    You're not targeting the stomach area that's why you're not seeing results.

    Only a newbie or a salesman would steer someone to try to lose weight in a target area. You can do as many ab exercises as you want, the muscles will only show if you lose enough weight. You can pay as much money as you want, the bottom line remains to consume less calories than you expend. Sellers of pills, potions and machines prey on the stupid and lazy that hope for shortcuts.

    Spot reducing doesn't work. When you lose fat, it comes from your total fat reserves, and you have no control over what part of the body those fat reserves will come from. Spot exercises can tone and strengthen muscles in specific areas. But, aerobic exercise -- such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or aerobic dance, for example -- is the best way to burn fat. The bottom line: You'll burn more fat from around your middle (as well as from other fat-laden areas) if you take a brisk 20-minute walk than if you do 100 sit-ups.

    Body Fat Myths vs. Facts

    Myth: You Can Lose Body Fat from Just One Area

    Fact: Despite the range of products and programs that claim to target body fat on one specific area of the body, the truth is, you can't burn body fat from just one area at a time. When you lose weight, the fat loss occurs throughout your entire body at once.

    You dont need to spend alot of money losing weight. Its all about disciplining your mind and eating the right foods in moderation.

    Edit: gillies is right. Spot reduction does not work with weight loss products.

    My Mum had a little book from 'Weight Watchers', a 'calorie counter'. She could look up the calorie value of pretty much anything from a slice of cheese cake to a glass of wine. At the back of the book was a table showing how much calories various activities burnt in minutes.

    Not being inclined to physical activity, it tended to make her eat less! Example, 1 Mars Bar = 45 minutes of swimming!

    Of course, there's always or
