and then listening to all the talk about the ideal waistline...my waistline is not ideal then! hahahahaha!!! so i must jia you bah! *nods* ^^ -
there're more serious problems than a couple of extra inches around the waist....

if you think you're fat, you're fat.
i'm fat
that's why i have to slim down! -
are u a gal? haha... i concur!!!!Originally posted by foxwalk:can u imagine a girl with the same waistline as u. women have smaller biceps and many other things than men, how can women have the same expectations of waistlines as men??
it is quite horrifying... to have a wasit of 30' for a girl..
-
well, i guess it all comes down to how's ur figure is like. say if u're a big guy with big biceps, very broad shoulders... having a very small waistline like 28 may not make u look tt good... but if u're a smaller size guy with a figure that's as petite as some gals, den having a small waistline like 28 will suit u, wouldnt it? o btw, 28 is small for a guy, not a gal... well, the same goes for gals.... and i belong to the bigger size gals with broader shoulders but not the extent of the national swimmers of coz... and having a straight figure when u look from the back or the front, makes me look "wide".... i have fats on the sides.. think u call them the obliques? tt's wad bothering me... i can pinch the fats and see how good i will look with less of them.... so... i havent got much suggestions on how to lose those weights.. and i stress again i'm not keen on losing weight... after all, muscles weigh heavier than fats... i already have my share of muscles.... since i usd to play a sports for sch before i stopped for exams... used to go gym like once or twice a week, training 3 times a week and another day for some physicals on the track.. is tt hiong or wad?Originally posted by pete98:Now this is the part that puzzles us guys. If we don't see you as fat in the first place, how does becoming thinner makes you more attractive to us? Its like some of those bodybuilding guys who becomes so obsessive with their body that they execise until the veins is visible. Is that pleasent to look at? Anyway usually only skinny guys have a waist of 28-29 so girl with waist of 26-27 still ok what. -
so wad's ur waistline and wad do u plan to do? dun worry.. i'm a gal with tummy.. wont laff at u... actually my tummy isnt tt visible from side view... quite lat actually.. it's the sides that bothers me.. no matter how much situps i do, only the front will flatten... nth has changed on my sides...Originally posted by applesweetgirl:ah!!! same same same!!

27.5 makes some people look like Bamboo Poles, but to others, causes them to look like overweight couch potatoes.Originally posted by KumSioJui:ARE YOU GERS NUTS? 27.5 is very thin already, when I entered army my waist was 30 and I was very skinny tik kor
How do you define how much is thin?
Height. IS. A factor.

Dental cavities, sensitivity to hot or cold food.
Swelling and soreness in the salivary glands (from repeated vomiting).
Stomach Ulcers.
Ruptures of the stomach and esophagus.
Abnormal buildup of fluid in the intestines.
Disruption in the normal bowel release function.
Electrolyte imbalance.
Dehydration
Irregular heartbeat and in severe cases heart attack
A greater risk for suicidal behavior
Decrease in libido

p.s. my girl's got a tummy and i find it perfectly alright..cuz it's not like she's extremely overweight or anything..why should i be bothered by it?
wake up girlies. your guy shouldn't really mind if he really cares for u. ._. -
I'm also very particular about tummy. There are three things I will not doOriginally posted by cOnFuSiOn: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.
should i try those slimming creams and pills like tuimmy trim? anyone tried? does it work?
after a meal because I beleive it contributes to the tummy.
1) No sitting (for at least 30mins)
2) No sleeping
3) No showering
I used to do 200 crunches a day. It helps.
Now, due to laziness, I am using the elastic OSIM magnetic strip belt
to wrap around my waist for 2 hrs every nite. It helps to tone up
as well.

