Don’t hurt yourself. I know so many modles who have hurt themselves badly over starving thme selves. Try situps and the plank. The plank is where you go into a push up possition on your elbows and hold it. It hurts your stomach but works like a charm.

It should definitely NOT matter whether you measure before or after eating. Your posture will also affect the results. Give yourself time to get up & start the day before you start measuring anything – otherwise, you might scare yourself out of eating the healthy breakfast you had planned, and then end up chowing down on snack food later. In fact, right after exercise might be a great time to measure – if you’re not exercising, there’s not much point thinking about the numbers.

If you want to maintain a certain figure, you may be able to find a personal trainer. I’ve gotten advice from them myself for sports, rather than modelling, but here’s what I know:

In general, if you want slim rather than bulky muscles, you want to do a lot of gentle exercise rather than hard-core straining. Try finding something you enjoy and can do a lot, like dancing, aerobics, swimming, or running/walking. Or watch people around you with the figure you want, and ask them what they do.

For the stomach in particular, there’s a lot you can do at home. You can do a variety of crunches – like tiny sit-ups. Avoid pulling on your neck with your hands, or straining your back. Just lie on the floor, knees slightly bent, and lift your upper body a little ways. It’s easy enough – the hard part is doing it again and again. You can also try twisting, bringing one shoulder toward the opposite knee, to work the sides. For lower abs, try lifting your legs about six inches off the floor- leave them straight, hold them up as long as you can.

If you do a lot of these exercises, you may also want to exercise your back. Too much muscle on the front could drag down your posture. There are stretches and lifts that are good for this – but I can’t describe them safely without pictures. Basically, you make sure your back is supported, while using the relevant muscles. For weights, you can use bottles of water.

Posture is incredibly important for modelling, and appearance generally. You want a body that can move gracefully, and stand beautifully, and not get too tired by the end of a long day. That comes from a balance between all your muscles, having a good diet, and being able to relax while standing or moving. You can combine a whole bunch of individual exercises to achieve this – or you can find one activity you love, that uses all your muscles and balance.

Don’t be afraid of building a little muscle – the more you have, the faster you can burn the fat off, and then you can moderate your exercise and diet to slim down further. You may find that you actually get heavier while you get smaller. Don’t worry; this is because muscle is denser than fat. When I’m in good shape, I’m about ten pounds heavier, and two sizes slimmer, than when I’m just lazing around.

The trick is going to be sticking with your plan. For it to work, you need it to become “normal,” part of your everyday or weekly routine. Stick to one plan for at least six weeks before you decide if it’s working – or, if it makes you miserable, get a different plan. Once you find the right balance between healthy food, exercise, and lifestyle, you will be able to enjoy both your life and your figure.
