about

I love to play sports, and I have a slight obsession with music.

advice

I really want to work on trimming down my legs (mostly my thighs). What are some work outs that will help me with that?

ok well to trim them down i would use a bench press, this will create muscles in your legs but dont be alarmed if this gains weight- muscle weighs more than fat- and always make sure you are eating a good diet!

I eat constantly. Whenever I'm bored/tired/thinking about food, I eat. I'm not fat. I'm not skinny either I'm about 5'7 or 5'8 150 pounds. I believe that I'm gaining. I try so hard not to eat, but I end up eating in the end. I think I would be fat if it wasn't for me playing sports. I'm always worried that I'll end up being fat and slow and can't play sports but i'm always ending up eating.. how can i prevent this? Thanks in advance

ok, i know how you feel, I am the same way. But let me tell you if you do as many sports as you lead me to believe, that weight is probably muscle. But what i figured out was my problem was that i just wanted to be chewing, or having some sort of flavor, so shew gum, sugarfree preferably. If you just really want some actual food eat something healthy like bananas or celery(takes more calories to digest it that it has in it) and drink lots of water, it washes out the salty water in your body, which gets rid of lots of unneeded substances

hope this helps

OK heres the deal.
I tore my acl playing soccer. so now i'm on crutches and i cant really put any pressure on my knee. But my question is how can i work out? Cuz i have a lot of down time, and i went from playing tennis and soccer to now nothing. so i dont know what to do. any ideas that doesnt have much to do with my knee?

I was on crutches and I felt like a couch patato, so i know how youo feel. What you can do is any arm exersize, such as bench presses, lifting weights etc, as it gets better and you can put some pressure on it (i know it wil take a while) you could use a stationary bike, that will get your entire body moving, bu it will also work your kneee out pretty well, just dont start until you are told that you can at least start walking on it, if not later, u want to be careful coming back from an injusry like that, but i would definately say a stationary (or maybe even a regular, i used a stationary) bike would be good, but just make sure that it is ok with the doctor first, that that amount of pressure gets put on it

okay i'm 14 and i really want to tone up my body.. i have muscle working tapes and i do crunches, sit ups, crunch machines, squats, kicks, etc... i have a good work out plan

i'm not fat and i don't really wanna loose weight.. i just want to make my stomach flatter and hard and tone up my legs so theyre not as flabby.. kinda like jessica simpson.. she's got nice toned legs and stomach but shes not like overly thin like nicole richie..

now since i'm 14.. it's so hard to diet cause i'm growing and i havta see all my friends eat and i cant.. is there any way i can eat whatever i want and still get the body i want by just working out and not doing the diet part of it?

please give real answers.. this is really important to me

There is a way you can eat whatever you want! Its called maderation. What you do is eat whatever you want but have healthy foods also. Have that snickers bar, but have maybe one or 2 a week, or better off, on a week, and only eat half. If you think you will have to eat all salads your wrong, you need protein and other nutrience, if you are a vegetarian then eat nuts and wahtnot(ime not familiar with vegetarian foods). Feel free to have a burger or steak and patatos for dinner, but you just have to moderate everything. If you have a donut one morning, then the next have a bagel, or some fruit. Be sure to get all the nutrience you need. I would personally recomend eating what you normaly would, but maybe cutting out the soda, or every night deserts (ikf you normally do that) good luck!

I am 14 yrs. old, 5ft 3in, and 140lbs. I am soooo fat. I used to weigh more and lost a little weight which got me to where I am today but I am still extremly fat!!!! For some reason I can't lose any more weight, why can't I lose any more weight? This is so aggrivating! Please help. Thanks

i want to tell you that i am 5'3.25" and i weigh the same. What you are looking at is probably muscle-muscle weighs more than fat. look at yourself in the mirror and you will see someone who is not fat, someone who is athletic, it sounds like you exersize. If you start off with a negative look at yourself you will never get anywhere, remember to love the curves, someone who is stickly skinny is not always the prettiest, it can look unhealthy. Just simply eat good foods, and exersize that is the best way to become healthier!

my calves are disctuingly huge. i hate them, im doing 100 leg lifts each day but i need to know how to lose weight on my claves. what can i do. please i need major help. ill rate high.

muscle weighs a lot more than fat, so you are definately seeing muscle, i would recomend running, or biking, it works your whole legs, as well as your calves so they will still be in shape, but probably not as big

im 13/f and i really think im fat. i weigh almost 120 pounds and im only 13! my friend who's a sophmore weighs less than me! its so embarrasing and its so hard for me to lose weight. i told my dad that i wanted to lose weight and stuff and he was like your fine the way you are adn he just keeps buying all this food thats really fatty and stuff... i dont no he is just trying to make me NOT lose weight. i even do some exersises at night and all i want is to be able to wear a tight shirt and not be emabrassed! i have love handles too. they suck. i just dont no what to do.. please help =]

First, i want to tell you 120 is not fat at all, i know people who are not fat, and weigh more than you-fat weighs less than muscle. You could go to the market with your dad, and pick out healthy foods. Another thing you could do is start running, or even walking. Get some friends together and go outside and play a sport, or even just go for a run together. Just make it fun for yourself, maybe go outside and play soccer, or basketball, and bring out a boom box and listen to music. The key to losing weight is eat healthy in moderation, and exerscize, adn I believe that the key to exersize is to have fun!

I have bought a treadmill, healthy food, and I plan to do exercises. But I still can't get rid of the feeling that no matter what I do, I won't be able to lose weight. I've been fat for so long I just don't feel like this will do anything to help me. I guess what I'm asking is, will it?
Will a half an hour-an hour of going on the treadmill as well as healthier eating help me lose weight? I know that a pound is 3000 calories, and I guess it just seems impossible to me. I'm only 15... please help.

Everything EricStar said is right, I just want to say, try and get a friend to exersise with you, it will be so much more fun, and I don;t know how the weather is there, but when the weather gets better try running ouside instead of the treadmill, for a change of scenery and a breathe of fresh air. Just make sure you have the right shoes (i diddnt have the right kind and got a stress fracture in my foot, so make sure you have the right shoes for the right surface)
