Fitness Help! Started pilates and my shape has become boxier! How can I reverse the effects? Aug 28 2009

I don't hate my abs completely. I just feel like I built them the wrong way. I feel like I worked up my obliques too much to the expense of everything else. Like it would be nice to start from scratch because I might want to work my abs in a different way (not with home DVDs like I did this time) and get the look I want. I don't want a boxy look, I want a "tight" look I feel pilates botched.  And I checked out the people (ex: celebrities, friends who work out) who have the abs I like and their workouts usually incorporate weights, etc. I didn't use any weights whatsoever.

Yes, I want my abs gone. They're not killer, but I want the little I've developped gone. My goal is not to be sedentary. I do want to lose weight but only to be able to climb up the stairs at school and not be out of breath; basically, to be that much in shape. The only problem is I don't want abs period. It's weird to explain. I pretty much do jump rope and that's all I do to stay in shape. However, this time I added pilates and I don't like the results. I want to "start over" again in the sense that I want to go back to just having a flat stomach and no abs, but somewhat in shape (not out of breath climbing up the stairs, etc.).

But I have no idea how to reverse the effects completely. That's what I meant by regaining weight because I read on some sites regaining fat is the worst thing that can happen or not maintaining them are the worst things that can happen to abs or any other developped muscles. It's like a reverse psychology thing seeing as the info I found was for people who wanted to know how to maintain their muscle mass but I want to do the opposite. 

I just want to know if it's guaranteed my abs will disappear if I stop pilates (stop maintaining them) and just continue with cardio and my diet like usual? Or do I have to regain some weight (then turning the abs to fat) so I can rid myself of the abs once I try to relose that weight. And I was only planning on regaining 2-5 pounds. I definitely don't want to undo my hard work.

No, not look like her. It's the other dress styles I want.

But is it okay to do Pilates many times a week or should I do less as well because of my body type? Or will it just make me get lean muscle faster?

No, I wasn't. I did however go to an agency once and they told me I could do plus size modelling.

Well, actually the height thing isn't a problem anymore. It's the frame. I just feel like I shouldn't be both: tall and wide so I feel huge compared to all the other girls at school. I don't see anyone else with my frame except boys so I feel too huge for a girl.

Yes, I actually thought models weighed very little but after looking at my favorite models' stats, they weigh from 125-130. But I just feel so big and I just want to look thin for once in my life. My sisters are thinner and I just feel like I'm the only one in the family like this.
