i just went for a quick jog and it felt so good. i'm reallfy getting fit and to the point where i love how it feels to exersize. i was just itching all day to go jogging. i haven't been jogging for a while and i've been doing other exersizes like tae-bo. the time before when i went jogging i hated it but this time it was really relaxing and stress relieveing. i feel so good about myself now. i looked in the mirror and i can see defined upper abs- my upper abs from the waist up look great but i'm really having trouble with the waist down. i can't get that stuff off but i heard running gives you a flatter stomach so i'll jog again tomorrow and hopefully make a habit of it. if anyone has suggestions about that area it would be greatly appreciated!

Reply from Hanne, Age 14 - 10/07/03 - IP#: 65.69.84.xxx Hey Anne, i don't really have any advice about the sotomach, but i have a question for you! u replyed to me earlier about the atkins diet. well i heard from soem one on here that it is really bad for teens like it stunts your growth and stuff, plus i am addicted to carbs (well maybe it would be good) all i ever eat is mashed potatoes, bread, fruits, and veggies. It would be hard for me to do atkins becuz everyday (except thursdays becuz they dont have um.) i get a salad at school and with atkins can't you not have fruits or vegetables? i also love fruit so do u have any other suggestions for me? also do u have any exercise suggestions? i have been doing the thing where you said to do 50 sit ups and leg lifts, but i was wondering if there was a time better to do them becuz i have been doing them right before i go to bed will this even give me results? i wonder if we are abou the saem size because i read your reply to someone and you said you wear a size 16 pants, so do i so i wonder if the stuff you are doing will help me. if you have any suggestions PLZ e-mail me at...dolphingirl2007@hotmail.com it would mean alot!
