Well I guess I'm a "newbie" ;)

  • A little about me?
    Well, I'm 16 and I've never really thought of myself as "fat" or "overweight"; I don't guess I really do now either. However, I never thought as myself as skinny, but in these past couple of years I've noticed how "skinny" I really kinda used to be. You see, I used to take dance classes at a local studio. I took them from about 3 or 4 all the way until 7th grade. I stopped not only because the studio was closed down, but because I became a drill team captain for my middle school's drill team. After drill team, I was still in P.E. so I didn't notice a change until the summer before freshman year. I noticed that I really didn't wear the same sizes I used to. Slowly, I started to notice that my stomach "pooches" out more than it did and I feel like my thighs (which, I've never been a fan of) are bigger, and I'm just not as confident as I used to be. I know a lot of it is because I'm not doing physical activities weekly like I used to be. I've got my P.E. credits so I don't want to be in gym anymore at school, we didn't do anything in there anyway; really, we sat.
    So, I guess my point is that I'm wanting to get heathy and lose flab and not feel self concious anymore, I'm tired of it!


    I saw an old thread (when I searched it on Google) about the Skinny Switch Secret or whatever? That (like everyone else said in the thread) intrigued me. It seemed like a believable concept that seems like it could work. My question is: is there anyway I could possibly do the same concept at home (I understand a good amount of work invovled) with out having to pay for the membership?

    I know I can get meal plans off the internet and stuff, but I want to use the same method as that program does, the "load up" and "lean out" or whatever.
    If this method really does work like it seems like it could/I've heard it does.

    Help?

    haha, thanks for reading, I know it's as long as a novel

  • welcome !

    i dont know about the skinny switch i'm afraid. is it something to do with the gabriel method, cause i know he talks about something like that. haven't read the book yet.

    but my advice would be to make healthier choices. eat more veg and fresh fruit and less of the junk and you will see a change in you. and try to get in some exercise everyday or every other day no matter how little it is, and gradually build up

    you can do it!

    I don't know what that is? Haha. Umm, I saw it on an infomercial. The guy that created it is Rob Nevins?

    But thank you for the tips, that's what I'm going to try to do!
