I'm naturally 79 lbs what am I suppose to do?My doctor knows of my weight and says I am healthy.My hair is long,skin clear and I still get my period.If you're going to be an ass to me I will block you

Those idiots down there don't realize that some people are just naturally skinny/have a small frame. I'm not sure how 5'4"/79 lbs looks like, but I myself am 5'8" and 110 lbs, which would be considered as being underweight. However, I still have boobs and somewhat of an ass, I just have a small frame and freakishly intense metabolism. I've started toning so now I'm around 115, but honestly people, 'healthy' doesn't have to mean flab and a belly pouch. I see plenty of people saying that 5'8" and 145-150 pounds is 'healthy', but if I packed on at least 40 more pounds, I'd be a walrus. Or close to one, anyway. Her body is just different than yours, get over it. She's asking about how to tone, so I'm pretty sure she's not looking for comments about her body.

Anyway, I'm not exactly a professional when it comes to exercising, so all I can honestly say is to look online for exercises that tone your butt/stomach (butt exercises usually work out your abs too). Yoga, pilates, running, etc. I know exercises that utilize those yoga balls are really good too, along with just using those wimpy 3-pound weights (ie, for when you're doing squats) Also, if you have anything like a YMCA near you, I'm sure you could find one of the professionals there to show you how to do some exercises properly (might cost you but... you know). And if not, you can always check out which machines exercise which muscles, and worse comes to worse you can look online at the different ways to use them.

FYI, calling someone an idiot doesn't make you any smarter.

[marijoanna]

Wow, really? I was just using the term 'idiot' in a general sense. I'm sorry if something so simple and general offended you, because that honestly wasn't my goal. I was ranting and clearly my word choice is a bit too much. Damn, don't take things so literally.

[marijoanna]

My goal was to explain that 'healthy' can come in all sizes, even though she might seem to be incredibly underweight and unhealthy. However, what was the goal of the comment, "FYI, calling someone an idiot doesn't make you any smarter."? Seems pretty unnecessary and like an attempt to cause drama to me.

[Enchanted_x3]

"Those idiots down there..." That's not trying to incite something, now is it? Your goal was to be condescending and act like you're superior to those of us below you (literally and figuratively). I'm not offended or bothered by this in the least. Merely pointing out an inaccuracy.

[marijoanna]

Well then, guess I'll try to be more accurate with my word choice next time, since that wasn't at all what I was trying to achieve. Don't tell me what my goals are, I'm pretty sure I've got that covered myself.

[Enchanted_x3]

Well good luck with that and your goals.

[marijoanna]

Thanks.

[KarKingJack]

LOL, shut up Tia, she's right.

Your 5'8 and 110 and healthy? Man, that's crazy. I'm 5'6 and when I was 110, I was pretty seriously underweight. I'm less than that now, hahaha.

[Asker]

thank you loads!I just want toning up.I may be skinny but I still am not exactly toned.pilates has been recommended so I will definitely try it out

[ambermarie]

WHAT? your 79lbs? wow hun you should probably put on a little weight, that doesn't sound healthy at 5'4". I'm not trying to be mean or anything I just can't imagine someone that height and weight.

6 inches is a great workout to tone you stomache

situps suck but they do the job.

[cyrus7]

are you that girl that posted the pic and people criticized your stomach?...

if so... you look amazing.. don't f*** with your health

[GreenEyesss]

Just do jump rope, run 2 to 3 days a week, and hit the gym 4 days a week and of course maintain a healthy diet and just drink water

[peace-love-couture]

-Pilates

-Yoga(Although it can take years to see results)

-Calisthenics(push ups,crunches,curl ups etc)

-Weight Training

Along with:

-Cardio(30-60 minutes a day)

[peace-love-couture]

I think it's pretty hilarious that people are attacking your weight & height because if I were to do that to some fatass asking a Q I'd be the biggest and meanist bitch on earth

[peace-love-couture]

meanest*

[The-Romanian]

It's not just the workout - it's what you eat as well. If you eat crap food such as sweets, fast food and such, and then attempt to exercise. You won't have much of a result.

[peace-love-couture]

That too.

Some fatass was offended by my answer,niceee

[The-Romanian]

Yeah, I see that. Some jackass down voted my opinion to that chick's question below this one. Ha.

[peace-love-couture]

The girls on here think we should all encourage being overweight/fat & if a girl who is skinny posts a pic on here,we should attack her and tell her to eat and become a lard butt.

[missjustina]

I'm sorry but that is definitely not healthy.

I'm 4 11', and 89 lbs and I consider myself pretty skinny. If I got down to 79 I'd be unhealthy...

I couldn't possibly imagine someone 5 inches taller than me,weighing less than me, with a stomach Lol

[Anonymous]

How can you possibly have a belly being that slim? I can't imagine that you have any fat on you at all. But Pilates has done wonders for my stomach.

[Anonymous]

What the f***? 5'4" and 79 pounds? You'd be skin and bones...

[The-Romanian]

Doesn't mean she'd be toned, though. And no, I didn't do an up, or down vote.

[Opinion Owner]

I honestly don't see how there could be any toning or definition or muscle for that matter; I'm just picturing a very gaunt figure...?

[Asker]

Don't answer my question if you have a problem with my weight.I doubt your concern over my weight is superior to my doctors knowledge

[The-Romanian]

Picture a women 5'7", and about 120lbs-130lbs. She doesn't look too off, right? Take that body, and minimize it by 3 inches in height, and maybe about 2-3 inches of width on both sides. I get that the automatic image someone produces seems off. But, can be exaggerated by our minds. She's just really lean.

[MrsJones7]

are you 79 in kilos or pounds? people are trying to figure out if there was a mistake in what you wrote to get a better understanding of your situation. If you are really 79 pounds, please DO POST a pic of your belly because I really don't think a chick that's slender can have a big belly.

[Asker]

Pounds!How could I make the same mistake twice?It's pounds people and no I won't post a picture

[Opinion Owner]

Any doctor WOULD be concerned about your weight. Don't tell me what I can or cannot care about sweetheart. Want a toned stomach? Do crunches, run, eat healthy, do planks, it's common sense. Clearly you're looking for attention.

[KarKingJack]

Tia, she's right. And she's not just looking for attention.

[Opinion Owner]

Who are you to say she's right Jack...?

[Asker]

My doctor says I'm healthy.How would your opinion be superior to that?I'm naturally skinny and it's hard for me to gain weight.I'm sorry if you have a hard time comprehending this but I don't really have to explain anything to you or even acknowledge your unnecessary concern

[kaythanksbye]

Shove some f***ing food down your throat.

[Anonymous]

Try swallowing a 6pack of something.

[MrsJones7]

79 pounds in total?

[Anonymous]

Try some crunches.
