HELP: I dont want muscles, Just want to get rid of flab!

I want my body to look like this:



and this



not this:



(if it works)

They are different levels of body fat. The lower the body fat the more muscle will be visible. And the last one took a lot of work to get to. You don't accidently end up looking like her even if you lift heavy.

I don't want to go down that path But thanks for the idea anyway :P
I am prepared to lift weights, but I just would like some suggestions at how how much of them to do and roughly how heavy the weights should be so I could get the desired result.

I'm not sure this is much of a desired goal....hence the lack of advice.

The only way you get these bodies is by being them. Until you can be comfortable with you are now, you will not find success when you get to a similar body as any of them.

^^ that too. ( about not being able to look like someone else)

OK, perhaps there is another issue going on here.

What body type do you have now and why do you believe you need to look like these women?

We all have to accept that we have genetics that will ultimately dictate how we look. Yes, we can alter bod shape and weight to a degree but only so much.

Your ultimate goal should be to be as healthy as possible. When you accomplish this your body will look exactly the way it's supposed to.

I'm pretty sure you will not "accidentally" end up looking like the lady at the bottom in the black shorts and top. (I'd actually LIKE to look more like her, especially the abs! But that would take some very hard work and concentrated lifts. It's not gonna happen if you eat at a calorie deficit and occasionally pick up some light weights...I don't know who the other two people are, if they are famous actresses or something maybe you can Google their workout routines. Also keep in mind that neither lady is flexing, so the muscles appear soft...if either of them flexed a bicep I betcha they would show visible muscle.

To each their own. Good luck.

I'm actually shaped a bit like the girl in the second pic and I lift heavy. I am not sure anything gets rid of loose skin.

this is me:





The reason I don't look all muscly is my BF% has never gone below 19. But I am super strong.

You aren't making sense. Either you want to firm up and retain muscle while losing fat (lifting heavy weights). Or you want to lose as much weight as possible with little regard to muscle retention. I seriously can not tell from your posts what you even want.

Have you had your Body composition done? That might help you closely monitor your body fat, while you can use the advice of all these intelligent folks like lifting light weight at longer reps, if you are worried about "overdoing" the muscles, ask a professional where you should be (as far as your BMI) to look closer to these bodies.. they are beautiful bodies might i add. There is nothing wrong with your goal, i think you just need the right tools to set those goals in the first place. Body comp should help. Pilates and Yoga are good for toning without bulking, and are usually a good cardio burn as well. Wish you the best. I agree with all of those who said you cannot get muscles by accident.. i TRY to get them and they still don't show ...YET

Yes, you are entitled to look however you want to but I think without weights its going to be difficult to get rid of the "wings"

Dumbbell Tricep Extension: Sit straight or stand for this one. Grab a dumbbell holding it over your head with both arms and slowly lower down behind your head… and return to start. You can also use just one arm at a time but of course make sure to lower the weight you would use.

3. Skull crusher: I just like the name of this move… Lay on a bench with a small barbell, the gym often has smaller 3 ft. pre-weighted ones… hold it up straight and slowly bend the arms lowering the bar towards your forehead. Work on slow lowering of 4-6 seconds.

4. Close Grip push-ups: This one you can do anywhere! And like the dips it’s an overall muscle workout. Core, back, chest and especially the triceps. Get into a push up position and place hands directly under your shoulders. Keeping elbows in by your side lower down for push ups and return to start. Make sure you’re squeezing your stomach and butt at the same time!

Look up tricep exercises for women on the internet.

Hope this helps....
