I love my body but would still like to improve on some areas. My theory is that you can eat anything as long as the unhealthy food is taken in small doses. And exercise is VERY important with any form of diet, not that I'm on one.

Crunches of all types for your abs.  Squats, plie squats, and lunges are all good for thighs.  Walking or running for cardio.  Pilates is also great for toning abs and thighs.  I have a DVD called Pilates for Abs led by Ana Caban which is a fantastic ab workout.

I can't handle anyone else telling me what I can and can't eat.\n\nCurrently, I have lost 26 pounds by just doing my own thing.  I eat two Dannon Light n Fit yogurts, a bowl of raisin bran with 1/2% milk and a sensible dinner each day. I don't say anything is off limits, but I have to watch that I only eat ONE serving of things. I occasionally allow a treat.\n\nIf someone had told me to eat only that every day I would not have followed it. I think sometimes you just really have to figure out what works for you. \n\nA little exercise and a little less food works wonders. And no fast food! EEk, that stuff is horribly calorie-laden.\n\nGood luck to you.

Regular exercise is good, you also should try to lose weight by reducing your caloric intake (smaller meals & portion size).  You should try to increase your fiber intake, adding oatmeal (not the overly sweetened kind, watch those calories!) whole grain breads and pastas.  Reduce or completely remove eggs, red meats (even Pork, the other white meat!) and certain fruits/veggies like coconut and avacado (although Avacado is not all bad...)\n\nAlso, if you are under a Doctor's care, there are some very effective medicines, but first try the diet/exercise routine to see if that will bring it back nito normal range - you want to avoid meds as long as possible!\n\nCheck these sites - American Heart Association is a good start, but there are also some natural paths sites to look at as well.  Make sure you tell your Doc what you are doing, even if you think they will think it's "Crazy" or "Fringe" medicine.  It's YOUR health, not theirs, so let them know you want alternatives and are taking charge of your health!\n\nGood luck, you can do it!  And be patient.  It takes time to clear out those levels, and determination to avoid those food you love, trust me!

I am also on my own diet that I cam up with, and so far I have been doing well. I wold like to recommend a book that i am reading called "You on a diet". I remember seeing the book on Oprah when she was talking to Dr. Oz.

I believe that no diet is the best diet. The human body has a sophistication to marvel at. If we leave the body alone to do what comes naturally, it knows instinctively what it needs. Scientists will take thousands of years to figure out things that the body now knows by natural instinct. I love science, but the media is having a wonderfully lucrative time putting everyone in a frenzy with something new every day that just serves to increase their viewer ratings.

id say dont go an a diet just learn how to eat good, eating good doesnt nessecarily mean a diet, just read up when ever you can, not any fad stuff. just learn to read labels, like ingrediants and the rest of the stuff. switch to whole wheat breads and pastas,  and buy more fruit and veggies. If you learn to eat good you wont nessecarily be on a diet and you can pass the healty eating on to your kids too. im 26 and have been reading up on this stuff for about a year now and still have a lot to learn. so id say just read, read, read, ( i get a lot of info from mens health mag.)

You need to lessen your portions. You are on a road to an unhealthy disaster if you keep this up. Stay active and eat less.

Lots of lean protein, whole grains (i.e. oatmeal-not instant) whole wheat bread, veggies.  Avoid junk food!  Treat your body like it's a shrine and it will soon begin to look like one (especially at your young age).  Good luck.  You can do it!

That sounds awesome! Don't push yourself too hard, though. If you have time, add some walking in there. I know this is hard, but cut back on calories, too. If you are having a tough time with that, than you can add cereals, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to your diet and eventually, you may like these foods better than those higher in fat, calories, and un- natural ingredients. As long as you want to make a change, you can accomplish anything. Good luck to you!

I think you have no idea how much your harming your body. If you want to lose weight, lessen your calorie intake and increase your exercise.

It sounds like you're pretty active.  As long as you eat more than just junk food, you should be fine.  Though I'm sure your fitness would improve if you cut down on it as much as you can.

EATING LOTS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WOULD BE YOUR BETTER BET, YOU DON'T WANT TO DEPRIVE YOUR BODY OF IMPORTANT VITIAMINS AND MINERALS. YOU ARE ACTIVE IN SPORTS SO YOU WILL GET THE EXERCISE YOU NEED ALSO. GOOD LUCK

We all are self conscious to some degree.  The key is not to obsess about things.  I think dieting is ok if done properly and for the right reasons.  A persons health and well being is important and a good diet is important to that.

The type of food doesn't matter. Your body just stores fat from the calories you consume wherever it wants to. If you want more shape behind, you just have to gain a little weight and do some muscle-building exercises.

I like the women who spend some time in the gym, have a healthy (but not obsessive) lifestyle, but aren't afraid split a pizza with me when I get that occasional, irresistable urge for a large eggplant and mushroom pie.  Does that mean skinny or fat?  It's somewhere in the middle really, but more importantly, it's a body that she is comfortable being in.

Here is the site. I don't know what your body looks like.. but you sound small.  I would talk to your guardians before going to the extreme to see what the healthiest way to diet would be.  Be careful.

run distance.  I know it isn't fun, but it works.  Don't stop to walk, that is like giving up.  Work up to a few miles twice or three times a week.  Run for an hour straight.  That is the only thing that has worked for many people i know.  After you get into the routine, it's not that bad.  You should be able to eat anything you want as long as you keep the routine up.
