Yoga Wear Guru answers:

Unless there is a reason why it’s harder for you to lose weight (e.g. If you are on the pill) then eating healthily and exercising 3 or 4 times a week should definitely make you lose weight. The body needs time to restore itself and so the soreness you were referring to before makes sense if you were working out more than 3 or 4 times. People should only count calories if they are unsure of the amount they are eating, but as you have counted calories in the past then you should know roughly what portion sizes are good for you and when you have eaten too much in one day and you shouldn’t need to check everything. Hope this helps

Hi Crystal,
It sounds like you’re going to be a 6 in tops, and a 6 or 8 in bottoms. I’m approximately the same height and weight as you, and I fit both a 6 and an 8. The size 6 creates the fit intended for the pant, but I occasionally will choose an 8 if I prefer a looser fit. If in doubt, I suggest the 6.

Cheers,
Laura

You are defiantly not overweight. Matter of fact your almost underweight according to the BMI calculator. Plus a size 1 in jeans and small in shirts is not something someone overweight wears. Your fine hun, don’t worry :]

You can look really cute with sporty stuff. There are some cute shorts in the girls section at target ( no i’m not 5 i’m 13 and i like the shorts. I normally shop in the juniors though). I got some for cheer leading there. Also try macys, model’s, dicks, or any other sport store. Get cute t-shirt to match the shorts you buy. Guys like sporty girls. If your looking for yoga pants try victoria secret. Or old navy. Victoria secrets are really good though becuase they give you a nice butt and guys like that;). They have shorts capris and pants so you can get anything there. They also have some other yoga clothing that you can buy to match. I got really nice pumas at the puma store on sale for like 40 bucks. They will look good with anything.

For your hair try a nice flirty poof in a pony tail. You could braid your bangs back. Do 2 cute braids on the side. Messy bun. There are tons of tutorials on youtube. Goo d lcuk and i hope this helps! I like to dance too!

Torrid stores carry cute clothes

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

Athletic Day:
wear shin guards and “warrior makeup’ under your eyes. Its just the black lines football players have under their shirts. You can try to get a hold of some shoulder pads and war them over a cute tank top. OR you can get a jersey and tie it up and make it a belly shirt or just make it tied up.

Wacky Day:
Just find weird things around your house and wear pigtails at different heights. One pigtail at the top of your head, the other near the bottom-and try sticking random objects into your pigtails. And then wear wacky bracelets and possibly take a plain v-neck and write “Wacky” on it.

Kindergarden Day:
Grab a baby bottle and carry it around with you all day. Make your hair like a kindergardener. Try low pigtails with bows in them. Then wear a little dress that is possibly ugly haha, and mary janes, the type of shoe.

Spirit Day:
What are your school colors? Try to dress up in those colors as much as your can. Whatever your school color, try to make streakes of paint on your cheeks, like the football players. And go out and buy your school colors in bandanas. Tie the bandanas around your head, your wrists, anywhere. OR you can paint your whole face on color haha. Wear high socks with your school colors and a (since your a senior, you’r mature) wear a sexy shirt with your school colors. Try to jazz it up. Your on dance team. Good luck

Are the athletic shorts the longer, baggy ones or the shorter, tighter ones? That can be a factor in this. Also, you might be able to get away with the Bermuda shorts if you wear a cute enough top.

I eat basically the same as you ,healthy with whatever my mum cooks for tea and lose on adverige 2lbs a week. Your diet sounds perfect. If you find that your not losing any weight/ losing too much you can easyly adjust it.

Good exercises for the stomach are sit ups, sit ups curling to the side, and lie on the right side of your body with your lower right arm on the floor in line with your body and your other arm resting on your body then lift yourself up so only your right foot and right lower arm touch the floor. Hold for 10-30 secs then do it on your left.

Do 2mins exercises each morning and you’ll have a flatter tummy.

Jogging, walking, swimming, and your dancing will be good for your legs and you can fit it in with school…walk to school/bus stop.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

Not a chance.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

…what are you actually asking?…lol

1. Fat will probably wear away as you lose weight (and you really should given your height…that’s not a particularly healthy weight).

