    You lose weight by eating fewer calories than you burn. You lose predominatly fat by sustaining an appropriate deficit - not exceeding the amount of calories your fat cells can metabolize per day (equals to a weekly weight loss of around 1% of your body weight). You can't spot reduce; weight comes off as it will - but you can strengthen your abdominal muscles. Initially, any exercise that challenges those muscles will do. As you get fitter, you'll probably need more specialized advice than I can give you.

    I swim and that is great exercise. The different strokes definitely use different muscle groups. It's great because your muscles are supported. For arms and "love handles", doing pull-ups from the diving mounts at the end of the pool lanes is good. Overall I just like the warm feeling I get from swimming. It's like if you have snow skied all day, and your body is spent!
