I know this has been asked a bunch of times but I want to know for me.

[Anonymous]

so I've lost 50lbs recently, but I still have a big stomach and I need to trim my inner thighs. I have several questions:

1.if I jog an hour a day(30 min morning/30 min afternoon) and eat right how long will it take me to get to where I wanna be?

2.I'm going to be adding hot yoga to my schedule after the break, will that help?

3.do you know of any specific eating plans that have worked for you?

Also: I'm 5'8 and am now 150lbs should I weight less then that too?

You don't want to over work your body because you may eventually become tiresome. Hot youga will indeed help! It makes you sweat if you're really trying.

For your height, it seems fine, if you're at a medium frame you should be anywhere between 140 and 150.

Eating plans: I don't know what to tell you but it's best to eat healthy and really know what HEALTHY means. You have to watch intake on certain foods, know what lean meats are, how much protein to eat, the good fats from the bad fats, etc. I do reccommend eating something small for breakfast (i.e. cottage cheese with blue berries), a snack in between then and lunch time only if hungry though, for lunch nothing too big (extra small bowl of soup), snack if you're hungry, dinner (lean meat with salad, or just a big salad). There are ton of options on what to eat, as I said before though, you just have to know what's HEALTHY to eat. Best to google it if ya want to get more info.

thank you, and I know that 150 isn't fat, but for me it is a bit, because I've got a small frame

I understand what you mean! Trust me. I have the tummy issue as well.

[Asker]

yeah, I do look slim now, but I'm still chubby around my mid section.

btw I hate cottage cheese :)

[Opinion Owner]

lol it so good though! well... inmy opinion. not everyone will like it. lol

[Asker]

I know I'm obssessed(cant spell Xl ) but I want to look somewhat like her: link

I know I can't be exactly like that because I'm taller and probably have slightly bigger bone structure, but that's kinda how I want to look like

I used to be in your shoes. You eventually learn to realize what your body type is like and focus on yourself and how you like the way you look. I'm sure you are like that now, but you shouldn't compare yourself to others. Bc everyone has a different body. Focus on getting to where YOU want to be so that you LOVE YOURSELF. I too am obsessed.

[Asker]

I meant that I want to be that slim. I know how much she weighs, but I know that I'll way more cause I'm taller, but it feels like that being that slim is my perfect weight...

[Opinion Owner]

my mistake! lol got it. well keep up the work and you'll get there! :)

[Asker]

haha thanks!

5'8 is pretty tall and 150 is OK weight wise. losing weight wouldn't really change your body shape that much but if you eat right and do exercise everyday, you will become more fit. It also depends on where the weight came from (eg. genetics or from eating habits?)

personally, I would suggest 20g of fibre a day, cut back a little on the protien (unless your planning to build muscles), follow the food guide (duh), as little sugar as possible (ur body doesn't need any more C6H12O6 as it can alread break it down from the fruits and vegies you eat, plus the sugar in the fruits you eat are much healthier), drink less fruit juices (instead, eat more fruits, a glass of orange juice contains approximately the ammount of sugar in 3 oranges, perhaps more depending on the brand), and cardio excercise is good for the heart and for your body.

[Asker]

thank you. and I think the weight came from bad eating habits, because otherwise I would be thin like my sister...(most likely)

> so I've lost 50lbs recently

It's like where are you disappearing to?

> but I still have a big stomach

Oh yeah. Surprise! Didn't anyone tell you?

Simply losing weight isn't going to change your figure.

I can't answer your other questions. But you're damn tall. My wife is your height and maybe 100 pounds heavier. So you're extremely lightweight. Don't worry about it.

[Asker]

"It's like where are you disappearing to?" - what do you mean by that?

and yeah I know that simply losing weight doesn't change my figure that much now, but it did 50lbs ago.

[Ugliness]

When I say where are you disappearing to I mean you're getting damn skinny.

Stop worrying about things.

[Asker]

its just that I don't necessarily want to lose weight, but I want a flat stomach...

[Ugliness]

I wish you luck. People have been told me that I should just forget about it.

Because of all the surgery I've had it's really messed up all the muscles on my ... belly... and there's no reasonable way for it to retain a natural shape.

[Asker]

thank you. and even though you got a bad surgery, just try and stay healthy

It doesn't seem like you are overweight at all. You can go to this site and caculate your Body Mass Index (BMI).
