Tummy weight loss

I'm skinny myself and people will say 'you have nothing' about my stomach, but you can't know unless it's yourself. It probably looks like nothing to most people, but when I see that I'm gaining a little something, it's going to drive me crazy even if it's not technically overweight.

I can understand that. ANd I thikn when you are skinny, a little blaor or weight gainshows up more.

But Jen, liek everyone said, drink water, cut down on alchohal, salt & caffeine especailly right before the weding.

You can't spot reduce, but if you do cardio, you will loose fat, & it that is your only problem area, is should help reduce it alittle.

For strength, try a pilates video.

After all that, try a girdle type product. I have a pair Spanx that do wonders for the whole tummy-butt- thighs area.

Just for you Jenn It was emailed to me.....

CONCERNED ABOUT TOO MANY CARBS IN YOUR DIET?
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health.
It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like.

Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

I am not going to chime in with everyone else (even though I do think you are tiny and look fine) but I think eating healthy carbs (whole grains and non-processed carbs- only ones that come from fruit, potatoes and lowfat dairy)

Stay away from carbonation and foods that contain a lot of sodium. Drink lots of water. Believe it or not, fiber bloats you so don't over do it on high fiber foods.

Something else that has worked for me (although I have not been doing great lately- I am getting back on the fat farm as of February first ) Eating smaller meals more often. I find that eating bigger meals less often makes me bloat and hold weight around my belly. I do better when I eat smaller meals five times a day.

Another trick I learned (since eating past your full point can bloat you also) is to stop eating as soon as you take your first deep breath during a meal. That 'sigh' is actually your stomach telling you that it is full. Anything you consume after the fact is what causes bloating and weight gain.

Finally, something I have started doing (i will tell you if it works) is since I am not one to set time aside for working out, when I am sitting I try to contract and release my stomach muscles in sets of ten. I do it at work, when driving- anytime I am sitting. It helps . . .


You will be stunning in your dress for Donna's wedding!

South Beach Diet makes you tummy FLAT!!!

the problem here is that i am a really picky eater...

I HATE most vegetables, most meats...I HATE FISH of all kinds...

which leaves very little else but carbs to eat

I know for me working out is probably the best solution but i was hoping i could do something else to drop some pounds in a short amount of time...

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THIER SUGGESTIONS
