| Young Calorie Counters | does anybody else have a flabby stomach like this? | Jun 30 2009 22:49 (UTC) |

Original Post by garnet18: YES YES and YES. I'm between 116- 118, and I don't believe I would be so concerned with my weight if it wasn't for my stomach. I'm not sure if it's fat... I kinda yo-yo on what I eat. (not like yo-yo dieting, I just eat less some weeks, than more others.) I drink plently of water though. Recently, I've been cutting out extra sugar and doing a few toning exersises, and it's been giving me more of the curvy/lean muscle look to that area. hah Hope this helps some!

Original Post by gakeller: Aha. I've been mistaken for a vegetarian more than once :) And I LOVE steamed broccoli. Lemon juice is like an alternative to olive oil for me. But if olive oil wasn't so high cal, I would probably use it more often. Thanks for the ideas...anyone have any squash ones? We have a bunch just sitting in the fridge. |

Original Post by bennyboy5: "I think I'm at the point where I am losing fat and gaining muscle." You're fifteen. Your body is maturing and that's what happens when you are healthy. I mean no offense, and it is good that you are concerened with being healthy...just make sure that it is healthy, not fitting a perfect image when your body is still changing. -Tahlia |

Voice. I don't even know how to explain it to myself. I'm not even saying singing, just his normal talking voice.

I have a small bone structure. (found using the 'wrap hand around wrist' test, and the fact that I just know I have one) So I AM ten pounds overweight even if my BMI says otherwise... Here goes: I'm 5'3, 118 pounds, US pants size 2-4, tops I am in-between a small and medium. Cross between an hourglass and apple. Sounds nice, but I'm carrying a-little-more-than-healthy weight around. It would be awesome if anyone here was my twin in measurements! |

Congratulations :)
And about it balancing out...I'm not completely sure what you mean, but I'll try to give you an answer. Keeping a routine like that is healthy, but also vigorous. I don't know what your weight is, or how much more you were planning on losing, or if your goal is gaining muscle and losing fat, but I do know that the only way you will reach a place where you are maintaining a specific weight is when the number of calories you eat equal the number you burn. (but you probably already knew this...) Right now it sounds like you are burning more than taking in, so at this rate you will keep losing. So once you reach a weight or fitness level your happy with, loosen up a little. A little. By this I mean you can maintain the weight by bumping up your calorie intake slightly, OR cutting back on the exercise. Remember, once you reach your goal, you can get out of lose-weight-diet mode, and just live a healthy life. I know this was realllllllllly long, but hopefully helpful? |

Have you ever heard of anything called the French woman's diet? It's not like an actual diet plan though, it's a lifestyle. For example, start thinking of food as a natural part of your life that you share with your friends and family. Eat just the right portion, enjoy the cake but eat it slowly...you wind up getting MUCH more satisfaction out of everything, and while staying thin. One of the phrases from the book is "French women think about good things to eat; American women typically worry about bad things to eat". I just found this so interesting because it shows how corrupted the relationship many people have with food is, and how we can follow the lead of other's who don't have a society stuffed with Dunkin Donuts advertisements.

There's no one easy answer for this, and different things work for different people. (I'll just get to some advice now. hah.) 1. Try separating your food from his. Sure you have to share the same fridge, but just make a clear line down the middle. The fault in this is that it requires self-control...but what doesn't. It might be somewhat of a help to see clearly the 'good' and the 'bad'. 2. Keep frozen yogurt or something crave-worthy. So if you unfortunatley are forced to watch him eat a bowl of ice-cream, you can grab your frozen yogurt. (I know this is weird, but try pretending that he is eating something healthy like you are...) 3. I know screaming at them to stop buying tempting junk is out of the question, so instead, maybe try introducing them to some of your stuff. |
