My abs are too weak to even complete a single exercise
I've tried planks, sit ups, crunches, reverse crunches, leg lifts, and ab bicycles. No matter which I do, the pain is so intense that I can barely complete a single rep. My abs are so weak that I can't complete an any of these exercises without putting pressure on my legs or back to support me. How can I possibly build…

What can I do about my tiny legs
I'm 5'4 and 120 lbs so not technically overweight, but you wouldn't guess it from looking at me. I have a huge stomach (fat, not water retention). Despite this, my thighs are skinny and my calves are like tapered matchsticks. I also have wide hips, but they're high up on my body and although I have a small waist, it is…

Months of overeating!
So for the past few months life has been a little hectic for me, and I haven't been watching what I eat. If I had to make a guess, I'd say I've been eating upwards of 2000 calories a day, a good half of those calories being from junk. I'm only 5'4 and not very active, so I know 2000 is too much. Previously I was on 1300…

Obsessed with food. How do I take control? :(
My life revolves around food. Every morning I wake up, eat breakfast, log my calories, and spend the next couple of hours counting down the minutes to my next meal. And that continues throughout the day, to the point where my head is perpetually filled with thoughts of food and calories. The irony of it all is that I have…

Why does my stomach look like this? Please help
I've posted regarding this problem before, but didn't really get any solid answers other than that I should see a doctor. I've taken some clearer photos this time and I'm hoping someone will be able to enlighten me. For the longest time (as long as I can remember) my stomach has been a really weird shape. It bulges out and…

I want thicker thighs and calves
My body is kind of an "inverted triangle" at the moment. My rib cage and shoulders are naturally broad, and my lower body (butt/thighs/calves) is skinny. I'd like to have thicker legs to balance out the broadness of my upper body, to be more "pear" shaped. I'm looking to target my thighs and calves. I've read about doing…

Bulging lower stomach!?
Hey MFP, first time poster here. I’m hoping you guys can give me some advice or enlightenment on my problem. Basically for as long as I can remember I've had this strange 'bulge' around my lower stomach. I've never seen this on anyone else, even people who are heavier than me. I’ve searched google high and low and I…
