    Well if you just want to lose the fat there are certain exercised that are really good for it

    JUMP ROPE-(combos of jumping rope are really neat an help a lot with it) Stand with your feet together and swing the rope beneath your feet. Jump high enough to clear the rope. Start jumping at a rate of one jump per second for 30 seconds, and increase the rate to two jumps per second for 30 more seconds.

    Lift your left knee up toward your ribs, and keep your left foot flexed. Jump on your right leg at a rate of two jumps per second for 30 seconds on each leg.

    Place your left foot about four to five inches in front of the other foot. Jump in this position at a rate of two jumps per second for 30 seconds. Switch positions, and perform another set for 30 seconds. Rest for one minute, then repeat the entire combo two more times.

    SQUAT PRESS-Hold a 20 lb. dumbbell in each hand and stand with your legs about hip-width or shoulder-width apart. Keep your elbows close to the center of your body. Squat down as low as you can with your torso upright. Exhale and stand up, pressing the dumbbells over your head. Lower the weights down and squat down at the same time. Perform 10 to 12 reps for three sets. You may also do this exercise with one dumbbell.

    STAIR RUNNING-

    For this exercise, use any type of stairway, preferably if it has more than 10 steps and less than 20. However, you may choose and adjust how many steps you wish to climb based on your ability. Climb up the steps as fast as you can, one step at a time. When you have reached the top, climb back down one step at a time. Repeat the pattern four more times, rest for one to two minutes, then repeat the exercise two more times.

    PUSH-UPS AND PULL-UPS-

    These two exercises are basic upper-body strength exercises that also strengthen your torso and hips. You can do them anywhere as long as there is a pull-up bar or a similar apparatus. For the standard push-up, place your hands on the ground, with feet slightly apart. Your head, spine, hip and legs should be in alignment like a plank. Lower your body down to the ground until your chest and hip barely touch the ground. Exhale and push yourself back up without sticking your neck forward. To do pull-ups, grab a pull-up bar or a similar apparatus with both hands about shoulder-width apart. Pull yourself up until your head clears the bar. Lower your body down until your arms are fully extended.

    Perform each exercise for 10 reps consecutively without rest. Rest for one minute or less between sets, then repeat the combo two more times. This method, known as a superset, helps you save time, improve muscular endurance and burn more calories than doing them individually, according to physical therapist Gray Cook, author of "Athletic Body in Balance."

    *i hope this helps! And good luck, im sure your beautiful either way. With or without the fat(: *

    There is no way to target fat on one section of the body. What you can do is target the muscles UNDER the fat to tighten up.

    If you want a smaller stomach instantly, one simple thing you can do is stand up straight and pull your shoulders back. This will also help alleviate neck/shoulder/back pain, too.

    Cardio. Jump rope, jumping jacks, running, biking ect. You can't lose fat in one place you have to lose it all over. Crunches, situps, scissors, reverse crunches to tone the abs
