Theres so much I've read about getting your pre pregnancy body shape back. I'm 23 weeks. I like my bigger thigh's, butt, hips, boobs, etc. The only thing I'd like to get in shape after the birth is my stomach. I like my thighs, I feel so much more womanly and confident. What can I do about getting my belly inshape after birth but not the rest of my body?

I am a 20 year old female, I'm 5'6 and weigh about 150 and I have never been able to do pushups. I can do about 10 of what I call "half pushups" where I only go half as far as I'm supposed to, but I can't hit the 90 degree angle that I need. I've been trying the last month or so to build up my upper body strength (as well as do other exercise to lose some weight before basic), but it's not helping my pushups. I understand that I need to keep at it, and I most certainly will, but I'm not seeing a lot of a difference. Is there anything I'm not doing that will help me out?

First I tried doing multiple sets a day with 5 pound dumbell weights. I could do ALOT. I did arm curls alternating and lifting them with both arms and I did a bunch of other exercises with them as well. Lifting them to the side, above my head, into my chest. My arms got bigger, so I'm building up muscle, but they haven't helped my pushups at all, so maybe I wasn't exercising the right muscles? 2 days ago I started doing as many "girl pushups" I could at once, my record is a grand total of 17... thus proving my horrible upper body strength, but then I heard that they don't actually prepare your body to do normal pushups at all. :/ I also have a 38C bra size (it was just a random idea, so please no mean comments if this isn't the case), I know that may be TMI or irrelevant, butI just had a thought that part of the reason why it's hard for me is because of the added weight of my breasts?

So in a nutshell, is there anything else I can do to improve chest/arm muscle strength and thus be able to do pushups other than just lose weight so there's less to lift? lol I have recently started doing 3 sets of 30 seconds (with 10-15 second breaks in between sets) of holding myself up in the pushup position without moving. I'm hoping that helps build some of the muscle that I need. It actually isn't that hard to do though, even on my third set, so I'm wondering if I'm just plain doing pushups wrong, if I should continue what I'm doing, or if I should add some different exercises to help me out?

I don't leave for BMT (Air Force) until at least August, so I have plenty of time, but I really want to be in shape by then and be able to do a decent amount of pushups. Any ideas would help. Please no derogatory comments. I'm not fat or completely out of shape, I've just never had great upper body strength.

Thanks everyone!
Thanks, Jeff. I thought that it had to do with my core, though my abs are pretty strong. I'll definitely work on that. I think my back is the problem too, as far as strength goes. Thank you for the well thought out and polite answer. And I didn't mind mentioning the "TMI" part, I was just hoping to avoid rude answers like the first person who answered. lol
Thank you for the answer, Jeeper. I forgot to mention that I also do wall and counter (and basically on anything) pushups wherever I am. If I can't sleep, I try to do pushups, if I'm bored at work, I do wall pushups. From what you guys have said, I'm guessing I'm doing the right things, I just haven't done them enough yet to see a real improvement. Thanks so much. :D

I mean no offence to anyone, because I am referring this to an MJ fan on Y/A who says he has been an MJ fan since 2007,and i ain't saying u can't be a true fan just because u are a new one, but he thinks he knows it all.
This is the first time i've ever come across any fan like this, if he's even a fan and not a troll, pausing as a fan.
You,see,He called MJ not fit and flat as a plank with no physical shape to him and he even sent me a picture of a board which i think it's suppose to mean it's MJs body, and this was all because i told him i disagreed with him that MJ wasn't fit or sexy. Anyways,he continued to email me and saying more stuff that sounded like a hater. He gave me no respect even when i told him to stop it.
He said he was giving me facts,as if i don't know about MJ already. What he was giving me was all his opinions,not facts.
Now,i have been a huge MJ fan for over 28 years,so i am very offended, because although i believe a fan is a fan, I hate when SOME new fans tell older fans they know more about someone they have been a huge fan of for almost 3 decades.I grew up in the 80's and that's why i'm hurt and mad,besides, I'm still having a hard time with his death,so i don't need this kind of stress. I love all MJ fans and i went on here to get support and to give support to other fans,not to be insulted by another MJ fan.
What do think? Would you feel the same?

