One of the biggest questions we get here at GL is, “How can I get flat abs?” followed by, “How can I get rid of the fat on my thighs?” Keep reading for Dr. Lavinia Rodriguez’s revealing answer...

“One thing that is a proven a fact is there’s no such thing as spot reducing,” she swears. Steer clear of any products that promise to blast fat off one section of your bod, too. “If it says it targets fat where you don’t want it, don’t buy it. Those things are just scams.” What’s a girl to do? Instead of searching for a miracle to shrink your thighs or flatten your tummy, make li’l changes to eat healthier foods and incorporate a variety of exercises into your daily routine. Eat those veggies, sweat it out regularly and, in a few weeks, you’ll see some results. It’s gonna take time to shape up, but make a point to have fun along the way!

Mod?
This is exactly the opposite problem for me, I need
to gain weight, I got high metabolism, everyone tells
me tht I look like I didn't eat for months! I eat
regularly! Sometimes I skip meals, sometimes I eat
junk food, I wanna be healthy not a too skinny girl!
Plus some girls in my skool even said, youre the
skinniest person I ever met, but alas you can
charm every cutie in our school without noticing!
Ugh! Plz help! My doctor even said I need to eat more!
EVERYBODY TELLS ME!

Hey girlie,

I think asking your doc what he would suggest is a good idea. But if you want to gain weight then it's not a good idea to be skipping meals.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD i have some fatt on my butt and thighs. how can i get rid of it.........FAST oh and im 13, tall, and im 185 POUNDS

im insucure and shy alos HELP

Hey chica! Did you see where I answered this when you posted it before? If not, you can always add some more activity to your daily routine. Cut out most of the junkfood that you eat, and replace it with healthy treats, like fruits. Play a sport with a friend, walk your dog if you have one, jump some rope, or do a workout or dancing video after school each day. Find a fun way to get moving

And, just so you know, losing weight fast is never healthy. The faster you lose it, the less likely you are to keep it off.

MOD MOD MOD Dear MOD, I am 13, in the 8th grade, and weigh 135 pounds!! I am bigger than most girls in my class (expesially in my waist line!) and it makes me super self consious. I looked at the BMI calculator and it said I should weigh 110! I need a way to lose 20 pounds FAST! Help!!!

Hey chica! First of all, FAST weight loss is unhealthy, and the faster you lose it, the more likely you are to gain it back. Slow and steady wins the race, right? Start adding more activity and exercise into your schedule. Walk around your neighborhood with a friend each afternoon, or take your dog for a daily walk. Join a gym, or rent/buy a workout video. And, cut out fast food from your diet. You can eat it every now and then, but on a daily basis, you shouldn't drink soda, eat fast foods, or other junk excessively. Add some fruits and veggies to your diet. And, try some new recipes at home with your mom for dinner

mod mod mod i really love wearing shorts and when i walk i look down a lot and i always notice my theighs jiggling it makes me a lil self concesice nd i know im not a big girl what should i do the get my theighs more firm

Hey girl! Eating a variety of nutritous foods and exercising - especially a mix of cardio and strength - is the best way to have a healthy and toned bod. GL has lots of great workouts that you can try. But also, remember that everybody "jiggles" a little - it's totally normal!
