Can you look like you're slimmer, yet your pounds aren't going down?

A pound of fat takes up 2.5 times the space as a pound of muscle. So you can weigh the same, or more, and be much smaller if you're building muscles.

but you haven't lost any pounds? maybe you've put on muscle *which weighs more than fat* \nmaybe you should change your bet to who can lose the most inches because thats really all that counts.. isn't it? Its what makes you skinnier.

NO. In fact, you're probably too skinny. You should NEVER think you're overweight because of what you see in the media/what other people say. You are YOURSELF and you should be comfortable with what you look like!

You're probably pretty solid...I'm 5'6 and 135 is the minimum I can weigh without starting to look too thin...my preferred range is 135 - 145.\n\nI would imagine you look pretty good...keep up the good work, but allow yourself some time for fun too! To maintain your weight, unless your eating habits are very poor, you should be able to do 1 hr a day 4 or 5 days a week...

No, you are in the healthy weight range.  Don't be hung up on weight, just enjoy life and be happy!

That is just your body shape by genetics. Be happy it is not the opposite. You can slim down BUT your lower-half will still be larger and there is NOTHING wrong with that.

Lose 5 - 10 pounds and your cheeks should look better. At least that's all my body needed me to lose. I had the same problem. I would suggest you eat less for a few weeks and before you know it you will have lost some weight. \n\nUnfortunatly we can't just slim down one area of the body, it has to be in all areas.

Sure, treadmill will help. But if you just fat below the waist, I think it's from your body type (pear shaped,big below waistline), it's genetic and you can't change that. Measure the width between your hip bones, is it much wider than your shoulder? All you can do exercise more to keep that parts toned and tight, or reduce your overall weight and size. But the proportion won't change a lot, but the difference will be less noticeable if you're skinny.

The best way is to see pictures of slim people.During a diet programme, just give yourself a treat(buy something), once a week, to motivate yourself to continue the diet programme.

Nope.  I have a lot of sagging skin from my weight loss.  There's not much you can do about it.  Sorry.

No.  However, you may not see the results until all the fat is gone.

slim to none, but don't let that stop you from following your heart

no. go look in a mirror and even if its hard, try to think about it realistically.  look at yourself as a whole instead of focusing in on different parts here and there.  you are not fat, you are thin. \ni have a feeling that you dont eat very healthily and my advice is too eat regularly, even if its not a lot. even if its less than you should, eat regularly.

It depends, if you have alot of weight to lose, you do tend to lose faster  in the beginning. It does taper off though.

You might not necessarily gain weight, but your body certainly becomes more "womanly" and "curvy" - you lose the little girl look.  I'm not sure why this happens.
