Haha i know the statistics say thats 5ft 6 and 135 is a perfect weight, but as i work for a performing arts company, body shape and size is hugeeeee issue.

i like the other girls here i think, would like to loose cm of inches in certain areas rather than loose weight. toning by going to the gym would infact possible induce a weight gain yet produce an overall impression of being "smaller"

That is my aim. It's not necessarily the number but the appearance. The number is really not a constructive measure for everyone because what looks healthy on one person can look atrocious on another!!!

hi eleanor_morris :) of course you can join us.

My best guess with your weight is that your struggling to loose weight because your in the right zone for your body - i mean you weigh the same as us but are 2 inches taller so maybe your body is unwilling to loose any actual weight? and i totally agree - maybe toning muscles would give the appearance of having lost weight if your body won't let you loose it?

hahaha its so much easier just to sit on the couch and have fun isn't it? I do lots of dancing, jazz ballet hiphop tap contemporary. and i work for a performing arts company so its a pretty active lifestyle. If you think your dedicated enough to do that dance video at least every second day by yourself at home go for it, but i know personally i would never do it - thats why i spent that extra bit of money and joined a gym, especially since its a ladies only gym and they really monitor you there, like they check how many times you've gone in a week and stuff if you want them to.

Is there maybe a local sports team your can join? or like, can you ski or surf or something? (i don't know if its even winter where you are, but i spent the weekend skiing and gosh, that was a workout if i've ever seen one!!)

eeek this is to jackattack still, couldn't work out how i got all that othre writing on my other one -

where does it say she's asking how to continue eating only 300 calories?

i thought she was asking for a way to stop her nightly binge, hence the obvious suggestion was to eat a few more calories during the day, by eating a more varied amount of food?

Also, if she does have an eating disorder do you think you could be a little more considerate?

your blunt comments certainly wouldn't do anything to help her, or "snap" her out of this mindset, - maybe your comments are unneccessary?

okay okay chill, this not a necessary discussion if all you're here to do is tell me i'm wrong. However i'm a little confused to how you can say all this, when it is well advertised for people to wear support bandages and ankle braces etc when running - isn't it all to help support the foot when our structures can't take the forces we're exerting through them!?

I will not go "running" in barefeet in a million years because i'm being taught that it can cause problems. And i know you've produced a newspaper article to try and convince me otherwise, but i personally would prefer to believe the educated physiotherapists that are teaching my course!

Just to prove my point, Here is a medical journal article, which clearly explains that running shoes are created to aid the natural shapes of people's feet, as they support the foot in ways that our ligaments can't.

*Sorry to the lovely person who made this discussion that we've hijacked, i hope the original information is somewhat helpful :) :) :)

Hey, no one's calling you immature, i'm sure all of us can totally imagine how you feel. Not only is the rest of the world constantly judging you, but your mother is also putting pressure on when she should be one of the most reliable people you can always turn to!

My best suggestion is find a friend. sure. thats not easy either. but i figure it'll help you.  and i also would have said a whole lot more than "bitch" to my mother!

I've got quite the opposite problem. My mother is classified as "obese" and she constantly tells me that i'm skinny enough. It's always "Eat something more than lettuce you stupid self obsessed girl" or "Your lying, i know you didn't stop at Mc Donald's on the way home" or "Don't try and fool me, your eating this piece of cake because we don't want you to relapse"

I supose there's just really no way to win is there?

Really?!

Because we did a case study on it a few weeks ago, and a particular issue was that the man was running in dunlop volleys - not suitable shoes for running any sort of distance!

And having bad running shoes stops the forces exerted by the body when in motion being spread evenly through the feet and often results in the arches of a person's foot altering - hence playing a part in plantar fasciitis.

I'm nearly 100% sure that wearing runners ( i'm wearing $15 runners at the moment, but they're at least a little supported ) is beneficial for the body's biomechanics!

Hiii, i'm a physiotherapy student, so i'm learning about this at the moment!

From what it sounds like, your ligaments that surround you hip joint ( ililofemoral, ischiofemoral and pubofemoral ligament - in particular pubofemoral ligament) are trapping small pockets of air which make the popping sound.

This is most likely due to a ligament sprain (pretty much like what your ankle can get) and hence can be very painful. the pain can also be produced when the ligament is taught - when you raise your leg to the front your putting that ligament under pressure to stretch - hence the pain.

I'd advice maybe taking a week or two off of running, i know this isn't such a great suggestion since you've only recently started, but resting the ligament will be the only way to allow it to heal.

There are no specific exercises or anything you can do to fix ligament sprains, especially those of the hip, although strengthening the muscles around the hip joint such as iliospoas ( connects torso to leg on the front) and all your gluteal muscles would certainly not hurt.

On the issue of running shoes - i would really really really advise buying a pair of proper runners- they don't need to be the most expensive but wearing bad running shoes will certainly increase the risk of other painful injuries in the future!!!

Hope that helps a little bit.

Hi hi hi!

I'll be your buddy - i'm 5'6 and 132 lbs.

Personally i REALLY want to get down to 120 ( i used to be 110 but people forced me to eat due to suspicion of an eating disorder)

Tell me what you are planning on doing to loose weight/ be healthier? hahaha

Hey guys.

I hate to say it, but i've just learnt about this for my uni course, and the reason we all have this issue is because of our bone shape.

People's bone shapes are all slightly different, just like our heights are different, and hence some people's hips are more prominent than others.

Reducing weight will infact reduce the "love handle" type of look, but ultimately, we are all blessed with a nice curvy frame that can certainly look extremely hot (especially minus the love handles concept!)

I agree though. buying clothes to fit sucks.

For how long did you gain weight and how fast did you start loosing again doug8120?

i'd just like to say i'm supremely jealous of all of your who have such great sense of what your body needs to survive and not gain weight.

i've screwed mine over, and now i can't just eat normally because my body does not allow me to register when i've had enough.

will there ever be a stage at which i can just stop thinking about maintaining weight?!

congrats to all of you :)

oops maybe i did, and

i decided to keep it

because low fat is the largest ocn there is

calorie count is still almost the same

fat being replaced by a carbs makes no difference

 It is easier to burn off carbs than it is pure fat.

You clearly have not thought reasonably before opening your ridiculous mouth, nor done any sort of research to back up your outrageous claims.

so in the words of Thumper from the kids movie Bambi :

"if you ain't got nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all"

:)

haha i completely forgot that you'd loose a little weight simply because it is hotter.

i'm a lucky one, because i'm finishing year 12 tomorrow :) so i can exercise when ever i want, except i'm only 17 and obviously don't have a license.

so normally i've been exercising like mad during the day but i didn't even think of maybe doing it after dinner.

And the beach is a definate, i'm living at the beach for the next two months so its going to be spectacular :)

thanks :)

i'm so happy for you :)

thats a huge acheivment, you should be extremely proud of yourself.

and to turn your weight around after 12 years is a truely miraculous feat that should be definatly somethign to gloat about :)

Unless of course, your a drug addict, alcoholic, or abusive....

 

D'oh!  Is that a problem?  (Just kidding.  No drugs, very little alcohol and I don't use physical discipline, so abuse is not a problem.  I learned about the latter two from my mom, and don't want to repeat her mistakes.)

 tee hee :) i knew you seemed fine, HELLO, you clearly care about your relationship with your kids. I can promise you almost 100% that by the time your kids are 20 they'll love you to pieces :)
