i'm 13, 5'3 and i weigh 7st 3lbs
i do 40 situps every night, and hell, does it work wonders for that bulging tummy!
shove your feet under something heavy like a coffee table or your bed (if your bed's close to the ground), put your hands behind your head and work those muscles!

depending on your physical ability, you can do it in 4 chunks of ten, or 8 chunks of 5.

i hope this works for all of you!

alright im having serious problems, problem number one, ive bottomed out, no matter what i do, i stay the same. i really cant say i care about numbers, they dont exactly mattter. im 15yrs, 5'11" and weight like 155. everybody goes around telling me i have the "model type" body that everyones dying to have, ive just got the hourglass figure, doesnt mean im thin... the way im built i should weight like 145 possibly 150 and thats if its muscle. i would be totally fine i just want to tighten up my belly and lose the little bump i currrently have. ive done everything from up my exercise to changing my diet and reducing my food intake (more like starving my self...) so im in a rutt and dont know what to do. any suggestions?

What I do is eat as little as possible, and only eat when my tums growls, and then I only eat a little after that! I usually eat between 200-700calories a day and i am just shedding the pounds! Like 4 pounds a week! And I go on youtube and add taebo and pilates onto my playlist, and I do those every night! One day I will run around the block 4-5 times and before or after that I will do the 10- 30 minutes and then the day after I will do 10- 30 minutes of taebo and th pilates, and not run! And I find that it is a must that i stay under 1000 calories! And even if it is a salad you are eating, don't eat a lot of it all at one time! THINK ABOUT IT! How do horses get fat!?! GRASS!!!!!!!! And trying to just stay active and switching over to override mode! A.K.A. POWER WALK< JOGGING< RUNNING!!!!!

I used to eat low calories (like under 800, sometimes under 500). The thing is although you lose weight after a few weeks you stop losing weight, and you don' have as good energy and concentration.

I think you are better of eating normal calories (I keep mine around 1000 - 1200) and then one or two days a week have only fruit days. I try to do that if I can be diligent enough.

Anyway, about a month ago I lost 5kg but then I had holidays and lately I have had headaches and schoolwork and haven't been eating greatly, but I weighed myself last night and I haven't put any weight back on!

I know that doesn't sound like a win for people but for me it is. I have been eating badly and I was expecting to weigh heaps more.

You prob lost mostly muscle eating as little as you do and working out .


The key is eat healthy as much as you like ( 3-6 times a day!) and be active!!!!!
And CARBS ARE GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!! Its fuel for your body! I bet all of you feed your horses to a strict feed based on what their bodies need to be at their best. Do your research and do the same for your self .

Dont look up diets !!!! Diets are a load of crap ! I lost 30kg in a year just eating healthier ( not too much processed foods but still some :P) and being more active. Parking my car a little further from the shops for eg! Socialising with friends , BBQ , Beach ,& riding . Its not that hard you just need to change your life style a bit and forget about loosing weight for 6months . Stressing about you weight is and nasty circle .... you can gain weight by doing it !
Just enjoy life and you will soon love being active and before you know it your clothes dont fit

Oh and incase some people on here dont know... the more muscle you have the more fat your body burns & the higher your resting metabolism is( calories burnt while sitting on your butt doing nothing) ! And dont worry bout getting too muscley ! It takes years to get a body builders physic!

The biggest fat burners are your legs!

Okay so my short term goal is to lose 15lbs, long term is 25lbs. The first week of changing my eating habits I lost three pounds. Good start I think! I weigh 160 right now (ugh). If I can lose at least two a week that would be awesome. I eat only when I'm hungry and only enough to not be hungry anymore (healthy food), as well as go for walks every day. My vice is soda. I probably have like one glass a day, but still. I need to work on cutting it out entirely.

I'll try to keep updated about this as I really want to lose this weight. I'm happy with myself, but have been wanting to do this for a year now and finally seriously am.
:]

Okay, this is an awesome idea. Totally joining . I'm 14, 5'6 and 136 pounds. I've been walking 1 mile and 1/5--up our mountain drive way-- for three weeks and have lost 4 pounds so far--I use to be 140--. I haven't really been eating any differently so I'm really excited about loosing those 4 pounds. I eat pretty healthy but if I don't excersize then I gain pounds. I'd really like to lose 11 more pounds--which would put me at 125-- and muscle up.

i litterally have an addiction to chocolate, no joke. any tips to curb that?? lol

Fat free or Sugar free chocolate.
