it is obvious that you are really young but what you are doing is not the right thing. You say you want to get a flat stomach without working too hard well that is not going to happen. What you need to do is watch your portions. You can continue to eat things you like but not as much as you use to watch the size of your servings and also eat healthier snacks there are all kinds off 100 calorie snack pack things out there now that are soo good!! And do some type of exercise everyday you dont have to go to the gym or work out everyday for hours but if this is that serious for you work out a few times a week for about 30 minutes run, walk, or play some type of sport if you are into that and then do your crunches. And keep your head up and also if this is that big of a deal talk to your mom about it and ask for her help

You seem really concerned. By the way you type you sound young so don’t worry about your weight.

You are not doing it right. Starving yourself is only going to mess up your system. The ONLY way the reach and maintain a healthy weight in the long run is to take good eating habits. I am speaking from experience. I am over 30 and I still have my high school weight. Just eat well, eat healthy. Never force yourself to finish your plate. If you are full, you are full. Your body knows what it needs.

As a family, learn to have one candy/dessert day a week (e.g. Friday–take out and ice cream). Do NOT buy chips every weekend. Drink alcohol moderately (if you are of drinking age).

If you have a little bit of extra weight to lose, start a physical activity that you enjoy in order to burn calories. I always advise swimming since it is low impact, it is relaxing, and it improves your posture. Stand straight, and keep your butt tight: it will actually make your stomach sink in. Doing crunches will make you grow big muscles on your stomach, so it defeats your goal right now.

its very hard to get a flat stomach without exercising and without taking time. Trust me i no! Drink lots of water, always go for high fibre options like wholemeal bread etc. I have one day where i pig out which is saturday also instead of getting the bus home i walk with my mates which is like 30mins but we walk so slow. Also what are these insure things because if they are yogurt-like they could lead to bloating. How about wholemeal toast and a banana or a fruit salad/smoothie.
Finally dont get obsessed about your weight just eat healthily and in time results will show if you stick to it!!

Just relax! You sound WAYY too young to be worrying about your weight. I’m sorry, diet (as in eating healthy) and exercise are just about the only HEALTHY way to lose weight. Whatever you do, DO NOT BECOME ANNOREXIC OR BULEMIC!! NO NO NO NO NO!!! At my school, there are a TONN of annorexic girls, and they’re DISGUSTINGLY SKINNY. You don’t want to worry about your weight, worry about your health!!

I’m not an expert or anything, but really I think it comes down to a simple thing: you do enough exercise to burn more calories than you eat, and you lose weight.

Crunches dont do much to flatten your stomache I think… that will give you big muscles in there, but to get rid of any fat you should be doing more cardiovascular type workouts, like jogging or aerobics.

I’m a guy, but about 6 months ago I noticed I was developing a little beer gut and I didnt like it. I bought a rowing machine, started watching what I ate a little bit better (but I did NOT starve myself or diet… just less fatty food), and started rowing for 30-45 minutes a day, and that fixed it.
