Ok, so I'm a 16 year old girl, I weigh about 138-140lbs (my weight fluctuates easily) and I'm 5'11 1/2.
For my age and height this is an appropriate body weight, and I already look very naturally slim (I'm guessing my body fat is somewhere between 16%-19%) but I really want to slim down to around 125-130lbs so I can get back into modelling.
My main concern though, is my stomach. My legs are perfect, my thighs don't touch and my hips are nice and toned. My other problem area is my arms, however I do weight training and cardio which has helped tone my arms immensely so I don't really need any extra advice there. But my stomach is just a pain. When I am standing/lying down my hip bones are visible, but so is the little pouch of fat. When I am standing my stomach is flat, from a side view there is a little bit of fat, but whenever I sit down, it's like magically three rolls of fat appear. My stomach also feels hard since I do ab exercises twice a week, and I work out four times a week.
Since I'm a girl I don't want 'hardcore abs', I just want a flat stomach and to look great and toned. I've been trying to achieve this goal for 2 months now, and although my stomach has decreased SOMEWHAT it still needs a lot of work.
I don't know what to do, I have eliminated any fattening foods, processed foods, and fast food out of my diet entirely but I still can't manage to lose that little fat.
My diet ranges from 1200-1500 calories, somedays I can actually go without eating, not by choice (I don't have an eating disorder-no worries) but I just become very busy and have rarely time to eat apart from maybe an apple or a bite of salad.
I would love the way I look right now if it weren't for my stomach.
Does anyone have any tips (apart from crunches, I do 100 of those a day and they do nothing) for something specific that I can do to tone that area? Thank you so much in advance.
