I used to be 300lbs, I walked a tread for 3 miles a day no matter how I was feeling, sick, tired or sore. I also took up swimming and Tau Kean Doe .Now look at me, I am 190lbs and feeling good and that 300lbs was just 2yrs ago.  Do push ups before you go to bed, start out small like 10 then 20 then 25 and so on, that builds your lats and gives you that curve.\n\nIt take alot of discipline but you can do it....\n\nGood luck...\n\nDon

I'll tell you what, if you are really serious about getting rid of unsightly fat around you sides and stomach this is what you need to do. Change your diet to include more fruits, fruit juices and add more vegetables raw and steamed, this will stimulate your system to work more efficiently and in less than a month you will enjoy more energy and discover how slim you have gotten. Good Luck!

Just exercise and take your time to get back into shape...that "extra" skin will go away...you may not ever have the flat tummy you once had, but you certainly will "shed" the gummy extra skin that you have right now.  I can remember how mortified I was following my first child...but it will get better : )  Enjoy your little one, he will grow up fast!!!

Maybe you're not good looking, but you are sexy! maybe your curves turn them on or your eyes.\nI understand it could be quite upsetting. Find a way to take advantage of it.

wearing black might help. stay away from low cut and/or clingy tops.  \n\nbut girl, hopefully you will one day be PROUD of your curvy figure, once you grow comfortable in it. you're lucky, a lot of women would kill for the hourglass shape!

Try leg lifts. Rest on a raised surface with your legs extended and raise them up and down repeatedly. You should feel all your abdominal muscles tense, including your lower abs.\n\nBest way to improve the look of your abs is to eat healthy to lower your body fat. Avoid transfats completely. They're evil, and have proven to make people fat. They are not part of a natural human diet, and are merely added to processed foods for flavour. Watch your calories. A male should generally have about 2000 calories a day, a female about 1600. Optimally you would have 40% of your calories from carbohydrates, like sugars, 30% from (healthy) fats, and 30% from protein.\nI highly recommend hemp seeds. They are the healthiest natural food source.

Accentuate your waist (which is probably relatively tiny). \nFor instance, you could wear wrap around tops with a longer tunic of flowy material underneath.\nYou can use every colour you want on the upper part of you body, but refrain from wearing light colours around your hip-area.\nOf course, you don't have to listen to a word I say. Wear what you want you, if you feel good in it, than it is the right clothing for you!

The way a body places fat stores in the body is mainly decided by your genes and body type. You can't really target fat loss to the exact area you want to lose it by normal means (normal means is without pills, without an operation etc).\n\nWhat you can do is, do some light exercises for muscle toning that will firm up your thighs and bum muscles. Making it look more shapely and less "saggy". Go one step further and do some muscle conditioning for the upper body to make your whole body look proportional to your thighs and bum.

If you're really serious about reducing your waist line, crunches aren't going to do it for you, my friend. Crunches strengthen the underlying muscles beneath your jelly belly; they DO NOT help zap the fat off of it. The only way to deflate that spare tire is to restrict your caloric and fat intake by following a sensible eating plan and by doing regular aerobic exercise sessions. For best weight loss results, aim for 3-5 aerobic workouts weekly that last anywhere from 30-60 minutes. \n\nBy aerobic, I mean walking, jogging, cycling, skating -- anything that uses your larger muscle groups in your legs, back and chest in a rhythmic, repetitive fashion, gets you breathing heavy and can be sustained continually for a relatively long period of time, say 15 minutes or more. You can use your imagination on that one.... \n\nAnd while we're on the topic: belly fat IS cause for concern. Studies have shown that where you store your fat is probably as important as how much you have. People who tend to store their excess fat around the tummy (the so-called apple shaped body) are at greater risk for coronary heart disease and diabetes than people who tend to store their fat below the waist line (the so-called pear shaped body). If you tend toward the apple shape, reducing your weight will not only improve your appearance, it may help you live longer too. \n\nHere's a quick and easy method to determine your risk of cardiovascular heart disease based upon fat storage: Take your waist measurement to the nearest half inch and your hip measurement to the nearest half inch; measure the smallest part of your middle, a few inches above your navel, and the largest circumference of your hip area that includes your buttocks. \n\nNow divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement to determine your waist-to- hip ratio. If you're a woman and it's greater than .8 or a man and it's greater than .9, you should work hard to reduce your body fat and thus reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease and Type II diabetes.

This is your body and I feel it should look beautiful if you can maintain a good curvaceous figure, as you put it. I think you sound gorgeous !!!!! Keep it up. If others have a problem with your fine and graceful body then they seem to be jealous or perhaps, envious.\n\nDo not bother about their views since it is your body and you have it great.\n\nBest of everything for you in your life.\n\nabnash25@yahoo.com

Well if you don't really want a big butt, maybe you should try moderating your chocolate eating and start exercising.  If you DO want a big butt, you should double your chocolate intake.  Try the Symphony bars with the toffee bits.

Don't worry, it will happen on it's own- the hip part- it will be a lot of work to keep a small waist. \nThen you'll be asking "How do I work my abs and get rid of my hips?"\n\nJust try to be happy in your body.

You are not fat and unattractive.\n\nTo some, you may be FATTER and LESS attractive than you were, but you will still be sexy if you feel sexy.  I am just a mere man, so I don't completely understand how women do this, but they can double their attractiveness just by changing their state of mind. Perhaps it has something to do with a woman's state of mind.\n\nYou can work on your jelly belly by doing sit ups but your hip size has enlarged because your pelvis has moved to allow a baby through, so I doubt you will go back to an 8.\n\nAnyway, Marilyn Monroe was a 16 and tell me SHE wasn't sexy.  It doesn't matter what size you are.

well you can loose weight which would do the trick.\nDiets and all that crap....\n\nor you can gain weight! (by gaining muscle mass!)  This is much healthier and will remove body fat in other areas.   You don't want to look like shemale but if you just get nice and tone like madonna (sp) that would be appreciated by modeling agencies.\nMy ex girl friend  was a model.....she was fit.

My only suggestion is running or walking. General exercise should slim you down. But a lot of men are known to like more curvy women.
