i tried the pills for a period of time and I did not notice much of a difference, but i didn't have much weight to lose either

Thanks! I also heard from my mom that it is somewhat genetic. All of the women in my family are healthy and thin but they still have that extra little bit of skin/fat

maybe you can try to get her and her friends to sign up for an active activity together like dance or a sport, that way they will be doing it together and it will seem less like a work out. even if they just walk around the neighborhood together to chat, or maybe u could suggest her riding her bike to school?

^^^^I'm 5 '7 and reached my goal of 110 and also have a small frame...I used to weigh 130 and i had a big tummy and large thighs

^^^^thank you so much....my physical therapist said i had tight hip flexors.....im definitely going to continue stretching them now

^^^my favorite non-fruit snack since I don't eat gluten and try to eat a lot of veggies and proteins instead of gluten free crackers etc.

thanks everyone so much for the feedback! I'm a fruit fiend so I will try to eat more veggies maybe that will help. i mean it's a tiny pooch but it bothers me....I also bloat after I eat anything...no matter what it is or how much....i don't know how to fix that either...maybe my abs are too weak

the kind at whole foods that you grind yourself mmm i used to like maranatha but after i tried the one mentioned above it tasted artificial to me, even though its organic.

thank you so much!

my TDEE is 1819

thanks so much! i dont remember my TDEE precisely but something tells me its in the 1600-1700 range

I used to be a dancer and we did alot of crunches...im not sure if that contributed to just the upper abs developing. But what specific exercises would be good for my lower abs?

Im a female. I dont think it's my ribs although they do stick out strangely a little....i guess it's just the way they are because I am eating a proper amount, but this "ab" results in a crease above my belly button.

ok thanks for the opinions! I drank a light one after working out yesterday and I was just wondering if it helped with muscle building/recovery or if it is just a hype thing

^^^^ THESE TOO! I forgot about them.

granny smith, fuji, or kikku

i find that I always need to be chewing something so to avoid eating loads of food, i use gum. I'm addicted and i'm trying to ween off of it but so far it has helped so much.

can you make oatmeal with muscle milk or does it not work...

naturally thin by bethenny frankel really helped me

^^^^SAME! I was too low on calories so I would be good all week and then every Sunday it was like my body couldn't take it and I was craving everything in sight. Also, my cravings are worse during that time of the month.

tuna tataki (seared) or tuna salad but instead of mayo use guacamole

This makes sense! Now that you mentioned it, I haven't had a decent poop in 3 days. Thanks everyone I feel alot better about everything now. I just have to keep reminding myself to love my body no matter what =)

106 grams yesterday...

^^^^same

chicken or tuna, spinach, carrots, cucumbers, mushrooms, strawberries, chickpeas, roasted red peppers, avocados, tomatoes, feta cheese, craisins.....it varies....I make sure i only pick one "treat" per salad though like cheese, craisins, or avocado so its still healthy. I like using balsamic vinegar or a lite vinegarette…

what is ur carb, fat, protein ratio? just curious

oops i forgot to write what kinds of fats... i eat avocados, nut butters, and use olive oil in cooking

I had hit a plateau and increasing my calories/fat helped me break it.
