Can I still Eat my normal foods, but do exercise and still lose weight and trim stomach...?

I need to trim off a lil stomach and love hundles (lol) but I don't wanna go on a major diet, cuz face it... all diets do is starve you , and then once you are off, you eat everything you couldn't eat while you were on it. But, if I eat say...Special K for breakfast, Salads w/ Chicken Breast Chunks, and a Side salad w/ a small main dish for dinner, and cut out on all fatty snacks will this be good? Also, I can cut out all sugar beverages, and just drink water...atleast 8 glasses a day. And, then do simple exercises I have at home... I have this equipment... (yeah, it's silly stuff,but i don't buy eqipment!) http://www.karatedepot.com/sites/karatedepot/images/items/large/st-wb-10.jpg http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B000WC38CS/ref=dp_image_z_0?ie=UTF8&n=130&s=dvd I plan on doing the twist board for 30 min. a day, the walk for probably atleast 30 min. + 100 sit ups plus this 6 week fitness program that came with the latest issue of "Seventeen". What do you think? Do I need to add vitamins in the mix? Is this enough exercise or do I need more? Thanks

as long as you avoid junk food & soda (its okay to have it once in a while- but def not everyday) & a good exercise routine- you will be fine
It's too easy. Just burn more fat than you eat. Start writing down everything you eat... as long as you're burning more, you'll loose weight.
Eat healthy, do lots of cardio every day, and drink a lot of water and you'll lose weight.
