Well as you notice the summer is so close
I got a new boyfriend at the end of June last year
We are still together
Last summer i wansnt really comfortable with him
Until maybe November 2006
So we've never seen each other in bathing suits
But we've seen each other naked
Now im super self conscious about my tummy
Its not huge!
But its not super tiny either
He loves my stomach and doesn't think im fat
And people always tell me im not
But i always suck in my tummy
So it looks smaller
But i can't really do that with a bathing suit
Cuz its looks gross
Now i cant wear shirts or a bathing suit that covers my tummy
Because my boyfriends a pain in the ass
It has to look really good
Its not huge its not even that big
I'm 5'6 weigh 153 i believe or 160
I work out
By doing sit ups
I do 10 then stopp then 10 more
I do that about 5 times
I need something else
I have till the end of june around the 25th
Anyone have anything
No pills and i can't join a gym
Im not running
Or trying out for sports teams
Anything???
Sorry it was so longg :|

Just by saying that, it shows that you won't be willing to do thing that you don't like to get what you want.do what you're doing, but maybe add in some cardio- such as running, or pilates or something else. Check out www.toneteen.com they have a lot of good health tips and other things that will be very helpful to you =) Keep on doing your crunches, but make sure you're doing them right (Bending at your lower abdomen, and not your neck or shoulders.) Or do some lower ab exercises- try laying flat on the ground, with your hands flat at your sides. keeping your legs together and straight, lift them up off the ground slowly so they're about 6 inches. There are alot of things you can do here- you can hold them there for 5 seconds, lower, and repeat a number of times... or raise them from 6 inches off of the ground, to 12 inches. Don't think that going higher will be better, because it will only hurt you by working the wrong muscles and not showing you any results... just stick to 6-12 inches =) Also, you can try googling "Abdominal Exercises" and I'm sure you'll get a lot of hits! Good luckkk! ♥ and if you need anything else, just ask! =) [ 0NEL0VEEx's advice column | Ask 0NEL0VEEx A Question ]

If you want to flatten your stomach, you must do something other than specific/target work outs. You need to run, ride bikes, aerobics, and do work outs that are targeting various parts of your body at once. Running is the best thing and if you're not going to do it, you're not going to see much results. Running burns fat from various parts of your body so it will help you lose the excess fat. Then you should work on target workouts such as crunches and curl ups to start and get the belly in shape and tone it.
Also, you need to eat healthy. Limit junk food and fatty foods. Drink water and low fat milk and avoid sodas and energy drinks. Pick healthy foods, eat moderately, and exercise. [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
