losing weight with large ribcage for women...

I read a lot of posts in the past about women being sad about their huge ribcage when I was looking for a solution for my large ribcage. It made me sad how many women were so bothered by it and how they admitted to becoming bitter towards other women for their small ribcage. I first want to say, it's worse in your own eyes, I've seen big rib cages...BIG, and these women pull it off just fine, we are our own worst critics. But anyways! I wanted to ask if anyone tried the breathing techniques and abdominal strengthening exercises? It's made a huge difference for me. I too was told I lookedmalnourished and that I was too skinny for my own body. I didn't start to see improvements, though, until I had lost the desired amount of fat and started toning. Very padded bras help keep the proportion, and you don't need a small ribcage to still look good. I got my big rib cage from my mom. But really try the ab and breathing techniques, my sister and fianc? have both asked me how I made my ribs smaller andI haven't gained a pound!

seem to be gaining on not a very large amount of food...help??!!

I'm not sure if it's just me, but from reading what other people seem to eat, in comparison, mine seems to be less, but yet i'm still gaining? I know it differs from person to person, but still.....if they say you need 2000-3000 to gain, at most i'm only getting like 1800???

here's today, anyway:

B: 30g granola with alpro almond milk, 250ml orange juice and 1 piece of brown toast with bertolli

S: Strawberries

L: 6 pieces of fish sushi, salad, orange, 125g fruit yogurt pot

S: McDonald's small fries + ketchup

D: 80g roasted pork, 3 pre-made roast potatoes, at least 3 cups of steamed mixed veg ( I like veg (: broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc) and a petit filous yogurt

S: Options instant hot chocolate, frozen berries and 100g l/f natural yogurt

Eeek! Large unexplained weight gain!

Hi,

Sorry to trouble cc with a post like this, but I really need some support/words of wisdom!

I know that weight varies from day to day, but my weight has suddenly gone up by 6 pounds in 2.5 weeks.  I've thought about my intake and I guess I've had maybe 100 calories extra on around 6 days or so.  Maybe been a little less active.

I am quite bloated today and took some laxatives last night which haven't worked yet, could that me part of the cause??

Once again sorry to bother others with my problems but if you have anything which might explain this for me then pleeeease do post.  I just don't know whether this gain is real or whether it's water/bloating etc.

Thanks so much!
