Answer 1

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

Don't expect it all to be fixed in just a month. It takes time. Sadly it's easier to get out of shape than to get into shape, and when you get into shape finally, you have to keep it up or you will quickly decline to your former self. Sad fact of life I'm afraid. :( Also don't forget to eat a sensible low fat diet that is sustainable. Try situps and a bit of weight lifting, because although you cannot target a spot to lose the fat from, you can tone the muscles which it a lot of help. If you are serious about your workouts and keep them up on a regular basis.. Keep your heart rate up for at least half and hour three times a week minimum, then you will see results eventually. Lay off of fizzy drinks too as they bloat you a lot. Good luck! ;)

Answer 4

You might have to watch what you eat, salt and sugar are the two most common cause of water retention. Try to avoid those two especially around the time of the month. Also, eat more fiber if you haven't done so.

Coffee is diuretic, if you are a coffee drinker, that would help you get rid of extra water. If you don't drink coffee, then try eating celery which is also a diuretic veggie.

Answer 5

Hang in there. You have hit the point that you think you should be starting to see good things happen but you feel like your going backwards. Your not. Keep going in about 2 maybe three weeks all of a sudden you will go "hey what happened? Did all of my clothes suddenly grow?" I did it, I remember, It was really cool. Good luck

Answer 6

it could be water weight. maybe the times its bloated and hard ar the times you just ate and are digesting your food. if its not fat then you shouldnt worry about cardio, how much ab work do you do? it could be muscles. make sure you eat the right type of foods as well, i cnat tell you how much you need without knowing more about you, like you age, activity level, past health histroy and such

Answer 7

could be a food problem - eliminate all gluten-containing grains for a few weeks to see if you get the results you want. Also, make sure your workouts are high-intensity to burn body fat (the body adjusts to steady-pace exercise quite easily resulting in a body "shape" that doesn't change)

Answer 8

What are you eating? Are you drinking a lot of soda or other high sodium foods that would cause you to retain water? Are you eating foods that cause you to be gassy like soy?

Answer 9

Midol

Answer 10
