Skinny fat girls?

I'm reaching out to you. It's that annoying point where you're too thin to be considered overweight, but still not quite in shape. I only have about five pounds to lose, and it's the hardest thing I've ever done. I'd love to find someone who's also struggling with the same thing. Any takers for some motivation?

ok so the weather here where i live is horrible!! and i can't get outside!! i don't know what to do, i don't have gym access, except for the weight machine in the garage, which i use 2 times a week. on sunday i ran 4 miles in 30 min. which is my greatest time ever! then on monday i had soccer practice, on tuesday i rode my bike like 6 or 7 miles and jogged one, but on wednesday i got my driver's permit and was out drinving until it was too dark to go outside, so i went and worked out in the garage. today i got home and drocve for an hour, ate dinner and went to a basketball game, and here i am with homework to do! what do you guys do when you can't go outside?? how much should you eat if you can't do anything? i try to do jumping jacks on commercials and then crunches and sit-ups the rest of the time while i watch tv. how many calories would i burn diong jumping jacks, and are they considered cardio??? sorry with all the questions!

So i get all you girls we are all on the same boat. I am 5'0 ( actually 4'11 3/4") YES i know...but get over it!  I am at 122 lbs wear typically size 5 or 6 depending on material of clothing.  I have the belly fat and hate it.. I have been trying to eat better and i have gotton more active. I do yoga 2 or three times a week, play/practice volleyball 2 times a week for about 1.5 hours (but its non-competitve, play for a city league).  I try to be as active as possible. I have the belly fat and the hips. i don't mind the weight i am at. I just want to have a flatter  lower belly. If often looks like i am bloated and when i'm bloated it looks even work. I can't fit into my size 4 pants because i have the "muffin top" which i hate. Recently, i started to have the "muffin top" on my size 5 pants and the size 6 pants are too big. But again depends on the brand of pants.  I also work about 8-9 hours a day and try to do the most activity i can during work. Although it is very hard because when i get in "THE ZONE" i don't leave my desk unless to copy something or go to the R.R. Oh i also drink lots of water during the day. But once i get home...the water goes out the door as well as during the wknd. I hate the winter and normally thats when i get really lazy but i'm trying to change that attitude. Oh i also forgot i go paintballing once every two month and let me tell you that is the BEST work out ever. It works out every muscle!! i promis. Especially your back and legs. I really like this website and maybe this will help me keep the wait and lose the UGLY waist/belly fat.

I say get yourself involved in some city sport league or at your office. I used to play softball with the guys and girls at work. That seemed to keep me busy at least once or twice a week. I know what you mean. I look good, have a cute little body, but it just the belly area (mainly the lower part) i believe it is called the abdomen.

Wow there are lots of us! Joining in, I am tallish at 5ft 9" so everyone thinks I'm fine, but after putting on weight over the last year I'm now at 140lbs and my clothes are...shall we say "snug". I just want to lose 7lbs but I've got a feeling it's going to take a while... 

I love this.  I too am a skinny/fat girl.  I am 5' 3" and I weigh somewhere around 103 to 100.  I would like to weigh 95 but I don't think its possible. And, I don't think that will make my cellulite go away.  I am almost 30 and I have a 17 month old, work full time, and I have a wonderful husband.  So, with that being said exercising is hard.  I am just working on my diet as much as possible and trying to avoid sugar.  I do have an elliptical but I use it maybe once a week. My biggest problems are my hips and butt.  I have cellulite in/on those areas that will not GO AWAY!!!  People think I'm crazy because my weight is normally around 100, so talking about it is hard.  I get the "oh Amy, you're just worrying about nothing" but to me it is something that I think about a lot and it does bother me. Just glad to see that I'm not alone!  Thanks

Count me in as well! :D

I'm 5"1 and weigh roughly 115lbs (down from 120 thanks to CC). People will see me cutting back on my eating and will tell me that there's no reason to do it, and that I'm "skinny enough". While I do agree that I'm thin, underneath my clothes is a little flabby and I'd kind of like to lose the flab. :P I'm not doing anything drastic; just cutting my calories a little bit, cutting back on the junk and eating more of the healthy stuff. My goal is to be able to wear a bikini by the summer. Good luck all!

Girls!

Since the time I started this thread, I've dropped down to 118!!!!!!!!

My clothes are fitting so much better, and my confidence has sky rocketed!

I'm in shock, actually. I didn't change my eating habits much, just cut out pop, diet pop, and fried foods. I did go to the gym six days a week, but I didn't expect it to work so quickly.

THERE IS HOPE!!!!

Congrats siren!!

Ok, this may sound RIDICULOUS! But I want to lose 2  lbs, that is all. I'm like 117 and I want to be 115. It's really annoying! My body is prolly just telling me to shut up and be happy, but I can't until I lose those last 2 lbs! Ugh! Oh, and I'm 5"6.

I love this thread. I'm 5'1", 16 (well, 17 in a month or so) and 115lbs. Because I'm a healthy BMI, it's really hard to loose weight, and I hate it! I don't care as much about the scale as I do feeling good about my body, but I really want to make some of the fat on my legs into muscle.

hey

well im new to all this being open about wanting to lose weight and actually going as far as to creating an account to talk about but okay so heres my story

ive been a skinny fat girl ALL MY LIFE AND I HATE IT!!!

so im  15, short (149 cm - not even 5ft) so i guess thats another reason that people dont really say anything about my weight but id love to lose 10 pounds!!

i mean for the past 2 years ive been trying that but like i dont wanna do dieting

so anyway my goal is to reach 40kg in time for my year 12 ball

and i really dont know hhow to start

thats me im only 104lbs(underweight for my height) but i have a high body fat percentage

last time i had it taken it was at 26% im hoping it was pff because i overestimated my weight when it was taken, i told the guy i was heavier than i was.

skinny fattie whoda thunk it :P

yeah.. i'm at a healthy weight but i have globs of fat and skin all over the place :T

it's really gross, and i don't know how to get rid of it. my parents aren't even supportive. my dad knows a lot about gym-related stuff and he hates it when i talk to him about what i should do to get rid of my flab.

i'm with you guys. i'm 5'7'' and weigh 135lbs [sounds like so much compared to ya'll] . everyone is like "but lauren your not fat, you don't need to lose weight". well they can tell me that until they are blue in the face but i'm not going to believe them. lol. but everytime i try on a pair of jeans and they are not a comfortable size 5 i'm freakin pissed again =]. i just want to be happy, and i won't be until i am and maintain 125.

yup, i'm 5'2 and 110 lbs. i used to maintain around 100-105 lbs until the last 3 months when i've been under a lot of stress! i'm not unhappy now but i want to fit back into my regular size XS sizes :)

Agreed... I wear size small and size 3-5 in jeans and stuff but I still don't feel confident. i just want to be confident dammit! I still have 8-12 lbs to lose. :/
