What I mean is give your body definition and do stomach excersizes to tighten it up so you see muscle instead of chub. Certain stomach excersizes i do to get definition are lye on my back with hands/arms to your sides and put your legs straight and together then lift them off the ground up and down without putting them back on the ground. If you want to increase the excersize and work out more stomach muscles at once you should lift your shoulders off the ground at the same time as your legs (v shape) this will work out your inside stomach muscles and lower stomach muscles (where that pouch is for most girls) to get your love handles you lye on your back but put your legs together as if you're sitting on an invisible chair, put your finger tips to your neck and then bring your knee up and elbow forward and touch the opposite two together and then alternate (left knee right elbow, right knee left elbow) Then to work out your outter stomach muscles, just do normal crunches. For the legs, I don't know as many because I play soccer and my legs are quite muscular but one that slims down is the standard one where you lye on your side and just lift your leg up and down, running is excellent way or (jogging) to tone your legs but If you want more ways, what really works well is Pilates, you can buy a video or even look it up on google for certain excersices that will suit the areas on your body you're looking for. I hope this helped and a little chub does not mean your fat!:) [ Dunnworryjuzdoit's advice column | Ask Dunnworryjuzdoit A Question ]

Underweight = 18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
