eat protein and complex carbs so you don't crash completely!

here's a great exersize- with hand weights. hold a weight in each hand and keep your arms strait out by your sides with your feet shoulder-width apart.move the top of your body down to one side- stand again and do it to the other side. i could really feel it the day after doing it so i hope it's helping me too!

hey guys- the man said he got out of breath by lifting his arms, not that it was impossible. i don't know about you guys, but typing on the computer isn't like doing step aerobics!
to the person who posted the original message: it doesn't matter right off if you can't do anything physically demanding. diet is 75% of weight loss. just lose enough so that you can do something, or even be moble to start with. it sounds difficult and i can't even comprehend being imoble but that's the best advice i can give in my situation!

Hi tiff, to lose weight you need to eat less than you exercise off! Drink lots of water and start walking, even a couple of blocks each day helps. i started walking more and it really helps, i don't feel as hungry either. Hope this helps! Keep trying! Caroline

The eclipse thing at the gym (it's like running but smoother there is a platform for each foot and it kind of makes ovals so it's like a smoother running with out picking up your feet)has a setting that works your butt plus thats cardio so not only do you focus on your butt but you also burn a lot of calories. When I go on it I burn about 13-15 calories per MINUITE! I think it is so much easier then running but you burn more calories. Just play around with the settings to get to a good level of difficulty and to target the butt it should say what to do on the machine (on the one I use it's called plan 5)

Hello Melissa! I read your story,and you are not alone. I have belly fat also and a big waist and hips. What you can do (that I heard once in a weight loss magazine) is try riding your bike for 28 minutes 5 days a week. Not the best, but it can be fun. If you have a sister or a brother you can try riding with him or you can walk for at least 30 minutes to the park or school. You should also eat healthy you know fruits and vegetables. I believe in you. Maybe this is not the best advice from a 15 year old,but i try my best. You can also read teen magazines like Twist for example.Each month that magazine has questions for weight loss. You could also write to them about your weight problem. There are so many things you can do to lose weight. I hope this advice helps.Your welcome!:)