2. Those muscles will probably tone your chest more (probably add some lifting effect).

3. 8 Minute Abs is a pretty solid ab workout.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

Jennifer!
Part of the reason for your weight gain is that your body fat is turning into muscle. So your weight gain is not a failure on your part. You do not say as to how tall you are or what your actual weight is. I am a 68 year old man and I know a lot of women who would die for your dress size of a 14. You also say that you have lost 75 lbs. In the last 3 years. That sounds like something for you to be proud of. If you are really worried about your weight gain talk to your Dr. And see what he thinks.

Buying shirts from Wal-Mart + Kohl’s defeats the point of indie. Indie is buying (or making things yourself!) things that are vintage, ect. It’s basically the support of things that AREN’T mainstream.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

People are gullible. Whoever makes the best ads and commercials can charge more.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

They are complying with the rules.
The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Care Labeling Rule requires manufacturers and importers to attach care instructions to garments. Updates to the Rule became effective on September 1, 2000. The Rule’s section requiring a “reasonable basis” for care instructions has been changed to clarify what is required, and the definitions of “hot,” “warm,” and “cold” water have been changed to harmonize with the definitions used by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC).

Care labels often are a deciding factor when consumers shop for clothing. While some consumers look for the convenience of drycleaning, others prefer the economy of washable garments. In fact, recent surveys show that consumers want washing instructions. Some manufacturers try to reach both markets with garments that can be cleaned by either method. The Rule lets you provide more than one set of care instructions, if you have a reasonable basis for each instruction. Some manufacturers provide instructions for both methods but add, “For best results, dryclean.” This tells consumers that the garment can be washed without damage, but drycleaning may be better for appearance and durability. If truthful and substantiated, care instructions like these are acceptable.

The FTC developed this guide to help you understand how to comply with the Care Labeling Rule. For information about other rules relating to the labeling of textile products for fiber content, country of origin and manufacturer identity, see the FTC publication, Threading Your Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts. Copies of Threading Your Way are available from the FTC’s web site at www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC’s Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580, or by calling toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

It’s not electrical tape… It’s a skinny version of masking tape.

For drafting, I prefer alphanumeric paper, aka dot and cross paper, aka pattern paper. If you’ve got a gridded cutting mat you can put a semi-translucent paper over it (I’ve used newsprint many times) and draft that way. And I’ve made a fair number of patterns out of sheets of newspaper taped together when that’s all that was available.

Some of the larger independent fabric stores sell short cuts of alphanumeric paper… Say 5-10 yards… For not a whole lot of money, but shipping can be pretty bad on it. Or you can order an entire roll from a place like South Star Supply, and have a lifetime supply.

Yoga Wear Guru answers:

Make the size that goes with your body measurements. Pattern sizes come from a completely different universe than store bought clothing sizes and the size ranges bear absolutely no resemblance to each other. And they are not based on “vintage” sizes. In vintage 1950′s sizes you would be a size 16 -and it would still be too small in the waist for you -1950′s patterns assume that you are wearing a very tight girdle. In reality sewing pattern sizes are “true to size” while many store clothes are vanity sized. Don’t be upset by pattern sizes, no one will know what size you have made and you don’t have to tell them. So make the size that is closest to your actual body measurements so you get the best possible fit for your body.

I’ve been answering this question quite a bit over the past year or so as more teens and younger woman start sewing and my advice to you and all my sewing students is the same: Don’t get hung up or upset by size numbers. They mean NOTHING. Zilch. Zero. They are arbitrary symbols assigned to a set of body measurements and used to help you make clothes that fit YOU. If I could replace numbers with Iscandorian Petroglyphs from the Andromeda Galaxy then I would. Your size isn’t a judgement on your character or personality, it does not confer special status on you if you take a single digit size rather than a two digit size. And taking a two digit size in patterns does not make you large, fat, less cute or whatever…it just means you take a size ten in sewing patterns. Back in 1986 you would be buying clothes in a size 10 or a size medium and thinking nothing of it. A size 0 today is the equivalent of a size 6 back when sizes were standardized and a size 10 in the fifties. So shop according to your measurements, and don’t even try to compare them to stores sizes, and make things that fit you, not a number.
