-
Hi
Well, most people tell me that i look ok. When I tell my classmates tt i have a tummy.. most didnt believe.. i am a sporty gal. perhaps tt's y... I have tried many ways to lose those extra inches around my waist. Tried slimming in beauty salons.. it worked... but the unfortunate thing was i onli got 2cm off. the fortunate thing is tt the 2cm is off permanently. I have tried doing sit ups for the front and the sides. but it doesnt seem to work. my fren told me tt doing too many situps may cause u to build so much muscles that ur fats wrapping around those muscles will look more bulky. is it true? do anyone have gd ideas on how to get rid of those extra inches off my waist? i wanan fit into my bikini soon... sice i finish my A levels.. wanan head to the beach.. but with tt tummy, i realli got no confidence.. should i try those slimming creams and pills like tuimmy trim? anyone tried? does it work? -

Correct.... I can't stand girls who are obssessed with losing weight just to look good. Believe me, once you get into the trap of losing weight, it's hard to break out of the vicious cycle. No matter how much weight you lose, you'll keep thinking that it's not enough.Originally posted by pete98:Well said.

One of my men lost nearly 30 kg during BMT and its aftermath. Yet he keeps insisting that he's fat (his BMI is 21.5...... perfectly normal) and keeps burning his meagre NSF pay on those stupid diet pills endorsed by those bimbotic MediaCorp stars (flame me all you want..... I'll still utterly condemn those bloody pills and the people who endorse them).
Anyway, you yourself said that your friends are ok with your appearance. So what's the problem?!?!?!
What's your height and weight? Do tell us so that we can give a more well-informed piece of advice. -
Well, seriously. I don't see a problem.
If you look good to your friends, and you feel that you're still fat... Its all in the mind girl. After all, you don't expose your waist to everyone right? (Unless of course, you're one of those who wear exposing shirts and all).
In fact, there's this stupid belief in many girls i've talked to, that they're fat. Its really ridiculous, because they do not, and are definately not fat. They then try to waste lots of $$ trying to slim down, when there's nothing to!
Besides, men aren't looking for perfectly thin women, some fats in the right places are good.
Just know that if you've tried your best, and it still doesn't work, and its not a problem to anyone but yourself, you should probably move on~! -
hmm..
guys will never understand.
helo ger, try trimslim? heard it's pretty useful.

Sit ups alone don't help in reducing fats. you have to do exercises like jogging, swimming, brisk-walking for at least half an hour.
Also, as much as you do situps, don't forget to exercise your back to balance out. A strong back will improve posture. Sometimes the tummy is because of the slouch you have. Stand up straight and maybe the 'tummy' will disappear.
Sucking in also helps strengthen the traverse muscles. Traverse muscles are core muscles which is also vital for good posture. -
i suggest you can try out gym. sure can tone up. n slim down.

You can START with JOGGING and other AEROBIC EXERCISES.. Even if you don't slim down, at least they'll keep you HEALTHY YEAH...??Originally posted by cOnFuSiOn:Hi

...WAtaH~~~~~~~~
seriously,just do cardio....n crunches to gain tummy muscles to help reduce the waistline -
hey... i used to be really fat, but i lost 16 kg in 3 months.... haha
blame track n field training
anyway, just go running/swimming more often to raise your metabolism (one misconception is that running BURNS off lots of calories, meaning you can pig out. that's false, a 3km run would burn around 300 calories, equivalent to a bowl of maggee mee, which isn't really worht the effort.) however, aerobic exercise helps you raise your metabolism, meaning that even after working out, you burn more calories while at rest.
diet- never skip breakfast. try to eat less for dinner, and never snack or have supper after 8pm. the idea being, u eat earlier in the day, your body burns it off while you go around doing your thing. eat too close to the night, all the energy released by the food is unused while you sleep, and gets stored as fat.
personal reccommendation- pick up a sport. running after a ball is more exciting than just running aimlessly, thus is less mentally demanding. in fact, you might even find it enjoyable if you are sporty. -
nope... well, i'm a sports person... i dun think i can ever look like bones. firstly, becoz i dun think it looks good... secondly, i prefer bay watch gals rather than models... those skinny legs are a no no to me... my waistline is 27.5 inches now.. and tt is kinda big for a gal, isn't it? i used to be slimer... just got fat i dunno how after last year's end of year exam...Originally posted by KumSioJui:jogging can burn ah .. but must patient.

BMT.

Pardon the lame pun, Confusion, but you are a really confused girl.
For goodness' sake, there's nothing wrong with your body!!!!
Everyone says you're waistline is perfectly all right, so what is the bloody problem?!?!?!
It's all in the mind, lady. Your mind.
Don't bother changing your body, it's already good enough as it is.
Just change your mentality. -
Anorexia or Bulimia are good, very effective
