    This place works. Give it at least 2 months, you'll see.
    Log absolutely everything you eat.
    Your stomach will get flatter as you lose weight.

    No tricks! Use a food scale to weigh everything you eat. read this

    You can't spot reduce.

    You have to be consistent and be honest with yourself. You don't have to give up anything you like to eat, you just have to fit whatever you want to eat into your daily calorie budget. You can't outrun your fork.

    Good luck. I've lost 140lbs, more than I weigh now.

    Not exactly tricks, but prelogging/meal planning, eating regular meals, not depriving yourself, getting some exercise every day, reducing exposure to temptation, getting enough quality sleep, these things help you stick to your calorie deficit, which is what makes you lose weight. Oh, and you can't spot reduce.

    Diet is key for losing weight. Drop the abs workout and replace with a good full-body resistance program which work the larger muscle groups.

    What he said. Cardio is good, too. Ab workouts no more than once per week.

    Also take your measurements and figure of what body shape you are. Many women do not realize that fat is stored more in certain areas depending on your body shape. This will give you more of a realistic understanding on how you will look as you lose weight. http://shopyourshape.com/calculate-your-body-shape/
