Bah! You look fine! If you dont like how you look then your right to try and do something about it. Those stupid green tea pills dont do squat. I used to use those. I find the only things that have worked for mme was weight watchers and my current kick of not being able to eat. Well I wish you the best of luck. I miss you! hope to see you soon.
I used to feel that way when I first went to the gym. I think everyone feels that way though. I mean, they're all dieting too, and they're just as self-conscious as you. After a while you realize that no one is staring at you, they're just doing their own workouts.
You mentioned you do crunches and not situps. Thats good. New research is starting to suggest situps do more harm to the back then good for the abs. Crunches are much better.
You can probably lose weight on crunches. I wouldnt really recomend pills and such but I am a pro exercise guy. Fiber helps you eat less and they make fiber you can add to a drink of water and its tasteless
Well I was actually referring to pure fiber suppliments. Fiber is very filling and adds nothing to body weight. In fact it helps cut down on other calories and cholesterol you eat. Bread is good if you are referring to whole grain bread. But you are probably not getting enough fiber as only a rediculously small portion of the population does. And I do reccomend the powdered fiber you can buy anywhere.
Step one: Dont measure weight, measure circumference and density. Step Two: Dont just do crunches, do bicycles, captains chair, pushups [cheater or not I don't know dont judge] some kind of pulling exercize and plyometric squats. Step Tree: Green tea works well, but not alone. Use fiber as Mike said, and remember to use the caloric ratio of 3:4:3 [carbs:protein:fat] in a caloric sense, not grams sense. Step Four: Run, walk, jumprope. Step Five: Do not give up. Or waver in willpower. Be a beast and hate yourself. Hate every part of your body unril it is perfect [probably not healthy, but its what helped me in the past.]
Kay...that's a lot of measuring I don't know how to do.
How do I measure 'density'? I know it from Chemistry class, but not how to do it on myself.
I don't know what a captain's chair is, or plyometric squats.
I don't have access to a lot of nutrition facts of my foods. I'm definitely not a calorie counter, I eat weird things that are hard to judge what calories/fiber/protein/carbs are in them. And I don't exactly know how to sit down and figure out that ratio.
I already mentioned something about the walking/running.
It's hard to hate myself when I can't see my faults and no one will tell me what they are.
The most basic way to measure density is to 'flex-n-feel' and the harder it is the denser it is.
A captains chair is basically holding your weight off the ground with your arms, and lifting your legs up. Try it without bending your knees and if thats too tough, bend them.
Plyometric squats are tough to explain in typing. I think another name would be Hindu squats if you wanna check da interwebs.
If you want to check it out, there is a site called calorie-count.com or something like that. It explains the breakdown of lots of different foods, and breaks down your whole day if you put your intake into it.
I know I know, but Im required to say walk/run whenever giving fitnes advice.
I know its hard, but you have to try and work at self-loathing.
Salright, no more difficult than the hella ghetto middle school kids I work with. the little fatties.
Hey, if you need any help or want to talk about it, give me a ring or email me (I can give you my phone number/email if you don't have it). I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, and I want you to be careful about the diet pills and crap. Anything extreme like that will take weight off fast, but then you will put it on again. Plus it's really bad for your health in the longterm. Good luck!!

It's like...I don't want a bunch of strangers to know that I'm dieting. It's weird, but for some reason I don't like the thought of it.
