Women over 40
I'm over forty and want to loose between 20 and thirty lbs. I weigh 163 with all of it hanging in the middle. I watch what I eat and do a little Denise Austin, but this is not helping me loose weight. I need to know what percisely to eat and what exercise to do that will make this tummy go down and keep me healthy too. 

Hi there,
your individual eating needs are going to be different than anyone else, so even if someone does tell you presicely what you need, unless they have evaluated you and have a nutrition background it might be wrong.
Some general points are that eating small, frequent meals helps. Balance meals with carbs, protein, and a small amount of fat. Plenty of high fiber foods, lots of water. Fruits, vegggies, whole grains, lean meats, and some of the good fats.
You may also want to consider a solid exercise plan of strength training and cardiovascular exercise.
