How to look skinnier than I actually am?

I've recently lost 20lbs. I went to the gym like crazy and ate right, etc etc. My cousin lost 50 lbs. I live in another state and I am going to visit family in about a week. They all know that I've been dieting and trying to lose weight. I used to be over 200lbs and now I'm almost in the 170's.. I want to look thinner. I put a ton of effort and work into losing weight and for some reason my body just isn't willing to work with me. I've been trying to lose weight for years. I've done crazy gym schedules (five days a week hour long sessions at the gym). At one time I practically turned vegetarian just to try to lose some weight.(I eat meat now though) At that time I did lose some significant weight but was overshadowed by another family member who lost even more. They told her how great she looked, showered her with praise. Some of them even bought her beautiful clothes. And me, they didn't even notice me. Despite the fact that I was only like 5-10 lbs heavier than she was at the time. I know I'm a heavier set woman and it's just how my body was built. But I don't want to be embarrassed. I have huge arms and shoulders, a chubby tummy, and big thighs. If it helps I'm an overly curvy hour glassed figure. I need something to wear that will actually look decent on me. Please help?

How to Help Your Dachshund Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

the answer with your time frame is going to be your clothing and maybe a new hair cut- you have a newer body 30 pounds is a big difference,so now most of your clothing probable doesnt fit the way it should take a good friend and head to a thrif store and restock try on different clothing and find what looks best. generally you will want something that draws the eyes to the bust, with a form fitted top or a belt around the middle to emphasize your smaller waist. without seeing pictures this is the best i can do.

• One thing you could do is wear darker colors, wearing black always makes people look thinner then they actually are. Congratulations on the 20 pounds!! That's awesome, you should feel so proud.

I don't know whether to lose or gain weight?

I am a 16 year old girl, I stand at 5'4 and weigh about 106 pounds, according to my doctor I am underweight and should weigh around 120. The problem is that I don't like my stomach so I want to lose weight, I want those really toned looking abs you see on models, but at the same time I want to gain weight because having small boobs frustrates me so much, I am a 32a and I hate it. If I gain weight will my boobs be bigger?

How to Lose Weight Safely as a Diabetic

Recommended Answer:

Yes. You can have both. Try doing workouts that target your abs. You won't get defined abs by just losing weight.

Other Answers:

• Depends on your body type.. Also if your doctor told you that you're underweight you should probably listen to him
• If you want the toned look losing weight isn't exactly the answer. I would recommend yoga Pilates or Zumba they are all super good for getting you toned and fit. You are underweight just make sure you are eating enough calories a day and working out. And you will get the look you want. As far as boob size goes I don't know of gaining weight will do that, but I do know that birth control does ( although I'm not saying that's the answer) since you shouldn't go on it unless you need it
• It all depends, do the heavier women in your family have larger breasts? Thats more then likely the answer to your last question.. as for losing weight you should always take what your doctor says seriously your height and weight does not sound like you need to lose at all and if you want abs, muscle does weigh more then fat.. eat 5 small healthy meals every day and start a work out routine aimed at building abs and drink alot of water within a few months you will see results as long as you stay dedicated ofcourse. I understand that being a 16 year old girl is tough and your body image is greatly distorted i promise as you get older you will look back and laugh at all the things you used to think, please do not let all this media crap get to your head from the info you gave, height and weight, you sound like a doll and probably are the envy of many girls in school gaining a few pounds wont hurt esp if your doc told you too!

A Plan to gain more weight? Please help.?

Okay, so i have used a "Daily Calorie Calculator" to estimate how many calories i should eat to maintain my current weight or to gain more weight. I am 6'1", i am 16 years old and i weigh 135 pounds. Yeah, i am a skinny guy, which is what i hate. So when i calculated my weight and all, it said i need 2067.88 calories to maintain my current weight (Which is what i DO NOT want). To gain 1 pound a week i would need 2567.88 calories. To be honest, i do not keep track of my calorie intake. I eat anything i feel like eating whenever i feel like it. The only reason why is because i do not know what i should be eating? if anyone knows of a website that helps you with what you should be eating and/or give you a schedule of what or when i should be eating, that would really help out a lot. Or if you yourself have any advice, please help?

Pack more nutritious calories in eachserving. For example, you may add grated cooked eggs to mashedpotatoes, ground chicken to soups and gravies, cheese in casseroles,eggs, and soups, and nonfat dried milk in soups, shakes, milk, andmashed potatoes.If you get too full too fast, try having more high-calorie foods orslices of foods as opposed to consuming the whole thing (raisinsversus grapes, granola and Grape Nuts versus corn flakes, mango slicesversus the whole mango).Limit drinking beverages to a half-hour before and after a meal.Drink mixed juices (apple/berry, peach/orange/banana as opposed to onejuice beverages) for a higher calorie intake. With moderation, you mayadd in good fat sources to meals such as nuts, avocado, olives, andfatty fish (salmon and mackerel).Snack in between meals. Nuts, dried fruits, and yogurtare good options, but it's also important to find nutritious foodsthat you will enjoy. Have a nutritious snack before bedtime, such as apeanut butter sandwich.

• You should gain muscle, one because muscle weighs.more than fat, and two, because if you gain fat you can have major health issues. Lift weights, and eat healthy, just a lot of protein, and it will help you gain. Hope it helps.