Slim bodies are no longer what only girls desire .. we guys want it too~~
i have a very fat tummy as well.. and what i can say is ..
If u want to exercise to lose weight .. u can ..
But to burn fats in certain areas .. u do until u die also cant succeed one .
As for dieting pills .. they dont work .
I tried Duromine , Minus Fat , Tummi - trim .. blah - blah ..
They all dont work .. the diet pills claim to regulate fat elsewhere .. but what happens seems like the fat does get regulated .
But not away from the tummy .. but from other places to the tummy !! AhhHhH~~~~!!!
Beauty salons .. i dont think they are open for guys .. and guys dont patronize them too ..
So i keep looking for ways to trim it down .. so i learnt that ..
The CONFIRM + GUARANTEE + CHOP , Sure WORK method to lose all those fat one go ... is to... CUT THEM OUT !!
Take them outta yr body once & for all !!
& here is where liposuction & abdominoplasty comes in ..
I think these methods u SURE will have results .. since u are taking the fats out of you ..
Only thing is they are very expensive ... few thousand dollars for the surgery fee . But i think if u go to a beauty salon u will spend maybe thousand plus dollars and achieve only minor results ..
I rather spend a bit more to achieve major ones lo . Bad thing about it is .. u will have some scarring .
No weight loss programs can guarantee results forever la .. But i think taking all yr fat away at one go .. it sure will take hell long for them to regenerate again .
And i found out that if u go to do these surgical procedures in countries like Thailand , the costs will be much cheaper than doing it in Singapore .
I know girls wont like scarring la .. but if u have tried every available way to slim down and still cant .. This can prove to be a last resort & desperate measure lo .
And i want to try it out too .. But i need to save up $$ . Pls hope for me that i save enough and can get rid of this spare tyre for good . Like that i can have more confidence to fit in clothes , and be more comfortable with my friends & gf lo . -
Tummy trim? slimming pill? etc. etc.. not a good idea.. exercise will help you out and is free of charge..Originally posted by cOnFuSiOn: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?
if you eat, please do not sit down immediately and watch TV after lunch or heavy meals - coz this will slow down the process of your food in your body and it will develop fats around your waist and hips or thighs, remember to eat moderately and exercise regularly, drink only after your meals...
we ladies tend to have fats around our tummy and thighs and legs etc very easily so make sure you don't really sit down after any meals, do something like you know..
Running or jogging helps to burn fats and you must do this regularly for at least 1hr or 30 mins and don't forget to do some stretching, legs and thighs or inner thigh stretching, incline sit ups..
just a minor tips here for you and I hope you like it .. well are you there?
Doing crunches on helps to build up stomach muscles but not tummy lah,

Everytime I skip one or two meals, I will lose like 1 inch...
But yes I am obsessed, But not as obsessed as a fren who takes her weight every morning and every nite. I dun have a weighing scale. But when I put on weight it's always ard the waist. When I can make my tummy flat again, i will lose like 2-3 kg.. and I don't think I'm thin, I wish i were but I ain't.
Sometimes I have high metabolism, sometimes not. But I do take stairs when I can, drink a lot, avoid freid stuff but I do still have them like every week or so. The thing abt me is I hate snacking. If I';m hungry, I'd not eat unless I get a full meal. I seldom snack, but I get gastric pains by not snacking (sometimes no cooked food is availible). If I';m hungry but cooked food is not available and I'm home, I will just have milk or something. When I'm out, I just drink water. Not taking soft drinks help too. -
Do not skip your meals, you can eat but eat healthy food, if you wana loose some weights then you have to eat less carbo, a well balance of vegies and other healthy food in your daily meal, and don't forget to eat fruits as well, and exercise will help too. You can either steam or boil your meals(home made) that's already good for you.Originally posted by foxwalk:Everytime I skip one or two meals, I will lose like 1 inch...

If you are hungry at night or in between lunch or dinner, try to eat fruits eg. apple, oranges, bananas that will do. If you go out for an outing, you can also bring along some healthy snacks or sandwiches for yourself rather than starving yourself the whole day and if you starve yourself all the time, this might affect your daily health and the way you perform at work too.
It's the way we eat affect our way of thinking and affect our performance in the office etc. So be careful of what you eat, always focus on fruits and vegies and a well balance diet.
Well you have to start now try to eat something healthy during your meals..
OK enough of this I hope my tips help you alot, have a healthy lifestyle day. -
I don't really like the idea of eating pills to get slim down. Cos probably there will be side-effects. Like the slim 10 case... eat till she suffered from liver problem. It's like risking life to slim down. So I suggest u to try out some practical ways like jogging, standing up straight at all times(tummy in chest out), eat lesser for dinner, lesser junk food, or go on a diet. Diet means eat less, not skip meals. But I have this friend of mine who drinks this particular slimming tea, she slims down her TUMMY after sometime. I asked her if she has any side effects like feeling thristy or having migrain or something, she said no. So maybe u can try out slimming tea.

