It's fine.Ask me a question. I like giving advice. If you don't like the advice I give, or the opinion I have, it's fine.
Sometimes you can't get through to people no matter how long and hard you try.
advice
hey everyone,
okay so i am 5 feet 4 inches(female) and I used to weigh 115lbs, and I was happy with the way I looked..I felt healthy. I have gained some weight recently and I now weigh 124lbs. Now, I am not saying that I am fat or anything like that..but I am skinny and than I have this tummy pudge and I have wide hips (love them) soo..basically I just need some fast ways to shape my tummy pudge...I just don't like it hanging over my pants and it ups my pant size from a 3 to a 5...ideas???
What really helps your stomach is drinking water. You should drink at least eight glasses of water a day. I advise to stay away from carbonated beverages, such as soda, as well as really sugary fruit drinks.
However, just cutting soda out of your diet isn't enough. You should exercise. Even if it's just taking a walk around your neighborhood, so be it. It's exercise, which will definitely help.
Also, I'd suggest crunches or sit-ups to build muscle. Running will trim your fat, but crunches will help to build and tone muscle. Or so I've heard. But cardio is by far the best thing for you. For anyone really.
Keep to a healthy diet. Don't eat a lot of junk food such as greasy potato chips, sugary candy, etc. Of course you can have some on occasion. But you definitely shouldn't eat it everyday, all day. Everything is good for you...in moderation.
Sometimes what gets people when planning to eat right and exercise is this: Thinking that just because they made a healthy choice in one aspect, they can make an unhealthy choice in another. But the fact is that diet and exercise just doesn't work like that. You can't balance out lack of activity with steering clear of soda or cookies. Of course it's okay to slip now and then. We're only human. But don't make it a habit to try and "make up" for slipping more in one area.
Here's a website I recommend a lot called My Pyramid Plan. It lets you enter your height and weight into the chart and it comes up with what your body needs specifically, because everybody's different.

The important this with the website is to be honest when filling out you weight/height/physical activity.
Good luck!
