I am a 33 year old overweight woman who has begun to lose weight through reducing the amount of calories I take in and through bicycling, and crunches. I am losing between 1 and 2 pounds a week, and am noticing a definite size difference. I have lost 22 lbs so far, but I am having difficulty with one area. On my torso, just below my armpits I have a roll of fat that extends from my back to my bust. I have been lifting 5 lb weights in several different directions and it doesn't seem to be helping. I need something that does not involve buying expensive equiptment.

Do a lot of cardio. Running is the best,start by doing a walk for about 5 minutes,then slowly increase and start to do some jogging about your second time and slowly increase the amoun of time you jog.
