I know a lot of people said it isn't possible - but just wondering why exactly isn't "spot-reduction" possible? Whenever I've gained weight - it's always gone to my neck, shoulders, arms, bust. Why can't exercises make me lose fat there specifically? I'm so frustrated atm - i've been trying...

Agree 100% - attention seeking. I have a super skinny friend - who knows she is - yet quite often she'll bring on the "omg i'm so fat" phrase out - just cos she's fishing for compliments. Her: "Omg I'm so fat" *puts her hands intentionally around her stomach to emphasise how FLAT it is* Me...

I agree with the weighing yourself! Arghh one day it seem like I've lost weight, but the next day it's back up! :( I hadn't thought about measuring myself with tape, but I'm going to do that instead - much more reliable :) Yeah I've sort of given up on the "losing 20kg", but will just lose...

Lol, as mes ami said, I'm definitely not tiny weight considering my height + me being a female. Yes I'm very chubby though which makes me look even bigger :( Even when I used to be skinny (very long time ago), I always had a certain degree of chubbiness about me (face + arms).

Lol yeah i'm not such a huge fan of summer either. I'm not a morning person either so i'll try getting exercise done at night when it's cooler (like now!) :P Yep I mean clothing size. Currently I'm border line size 10-12 but for my height I'm way too big. Instead of trying to go down to a...

Thx so much to everyone for helping - I've definitely lost 1 kg since I first posted! A question - especially to the girls - what size do you think I should be aiming for? (Considering that I'm verry short ~150cm) And a huge question to everyone - how do you exercise when it's so...

Good advice on the exercise :) What do you think about yoga? I've never tried it personally but i've heard it's very good for you. Does it help in weight loss, or mostly just for toning up/improving flexibility? Yeah I think I may have overdone it a bit last night - must've gone about 15+...

Even then, that's pretty difficult (not eating 3hrs before you sleep) :( But big question - should I go eat now or just try to sleep?

Wow I really admire your dedication - waking up at 6am to go to gym 5 days a week - amazing! And it's really good to hear that that doing weights won't make me extra muscly or chunky :) By the way - the rule "you shouldn't eat past 6/7 pm" really sucks! I can't sleep right now because I'm too...

Lol if you were referring to me then yes I did sleep in today :( I've been trying to get the courage to get out of bed for the last two hours - but I guess I just have to woMAN up :) I don't want to build much muscle, but if I consistently do light weights am I likely to lose fat from my arms...

Aw thanks I think this is really awesome advice, and something which shouldn't be too difficult to follow :) :)

Thanks! Yes it helps, I've found heaps of info on Low GI foods on the net :) Except I thought pasta wasn't so good to have, but it's listed Low GI?? Low GI Foods | List of Low GI Foods for healthy diet Lol i'm not so desperate to take pills to lose weight :) I want to do it the healthy way...

Thanks everyone, I've just had a read of all the posts, and all the suggestions/advice is awesome! Today I woke up, drank water first up, ran for 20 mins and had a nice healthy breakfast (although I threw up straight after :( ) I guess eating breakfast will take some time getting used to...

Lol going shopping everyday would be fun, but then there's always food courts that are tempting :(

Lol hmmm I'd rather not be in public in swimwear ---- but this gives me motivation to work harder.

LOL I know what you mean but some people just work better with numbers?

That's amazing! Especially doing it all on your own. I'm hoping I have a similar story to tell soon.

Wow thanks so much! Breaking it down like that makes losing weight seem so much more approachable :) It's so much easier knowing exactly how many calories to take in a day. Lol and I thought I was taking it slow by trying for 20kg in 4 months. I was basing it on my cousin who lost 20kg in just...

Lol you seem like you know a lot about health - especially the sleep advice is the best :D I didn't know vitamin D improved metabolism :S or is that just cause it gives you more energy to be able to exercise more? Anyway I just remembered I have very low iron/vitamin D so i shall try to improve...

The dividing the exercise sounds good - but not sleeping during sunrise? How/why is that good for metabolism :S
