hi, shelby try pilates its going great for me. i haven't lost any weight on it but thats because im not dieting. Pilates has helped me gain muscles made my stomach flatter and my thighs smaller too. Also, it has helped me unwind from a stressfull day a t school it makes you more flexible and you will feel more relaxed... Thats my input

Ht. 5'5", Today: 170 lb (BMI %tile: 95) - Im 5'5, 15 years old and 170 lbs. For me, if i ride my bike on a trail outside, i cant stop working out like i would on say a tredmill, becasue i have to bike, to get home. This is the only way that exercising works for me. All in all I would say that the ride is maybe 40 minutes. Its hell becasue just walking up the stairs makes me out of breath...but I still try to do it.. If I did this 5 days a week and ate on a low fat diet do you think I would lose alot of weight? if i included weight training in here also? I need some help on my diet and muscle training skills and things. Any tips would be appercited!

hey, well u dont wanna over do it there...i mean if ur gonna do the crunches and tredmill then i would say alternate, do the crunches every other day and the day u dont do them then do the tredmill...and w/ the weight thing, my friend said that helps alot 2 and she did it and i think she has a six pack...and water is good for u, i never use 2 drink it but now itz all i drink, and if u cut down on soda and eat half of what u normally do then i think u will lose weight, also eat healthy, eat at least 2 fruits a day. and u wanna loose ur overall body fat first cuz u could do 1000 crunches and get nice abs but u wouldnt be able to see them cuz the flab...so if u do cardiac exercises then that will help to lose body fat and then u can do the crunches 2 tone ur stomach...hope i helped

hope this helps. i use elliptical machines, most gyms have them in various forms at your weight similar to mine you can hurt you knees,spine etc. by bouncing when you jog causing injury. so low impact continuous motion is better.

Go for walks, more and more each day. Go as far as you can and slowly work your way up, it works! Also, watch what you eat. No more soda or sweets or junk. Eat apples! :) Good luck!

if you do slideways leglifts it will help alot. do sets of 50 on each leg 2 times a day every day. so its easier if you do them when you wake up you calye in bed and do them and right as youre getting in to bed at night!!! trust me it works!!keep the faith! good luck.... rose m.

Awww, I know how you feel! I was 167 pounds (When I was 14) and it was so annoying! All of my friends weighed so much less. I would suggest that you go on walks everyday (2+ miles) because it really works. Also, drink water and watch what you eat (No sweets or junk food! Eat an apple instead!). I hope it works out! I know exactly how you feel.

Hi my name is Garey this is my first time writing here. i am 5'7 and 190 lbs. I am a guy. i just felt i had afew things to say about myself being obese. Since it is summer every single day has been excruciatingly hot like 95 degrees plus. I dont have a pool but my neighbors all do. One of my neighbors is 9 years old and has a little sister thats three. so i went over and the older brother and sister all had friends over. and this is like the skinniest family in the world so i'm the fat one there.

hey dont worry about it i used to feel the same way your feeling because everyone one on my street is skinny but all i do now is cut my food in half and and run everyday for 30 minutes or so and i run around my house,dance and do push-up's and crunches. and i am not like really big i have a tummy thats it. well dont worry appeciate your body and just exercise because you have to love your self in order to loose weight i know im not sometimes comfortable with the way i look but i still love myslef and i am becoming more comfortable.(a tip:you know if you get that game dance dance revolution and play for one hour a day for 30 days you can loose 30 pounds or more it's in a health magizine) i do that everyday and it's fun to learn how to do those funnie dance's even if you stay at beginner.it really helps.. well i hope this helps ~~~**Ayla**~~~

I nikki, if you have a big dog ask your parents if you could walk with it! cause big dogs pull and it makes you walk faster. Or when you get use to it, try it with no dog, try speed walking I swear the first time is hard but it's fun! Good luck!!!
