You need to regulate what you eat with the exercise you do now and then you may put on a few pounds but you can quickly lose that small weight gain.

I do 30 min of cardio, 20 min of streches, crunchs, and then walk for 20 min. Why am I gaining weight??? Shouldn't I be loosing?? I am doing more exercising now then when I was loosing weight. PLEASE RESPOND!!!

I was just reading over all your guy's messages, and I think it's great that we all want to help one another. But I think a lot of you are missing a major point. To loose weight, it takes a lifetime commitment. Once you get down to your goal weight, you have to work just as hard as you did to get there to maintain what you've accomplished.

I think it's great that some girls can be skinny naturally, but I'm naturally curvy, and I intend not to conform to anybody's idea of the "perfect woman" as long as I am healthy and feel good about myself. I hope you will consider that also. Good luck to all of you. (view less)
