years old I weigh 135 pounds, I have stomach fat which I hate. I only eat once maybe twice a day and I recently just started to use an ab lounge to try to tighing my stomach fat. I feel like nothing is working my parents went on a diet this past week and have already lost 5 pounds and all they are doing is eating one thing (which is nasty). I don't drink sodas, I drink water when I am not at home and homemade tea when I am. I really do not eat fried food except when my parents cook it, and I don't eat fast food much maybe once or twic a month. I am not sure what to do anymore and I would LOVE to lose 20 pounds and have a tighter stomach by the end of April can anyone help me please!!!!

    It sounds like you are pretty healthy except with maybe how much you eat. Try to eat 3 meals a day because you need that fuel for your body for energy to workout and to burn fat. Everyone has problem areas(mines is my stomach too) but you need to work all your muscles not just that area, your body will start to lose the body fat where it needs to so long as you incorporate a full body workout including strength training otherwise you will have muscle and water loss instead of just losing fat. Hope this helps, good luck :)

      I know what you mean, I go through stages of forgetting to eat and not having time but I try to make it a priority. You could think about prepairing something quick and easy to eat on the go at night or whenever you have a little time. Even if its just buying some nuts, dried fruit they give you lots of energy and nutrients and are good for filling you up a bit on the go. Just some suggestions, it is more important that you eat when you have a busy lifestyle though.

    Find some type of cardo workout (walking, running, swimming, cycling) and to it for 1 hour 5 times a week. If you can go to the gym that will help too. Remember weight lose is a two headed monster. Reduce intake and increase output.
