What is the best exercise to tone stomachs?

These will target the muscles all around your abdominal area. If you've not lost enough weight you'll probably not notice any difference around your stomach

It annoys me when fat people try and get toned.

(This is SO not aimed at Rosie, I'm thinking about someone I know)

Big people CAN be toned though.

Big models aren't exactly flabby!

Like PF said, bigger people can still be toned. I know I'm just echoing what PF said but it's just a bit of an issue to me.

Yeah, It's not aimed at her, but larger frames can be toned, and at least they are trying to improve there figure in some way. I think this was a really mean coment to say. If you ever got in the circumstance when your older, that you gained weight, and was a bigger frame..and wanted to shift it..Part of the procedure is to tone up, and eat healthy. So I really don't see whats so annoying about it at all.

I've been bigger thx.

'Caus we all go to Michelle for advice on health and fitness.

Its annoying because fat people should just stfu and lose weight. "Toning" up is a stupid word used to make exercise and doing weights sound better for women to do. If you lose weight and gain muscle you will appear "Toned", it is not a state - Its an appearance.

Did I say you all came to me for advice on health and fitness. No?kthnx.

I was just voicing and opinion, and Rosay you haven't been fucking bigger. okay a few pounds? You call yourself fat all the time, and starve yourself to be slim? when its really pointless because you don't need to! I have NEVER saw a photo of you fat ever. Even though you say you are constantly.
And when I say bigger, I don't mean a couple of pounds, I mean a couple of stone bigger.

I don't see how you find that annoying at all, it's quite pathetic really. Fat people are obviously trying to lose weight when they try to tone their body..They do them both at the same time, When I diet properly I goto the gym and use the weights, do the exercise and stuff to tone up my body. Also how can they make sure they're doing it right if they need to "stfu", In order to tone up..you need guidance,

Michelle, I was not a few pounds bigger. Try a stone bigger yeah. You don't fucking know me.

I FEEL fat. Fat is an opinion. You don't go to the doctors and have them tell you "It seems you're fat." do you. That's called overweight. I know I am not medically over weight but I still FEEL fat.

And don't you dare talk to me about me starving myself when you have no fucking idea of my eating habits nowadays.

And it's not pathetic that overweight people annoy me, they annoy Markeh too and a lot of other people. Losing weight can be done with a bit of self fucking control.

How dare those fat fucking bastards offend you like that? What utter cunts.

Fat can be an opinion, but its also fact. Like fat is fat. Numbers don't lie. And by saying "self fucking control", you make it out to be like its so easy to just use the self control when you want something. If losing weight took little self control, so many people wouldn't be overweight. Its harder for some people than others. I just don't understand why people (not saying you) feel the need to beat others down when they make any effort in being healthier. Like, if its not a big change then slamming the person is okay. Thats the exact opposite that the people with little self control need to hear. This just all annoys me because empathetic people are hard to come by these days.

You really do say this like losing weight is a completely simple thing to do.
From someone who admits they used to be bigger or 'fat', surely you can remember how hard it feels to actually try to lose weight and make all the adjustments needed, and the days where it never seems to work? Surely a lot more than 'a bit of self fucking control'. I'm sure comments like this would have just made you feel 10 times worse.

I wish I could word this better but meh.

At what point did I say fat people offend me?

With my "self fucking control" I am no longer bigger though. And Markeh had enough self control to give up smoking and turn into a health freak. So I don't see why it's so hard for everyone else. If you wanted it enough, you'd do it.

Finding self control isn't always the easiest thing for some people though.
You're right that it is mostly about that, but just the way you're making it out to be a simple thing is just irritating.

Is it you who used to practically starve yourself and go on those stupid crash diets?

Whatever Rosie.

I've never done crash diets. And I don't see why everyone's turned this into how I lose/lost weight?

I'm allowed to have an opinion without being attacked.

I didn't mean to attack, I just remembered you(? I really can't remember) speaking about how you lost weight and it wasn't very healthy. I was just going to say that if it was you I was thinking of that most people would rather lose weight sensibly without causing harm to their bodies, which is going to take longer than if they just starved themselves.
