I want to be healthy too. But I'm 20 years old and I'm just so unhappy with my weight. I use to be way bigger than this some years ago, about 50 pounds heavier, but now I just want a flat stomach lol. I want to be more confident. I wear a waist trainer a lot and that's been helping... But I'm not where I need to be. I've been healthy lately... But recently I've been slacking... Not anymore! I have to get determined.

A waist trainer doesn't do anything for weight loss or shaping your body. Your shape is your shape and using a corset to try to manipulate your shape is in vain. Yes you'll have a smaller mid section while wearing it, but after taking it off, the skin and tissue will expand back out to where it's supposed to be.
You want a flat stomach? Consistent calorie deficit with some weight training to help retain lean muscle. There really are no gimmicks or short cuts to achieve it. Well unless you're thinking lipo.

I know.... But I work out in it and it honestly has made my waist smaller, and I sweat more in it.0

Sorry if this sounds creepy, but you're so pretty!
I am trying to get that flat tummy as well and also shaving some fat from my thighs. I hope you are successful in your journey!

I hear you. I just want to fit better in my clothes. And I'd like to wear my bikini again0

Thank you!!!! We'll both reach our goals girl!0

Amen to that!0

I know the reality... BUT (another one) I LIKE WAIST TRAINING. Thanks though.0

You sweat more because your skin can't release heat. Same thing would happen if you wore a plastic bag around your body. And it ain't fat that's being released. It's water. Water weight returns when you drink water.I know.... But I work out in it and it honestly has made my waist smaller, and I sweat more in it.
This isn't the first time I've discussed this with females on the topic. I've discussed it for over 20 years. And SCIENCE doesn't support what celebrities want you to believe. Whether you want to believe it or not, fat loss comes from calories in versus calories out. There are no magic or special ways to achieve it.

But that's the thing... It works for me. May not work for everyone else. Until you've tried it, you can't say it doesn't work, and you especially can't say it doesn't work for me... Not here to argue, I'm here for motivation... You're not doing a good job at that, soooo.... Bye. ☺️0

And I didn't say there was a magical way to achieve it! I know it takes more than a damn waist trainer... But I also want a smaller waist... It has been making my waist smaller for years.0

Apparently it doesn't work for you or you wouldn't have had the need to start this thread. Motivation by lying to people about their chosen path is not motivation ... it's enabling at best.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people want to disregard the obvious to support their choices that aren't doing what they want.

In my thread I said I've been slacking lately... When i first started losing weight I was waist training... And it was helping. I just have to get back on it like I was. Again.... Bye.0

The waist training isn't what does it. Caloric deficit is.
The willful disregard of science is what makes fad diets a multi-billion dollar industry.0 -
You "think" it works for you. But what you're looking for isn't motivation (that's internal and no one can get you to do something you don't want to), but pacification or justification on what you're doing.But that's the thing...

Anyway, I gave you advice and have trained hundreds of people who were looking for the same thing you're looking for. Hopefully anyone lurking who reads this will understand that experience in the field actually counts.

So in other words, you got tired of wearing it? Wouldn't it be logical to never take it off then if it works? It's okay to fall for a gimmick if you didn't know about it. Most people have at one time or another. You want to look good naked? You should try to take advice from people that know how to do correctly.In my thread I said I've been slacking lately...

Well I still don't see anything wrong with them... They make me feel good. They won't hinder my weight loss.0

Weakening your core isn't something you see as wrong? Actually squishing your organs around isn't something you see as wrong?
Likes and feels don't supersede science, fact, and logic.0 -
I'm on the "don't use a waist trainer" bandwagon. Sorry, I think they are risky.
But, the good news is, there's a way you totally can look better naked - strength training! Look into a progressive lifting program like Stronglifts 5x5 or New Rules of Lifting for Women.

Am I the only one here that actually agrees that waist training can be good?? Guys stop attacking her! As long as you don't go so small that you can't survive without one, corsets aren't gonna kill ya. I have two and have been meaning to get back into waist training. Before when I did it my posture improved, I noticed a significant difference in the size of my waist (when I wasn't wearing the corset), and I just felt good!0

Telling the truth about "waist training" isn't an attack. Again, feels and likes don't supersede science.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but in the time of the 1700-1800, romantic novels and stuff, women wore corsets every day, and their waists were incredibly small. Now, it actually rearranged their internal organs because they wore them so tight, but they worked to make a small waist. No it doesn't help with working off calories, but the way some of you are talking to this girl is really discouraging and demeaning her intellect. There is a better way to express your professional opinion.
As long as she's exercising and eating right, who cares what else she wears? Let the girl live.
However honey, don't wear that thing to tight, because it could harm you in the long run. But I wish you an AWESOME weight loss journey!!0 -
Beats a waist trainer both in price and results:

She didn't ask for your opinions on her waist trainer. People wore corsets constantly for years in the past, as long as she's being careful there's nothing wrong with it. Y'all need to calm down and get off her back. Just losing weight doesn't get you a flat stomach, even when I was small in high school I still had a bit of a gut.

"motivation" has many different definitions. Sure, it's something you give yourself, but other people encouraging you is motivation too, you make it sound like she's an attention *kitten* or something, the whole point of having a weight loss COMMUNITY is to encourage and motivate eachother.A waist trainer doesn't do anything for weight loss or shaping your body. Your shape is your shape and using a corset to try to manipulate your shape is in vain.

Vain? Wanting to look good is vain? WTF is wrong with you?? Isn't that why most of us are here? To be healthy and to LOOK GOOD! A woman takes care of herself and she's vain, but if she didn't care about her appearance she'd be "ugly" "ratchet" or something else along those lines.
There's NOTHING wrong with wanting to look a certain way. If a girl wants to wear makeup or lose weight or wear something because it makes her feel good then that's awesome!
Sorry for ranting, but y'all need to step off and leave this girl alone.0 -

the only one who needs to calm down is yourself. and dont forget other people come in and start reading posts and think oh waist trainer what a good idea. so thats why people will jump in and warn others.
She can do whatever she likes
and you dont need to be sorry, you can rant your head off if you'd like, after all is your body.0
