Ht. 5'4", Wt. 159 - my mum told me that if you stand up straight, and hold your stomach in...then it will eventually make it smaller? is this true?

Reply from anne, Age 19 - 03/14/06 - IP#: 131.229.170.xxx actualy- to an extent, yes. first of all- it makes you look thinner right away, since your fat is not all bunched together from slouching. secondly- it will strengthen your abdomen and your shoulders- til you won't even have to work at sitting up straight. more lean muscle=higher metabolism. unfortunately it won't be a dramatic change if you don't also eat healthy and exersize.

Reply from Izzy, Age 13 - 03/14/06 - IP#: 68.46.182.xxx hate to be a bummer, but it sounds like nonsense to me. girl. you know i wouldn't try to be mean, but my mom has been saying stuff like that since i was little and it has nothing to do with getting smaller. however I think I heard it's is true that keeping a good upright posture won't make you hunch over as quickly. (don't quote me on that!lol) :-)
