LoveNJstyle answered Sunday June 12 2005, 1:21 pm: you are not fat...at all. most would kill to be your size or even 10 pounds heavier would be ok with them...and youd still be at a normal weight. its all muscle. most athletes (yes dancers are athletes) have a lot of muscle especeially in the thighs. why do you want to lose weight? as long as you dont look it (if that what you are concerned about), you are fine. just get comfortable with who you are. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
xxBrOkEnxx answered Sunday June 12 2005, 1:19 pm: you should run. it makes you lose weight everywhere. but drink water to make your face look slimmer, and do crunches. for your thighs, running will help [ xxBrOkEnxx's advice column | Ask xxBrOkEnxx A Question ]
rnobers answered Sunday June 12 2005, 12:47 pm: interesting. again, the answer below mine said do crunches. crunches DO NOT make your stomach smaller. your body puts on fat in proportion to the rest of your body. for example, if you gain weight, you will put weight on EVERYWHERE on your body. aerobic exerices help you burn fat, not crunches. also, you are not fat. that is all psychological.
Some advice for women:
1)Women seem to put weight on in their legs for biological reason, i.e to support the weight of a growing fetus. we see this in the "pear shape" figure and hips.
2)your face is interesting to me. I have never heard of a fat face.
3)i would recommend total body fitness such as weights and aerobic exerices.
4)also think about body type. there are several body types that enable us to have that six-pack abs or not. i remember as a young athlete, i had the strongest abs in the world but it was hard to get that shape. my body type did not enable me to have those.

It's freaking MUSCLE, dancers tend to have that when they dance as much as you do. I'm an inch taller than you and I'm 120. Size 2 in pants. I really don't think that's fat. A girls face is always a little chubby. There is nothing we can do about it. If you have a problem with your stomach, do crunches, situps. And your thighs, DANCERS HAVE BIG THIGHS!!!!! I used to dance I had the hugest thighs in the world! Of course they look fat, it's all muscle though. I don't know what the hell you're worrying about. You do not need to lose ANY weight. According to a BMI calculator, you are at 19.7. Anything under 18.5 is under weight. between 18.5, and 24.9, it's normal. So you're closer to being underweight than anything.