thanks!
my height is 5' 2.5" and i weigh about 98-100 pounds and im a 16 year old girl

It all started in seventh grade. I was having a bad dream when all of the sudden i woke up and i was like struck with intense fear or more like if fear was a physical force and it was holding me down because i couldnt move. I was being paralyzed but it felt more like if something was on top of me. Then something like lightning struck my back. It didnt burn or shocked me. It was very very cold. I didnt see the lightning nor did i see any sort of manifestation of fear on me, i Felt it. After a while it just seemed to stop. And by then i was extremely afraid it might come back or if i was in hell or something like that. I couldnt tell. So i was stuck under my sheets for a while. Id like to say about an hour before i got out and looked at my digital clock. It was 5:30. Now it happend at least seven times after that not exactly like the first but it still happend. It usually was without warning and some were with a dream some werent. All had a physical force like fear on me holding me down. Only did the first time it happend did i feel that sort of lightning on my back. Others had several dreams or visions while it was happening. Its been a year since its happend AND it happend again. Just this time it was very symbolic in my dreams and no physical force of fear did i feel. It was all mostly a dream. It begin in my school cafeteria. No one but two other students were there. It was very dark and ominous and the lights were dimmed. In the middle was a huge oak/mesquite like tree and the two students for hitting the walls while a flow of something like honey was comeing to there feet. They tasted some and so did I and it was the very sweetest thing i ever tasted( keep in mind i was tasting honey in my dream). The tree also had honey on it. But it was hard molded into shape of weird looking fruit. it was apparently uneatable(now that i think of it The tree of adam and eve?). I went outside and were the buses picked people up except there was no one there and the whole place seemed trashed. almost like post apocalyptic. Then out of nowhere a guy with sunglasses on in a motorcycle came to me. I knew it was satan. I dont know how i knew i just knew. he had a white beard and seemed to be middle aged. He gave me a small yellow piece of paper. It had profanity and very cruel evil things written on it.(i cant recall what it exactly said but yeah) And on the bottom seemd to be his signature. A upside down star of david with a circle around written in Red. I went back inside the cafeteria. And the students were motionless. as if there soul had left the body which was like an empty shell. The abudant flowing honey wasnt there and the tree may have disapeard. I went back outside and my parent in some sort of car bus thing had come to pick me up. I saw the piece of paper next to me. I went inside the vehicle and we drove off to some sort of place where you would see a homeless person live. We were around a fire when i went to get the paper i picked it up but by the time i was outside the vehicle (which had somehow turnd into a house thing) it was not in my hand anymore. I tried several times, each time failing. I told my parents the whole story around the fire (the next sentences all happend an a split second)Than the ground shook and my step father seemed to have tried to get away from me to get out of there. And my mother, well she just was wondering wether to abanden me or not. That when I realized where exactly i was... I was in Hell. We were all hit with Intense fear and i WOKE UP. I could still feel the fear in my bed for a while when it just stopd. And again i was in my covers for an hour wondering if i should get out. when i did it was 1:35 in the morning. I was very very scared. I stayed up untill the sun went up, My family had seemed to maybe had been affected by the hold thing. They acted very weird around me. Anyways if i havnt told u yet im in ninth grade. And i dont have a clue why the hell this happens to me. Anyone Know that have had similar experiances?

Why do women wear tight clothing like Low jeans around their waistline & low cut shirts displaying their belly causing them to showoff their "Muffin Tops"?

I have a lady friend that's not as thin as she use to be & she seems unaware that she can't wear the same kind of clothing she use to wear anymore. It bothers me because there's so many other styles that would look great on her.

She still has a nice shape if she would only embrace her body type.

