What I do is I wear my small size 32 (men) jeans that don't even button any more and I dance in them so I can feel the annoying fat while dancing. It's a great motivator, trust me!

I'm only 112 lbs & 5' 2'' but my middle is "bulgy, no waist line & have saddle bags".....otherwise, I look great even though I'm 66. But I'm not accustomed to this "fat middle" & I still want to look good (sexy) in my clothes. I'm going to try this "5 ways to girth control" & will let you know if it works. If anyone else has same problem & any suggestions, please e-mail me & I'll do same.

sorry to tell you - you need to loose 10lbs.

I kinda laughed when I read this, because I have believe in almost everything I just read for years. I am 43 years old and people are constantly asking me how I stay so skinny and I tell them most of what I just read here is my seceret, but now I need to start exersizing a little bit more than I have and eat more veggies than I do because just walking fast(like I am always late for something) and holding my stomach and butt while I am walking isn't quite doing the job now. I am starting to feel a little belly giggle, but I will get this under control soon. So don't doubt anything that they have said here, because it worked the best after I gave birth to my daughter at the age of 33 and I looked better after than I did before I became pergant.

wow, shes 66 and you said she needs to lose weight !!thats not alot of weight all she was looking was tips to help her out

You have GOT to be kidding! This woman sounds as though she is in great shape and may just need to tone a little but loosing 10 lbs is certainly NOT the answer. I honestly think that she may also be a little too harsh on herself, we are all our own worst critic and certainly don't need someone adding to that! Melba do some focus training on that area, you will be amazed at the changes!

Good luck Melba and I wish you the best of luck with success. Sounds to me you look fine but it is we, the person, who has to be happy with ourselves or we can not be happy with others. We must love ourselves first, and others will give it back.
