Hi there.. :)

I'm going under a diet and exercise program for 2 years now.. last year, from 102 kg, I went down to 80 kg.. 79 actually.. then I had some exams.. And I want to eat a lot when I'm under stress.. and since those exams were really important.. my mom agreed to let me lay off the diet for a while.. by diet I mean, simply cutting and substituting certain foods.. and eating small amounts and stuff..

Anyways now for my school graduation, I need to wear a saree, and for those of you that don't know what it is, its a type of originally Indian formal wear, where you wrap a beautiful worked cloth around yourself in a certain manner... I really don't want to look bad for this.. and I'm now 86 kg. I want to reduce my weight to at least 75 or at least 80 kg.. but its not moving.. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO! please do help me... My weight has been stuck for the past two months.. though I have started my diet and exercise program again.. By exercise, I do a varied range of exercises. and they are never the same... I would like to tackle problem areas like back, bra and side fat.. and my belly too...

THANKS so MUCH! Please HELP! :))

I'd suggest you eat five small portions of food as opposed to the regular three. Your metabolic rate has probably standardized because your body metabolic rate has slowed down whereas you need to increase so that you lose weight. Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit maybe for two of those small meals. As for exercise, sit ups and crunches for the stomach, obliques for the love handle area...i don't know about the latter but my boyfriend recommended them when I asked him and he's in the military. Also, I've been told that the elliptical machine is the best for gym work out because it works all your muscles.

Goodluck :)

Yah I do eat just 3 meals and that also as little as possible... You're probably right! THankssssss a million! Ill try what you said.. :)))

i love sarees... except they can be so tricky to put on lol. I pretty much safety-pin myself 72 times just to make sure nothing falls off :p

anyways, in terms of diet, I would begin each meal with a glass of water. this will help curb your appetite. in terms of exercise, do you jump rope? it's supposed to be a great way to lose weight. link

good luck! I'm sure you'll look great :)

Thousands of girls are starving themselves this very minute trying to attain what the society considers to be the 'ideal' figure. We spend millions each year trying to follow this 'ideal' figure. If diets really worked then why are there so many of them? The reason a new diet pops up each month is because last months diet didn't work. Be happy with what god blessed you with.
No number on a scale can define you.