Is there anything I can do or do I just have to let her be?
MuffinTop is the only problem. Everything else is 100% lovely.
Meg & Beau - Thanks for the suggestions.
I've often tried that that. When we go shopping together I buy her dresses & skirts which I love to see her in. The problem is when so goes shopping alone she buys what she likes & she still thinks those styles are cool.

This has been bugging me for some time. I was a gymnast for about 5 years up until I was 10. I had to quit because I moved to Europe. I am now back and I am about to turn 14. I really want to start again. I've been keeping my body in shape, doing sit ups, push ups, handstands whenever I can, etc. but my parents are a bit skeptical. I can still do the basic level 4/5 tricks like back and front handsprings, leaps, and I might even be able to still do a kip. I just need to know if it really is too late for me to start doing gymnastics again and maybe even compete.

Okay so I'm working on a project for English on if I could make up my own Greek god or goddess?. I'm not asking for help on this project I want to know if you made your own Greek God or Goddess what would their name be? what they be a god (goddess) of , who their parent be? what would their symbol of power or weapon be if they have any? it have to be an Weapon from Ancient times, what would they look like? and their Emotions.
Here what mine will be.
Names: Thades (I'm not calling myself a god I'm just using a name)
appearance: look like a 17 years old boy, dark brown hair, ice blue eyes, face of an angel, body built like Athlete, wear a battle helmet shaped like a wolf head, a blue tunic sometimes wear Greek Battle armor.
Emotions: Cheerful, angry, clam, cool, Wise, smart, Kind heart, Heroic, protective. Rebellious, Loyal to the very end, and Powerful.
He'll be the god of Wisdom, Ice, protection, battle, heroes, knowledge, wolves, art and craft, creative art, writing, twilight (not the book Twilight but the combine forces of light and dark) Justice, snow, ideas, psychics, Rebels, Creation and Magic
Parent: son of Athena alone born from her mind same way she was born from Zeus.
Weapon/ Symbol of Power: a magic sword named Nightrage and a shield with a Owl and a Crescent moon in the middle of it.
He would be well known for protecting the Innocent and helping those in need. He'll protect his loved ones, and he would Help Athena if she ever needed it. He'll fight for only for Justice or to protect someone that need it. he won't be the strongest of the gods he would be the second strongest (the strongest is honored to Athena) he would know almost everything Athena know only thing he won't know is the thing is isn't meant to know. So it's your turn now? Give it your best shot okay.

i have to ask.

ive heard

1.
the american akita was the first one but when it became popular here the japanese built there own standard form the dogs allowing, red & white, white and brindle no markings or masks allowed.

2.
they were crossed with the GSD during the world war when they were being hunted for there pelts american soldiers wanted to take them home so they crossed the dogs with the german shepherd.

okay how does that work?

the american akita is bigger and broader than the japanese and comes in a variety of colors and markings the Japanese dont allow. most commonly seen are black masks and pinto on american akitas.

the head and body are shaped completely different .

in case you cant tell the difference.

there is a size difference as well and a weight difference!.

what could of happened to make the two akitas so dissimilar?

the first dogs helen keller had were built like and resembled the american akita and those were the founding dogs here in the U.S

if the japanese have the original akita...(not likely since kamikazi was built like an american akita) why do the japanese akita not have the same colors and markings in them?
even the statue of the legendary hachiko resembles an American akita NOT a japanese akita line

american akita heads and bodies
Hachiko was a FAWN or cream dog NOT ACCEPTED AS AN AKITA In japan
ADD:

clement: what shepherd dog? these are akitas

I'm a 15 year old girl and over the past 6 months to a year, my hips have been getting really wide. I'm not gaining weight, the bones are just wider. For the past couple of months, my waist has been going away, but I'm not gaining weight there either, my shape is just changing. I read in a book that before you have a puberty "growth spurt", you "fill out in your waist, and lose your shape for a while. But, my breasts are still small like they always have been. All the adult women in my family have large breasts, so how long will it take for the rest of my body to adjust to my hips and for me to get my waist back? (i look pretty d@mn awkward right now, especially in skinny jeans)
