Hey people, I'm new, and I'd like some advice :D

I couldn't figure where to post this because it implies excersice/and experience/a goal/ dieting, feel free to move it but I'd love to get some feedback :)

I'm an 18 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall girl, I lost some weight in around 6 months, from 175.78 to 132 lbs, it wasn't hard, my body frame is quite skinny, so what I want is to get rid of all the "soft" bits, since despite the weight loss I don't have the cool body I strive for, I don't want a super hot body, I just want my skinny frame :) , I joined a gym some weeks ago, I do aerobics (they include a massive amount of different kinds of abs and some arm/ legs excersices at the end of the 1 hour class), I'm still a little bit too "soft" despite the weight loss, soft belly, upper arms, and butt/upper legs, so I think I need to find out what are the right excercises (besides the aerobics) and the right things to eat to get rid of what's left of the fat (what's left is the oldest fat in my body, I believe), because I don't feel the excersice is going to be as effective without getting rid of that at the same time (I dont want to harden fat, nor to loose fat and to have not toned body).

This is what I need help with besides the right things to eat:

triceps: they are soft and hang a little (nothing exxagerate! remember I'm 18! but -there is- remaining fat there, need to burn that with the right routines!), I want those to be firm and small!

belly: I'd like it to be flat, without the little rolls, and to be firm.

upper legs/butt: I want those to be smaller and firm, they are the widest bit of myself (remember again, nothing too exagerated, it's not massive, just soft because of the lack of excersice and weight lost)

Please be very specific qhen you answer if you can, I'd like to know the routines, how many reps of each, how many times a week/daily, AND SPECIALY IN HOW LONG I CAN SEE IF THEY'RE WORKING OR NOT

Also please give me a temporarly "what to eat" advice to get those goals, I normally eat well> I dont like pork or cow, I eat mainly chicken, turkey, and fish, all "grilled" (at least I think that's what they call it when you dont use oils or anything else), I love salads, dislike dressings, drink a lot of water.

None of the advice I'm asking for is hard to do for me (excersice/eating right), please just make sure I can do these excercises as home as well, I dont have any problems with doing the stuff, but I do need to know -what- to do!

As soon as I get the response I'll begin, my goal is to be able to wear one of those tank tops and show off my arms/belly without being ashamed of my body, if you help me out I'll post pics as soona s I get results!

If any of you is a professional trainer/nutriologist and can help me out, I can post pics of the parts of my body I want to "fix" so you can give me better advice/know what I'm talking about.

Thanks guys and gals!

remember everything is possible :cool:
 
Sorry I don't have any specific advice. Just wanted to say welcome. Hopefully someone else will have the specifics you are looking for. Have you thought about talking with a trainer at your gym?
 
Hi Mon,

You mention specific bodyparts and wanting to loose the fat in those areas. THe problem is spot reduction of fat is not possible.

If you train your triceps they will tone and get stronger, maybe even grow a little, but that is not going to remove the fat from that area. Same for all bodyparts.

You are right in training the areas as when you loos the fat you will want to be toned, but you need to get cardio into your routine (Running, rowing, cross training etc..) to burn the fat. Unfortunately your body chooses where to burn the fat from. You don't have a say in that, but if you work at it enough you will get what you want.

Try cardio 3 times a week after a light weight training session (Machines or Free Weights if your comfortable)

As for specific exercises you would be best speaking to an instructor in the gym as they will show you how to perform them correctly. Reps should be reasonably high... Try 3 sets of 15 reps and perform your cardio immediately after the weight session as your body is about ready to turn to burning fat as an energy source by that point and your cardio will be most effective.
