drink water and green tea, exercise daily, you could even try eating organic foods, it really helps!.!!

Look up the muscular system and you will see that there is a layer of a white matter that stands in the way of your muscle and your skin. I think this layer makes it very difficult to lose weight in the stomach area from ab work alone. You must add cardio to get abs. Crunches and sit ups alone won't do it. With your height and weight id say you should be eating about 1400 to 1700 calories a day. Eating too much causes the body to store fat and eating too little cause the body to retain and store fat because it knows you are starving it. It 1400 to 1700 and bust your but in a good cardio class or more very often. Walking fast for a few miles is good too. Its hard to believe but it takes food to lose weight. I'm not a personal trainer but its my next goal. I'm 5'9 190lbs so 2000 calories give or take is what I need to stay where I'm at with no work outs and lose with work outs. But should never go over by much. This number changes as we get older up or down.

Start doing some Bicycle Crunches for Abs, Narrow Pull-Ups for Back, Lifting for Biceps, and Pushups for Chest/Pecs. Do this every Monday and Thursday. On Tuesday, Wenesday, and Friday do Aerobics to get you blood flowing. On weekends do a little resting to rebuild your stamina. I've been doing this for quite a while but I'm not impatient or anything.

you are a stupid anorexic *****
you need to eat more than 900 calories a day
you arn't going to see any building of muscle if you dont have nutrients to allow it.
a lot of 5'6" people weigh a lot more than you.

eating small portioned meals throughout the day helps keep your metabolism going, constantly burning calories. snacks (healthy ones!) here and there help as well.
