Should I lose more?

ocean26

So I've been "dieting" for 5 months, I've lost 30 pounds and I'm now at 5'6 120 pounds :happy: ! I'm concerned because it looks like I'm getting very skinny....but I still have a belly and I guess a wide midsection. I've heard that you have to lose weight to get a flat stomach regardless of how many muscle exercises you do, but I'm not sure losing more weight is healthy for me right now. What should i do?

Hey

WOW, that sounds skinny
I lost about 27 pounds and am 5'7 and 130 and still have a bigger mid-section and tummy
My friend is 5'7 and weighs aout 125 and has the same problem
I would not loose more weight because I don't think you need to, nore do I think it will fix the 'problem"
I would concentrate on doing some ab/core exc and maye some yoga and pilates geared towards abs
If I find anything that helps, I'll let you know

for starts congradulations on losing the weight.

I guess the decision is up to you. We can just offer suggestions. To me it sounds like you're at a pretty good weight to lose alot of the negetive health aspects. I say go see someone who'll know if you can los anymore. Go see your doctor They'll know


PS: maybe some toning will help?

Fat content. Cut that, keep your carbs and protein up so you don't lose, and you should tone and define.

You have to do some serious weight training....seriously.

I would say watch your sugar intake and also lots of ab/core training. I started watching my sugar and my midsection really flattened out. I hope this helps.

WOW I can't wait until the day I hit 125!(my goal)

I would do weight training. If you think your looking thin now I wouldn't lose anymore.:drinker:

Wow - you certainly sound small enough,,, but,

Hard to answer without pictures. If you have a tiny frame, 5'6 - 120 might still be a little flabby. If you're a little heavier built that you're quite trim.

Have you done an accurate body fat percentage?

Agree with FitPerf - we should all do some weights. That'll flatten anything...
