Ht. 5'3", Today: 112 lb (BMI %tile: 60) - I am not fat, i am 112 at 5'3", but I thought I'd make a suggestion. I started taking a really cool fitness class. In the beginning, we do stretches for about 25 mins. to warm up and stretch our bods. Next, for about 50 mins, we do a heavy arobics work-out, with weights and stuff. The last part is stretching, relaxing yoga. Well, after 2 weeks, my stomach is perfectly flat, i am getting nicely toned, and I am happy with my body. I have a curvy, hourglass figure, and I will never be "bone-thin". But anyone can TONE the body that they are born with, and make it more shapely. Plus, laydeez, don't try to fit that stick-thin image. Guys HATE stick thin. They think it's disgusting. I think it goes back to instinct; the brain knows that a too-skinny body is not capable of carrying a child. A healthy, curvy body, though, can carry a healthy baby. Just exercise and eat right!!!! If you want me to give you some exercises and really good eating ideas, email me at Sarahcor123@aol.com. I never thought it was possible, but determination CAN help you lose weight quickly!
