    Hi Mamofairy,

    We would advise that any weight loss needs to be based around exercise and a balanced diet. However, it sound's like you are already doing these things.

    It may be useful for you to calculate your BMI using the NHS's BMI calculator? This may help you to see how much weight, if any, is safe to lose?

    If you eat well, exercise and are not overweight, what is making you want to lose that specific amount of weight?

    Take care and keep posting :)

    Maybe you could try pilates or belly dancing to make your stomach look more toned? If your stomach muscles are stronger you'll burn up food quicker. Green tea is also supposed to speed up your metabolism. The fact that you've said people don't think your fat could mean that you think they might be right, in which case yoga or meditation might also help.
