    Sweetheart, unless your legs are stick thin, you can’t have the stomach you think you do. It all ready seems you are doing what you need to do to keep your weight down. Try crunches, side crunches, bicycle kicks. At the weight and height you are at though, I think you are perfect the way you are.

    Running does not help as much as resistance exercise. Body weight exercises and Sandbag type of exercises burn fat like crazy in a short time, build a lot of functional muscle and endurance at the same time.
    Find out your ideal daily calorie intake. Then reduce your daily food intake by 500 calories. Spread out this deficit in 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day.
    You must drink at least a gallon of pure water per day and more during summer.
    Eat nuts, sun dried raisins, figs, legumes, edible seeds of all variety. Fresh fruits, vegetables and their juices are great for you. If you still hit a fat loss plateau then you can quit eating starches and replace them with raw fruit and vegetables.