Confusion,
In order to lose body weight, u must take in lesser calories than the total calories that ur body nid daily....... but i think it should not b lesser than 1500 calories for it to remain healthy....... Try eating less cabo such as rice and eat more vegs n fruits...... Drinking water oso helps to keep u full...... On the whole to keep a healthy diet, u should oso try to avoid fried n oily food n take more boiled n steamed food instead......
However, diet alone is not an advisable way to keep ur waistline at bay...... u mus couple it with exercise which thankfully, u r already doing a lot of it........ Overall, aerobic exercises such as running and skipping helps u lose weight by raising ur metabolism for the day...... There's no such thing such as spot-reduction...... such as losing ur tummy only...... u can only try to lose ur overall weight n hopefully reduce ur waistline too..........
N never never sleep after taking a heavy meal........ it cause the tummy to form........ ay i was too ignorant when young....... n now hav a hard time losing it..........
Dun believe in the slimming pills.... they r not natural products....... Who noes wat might happen if u take them? Surely, u dun wan a repeat of the Slim 10 incident? Choy.......
So do try to lose weight naturally....... Ur perservance will do the trick...... Wish u all the best in ur attempt to keep a perfect waistline ok? Cheers -
didn't know got big tummy ju le bu here

FAT....can be reduce over time with the right exercise, dieting and most importantly right attitude.
Those miracles cure(quickfix) that can reduce your weight by a short time, most probably vice versa by the same rate. -
hmm .. got a method but i dunno if it works cos i haven tried it myself .. u koe tat when our heart beats at a certain rate .. it starts to burn fats n use them as energy .. so i got this from some gym forums .. saying tat if u run up fleets of stairs fast.. mayb up the way to 12 floor ? then u can push ur heart to the rate where it actually burns fats .. i have yet to try tat .. n then another is to do short distance but fast sprints continuously .. the idea is to work ur heart to the rate where it starts to burn fats .. ya .. hope it helps u ..

Most guys won't understand about this waistline thing. But HOR they will know how to comment on their respective pals that...this and that gal looks fat!Originally posted by cOnFuSiOn:ho ho... have u got any idea how a gal looks like with a 30 inch waist? guys are guys... having a v shape or just straight figure is so nomal and good enough.. but not females!!! 26 seems to be mroe acceptable for gals... 24 ideally... but less than 24 which some gals are trying to achieve is way too skinny to me... well, i'm still 1 1/2 inches away from wad most gals think is ok...
Seriously, I don't think they know how a gal look like with a 30 inch waist. Basically they will look like (thinking a celebrity) ...maybe like Irene (Rosie in Phua Chu Kang?) or somewhere near that!
Yah...to some an acceptable is about 26 inche.
I know the feeling at the waist line that you had. I used to be like that in Sec school...aout 27-29 inches. Plus the tummy factor.
*groan*. How I wish I was back to the figure that I had (w/o much tummy) 4 yrs back!!!! I don't think I can ever reach that anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (esp after 2 kids!
)

Everyone has different metabolism rate.
Some have very high and some have very low.
Some can eat the same amt as their fren but they still put on weight (there was a documentary shown few yrs back on this).
It's just cutting calories intake. You must first know what's ur metabolism is. Don't ask mi how to find that out cos I don't. That's why I am stil the same as I am.
Though I complain non-stop that I am putting on weight and have a tummy --> which is true...cny is a bad season...put on 2kg+ and can't lose it at all...that 2kg goes only to the tummy!!!!
So...find that out.
Dieting don't help 100%. U need to do some exercise such as simple crunches, side sit-ups (this helps in the curvature of the waist and hips), etc.
Best of luck!
