Hey, I need help in trying to tone up. I am a 17 year old girl. I'm 5'7 and I weigh 122 lbs. My BMR is 1371 and I am really not sure what that means. I also have no idea how to eat healthy. Can you help witht that? I run/walk about two miles every day and I do other exercises for my stomach including sit-ups, but I still have a layer of fat over my stomach. How do I get rid of it? Any advice about exercising and eating healthy will help me out a lot. Thank you.

BMR is the Basal Metabolic Rate. It is how many calories you burn just lying around not doing anything.

You probably have very strong abs given your exersise levels and i'm suprised that you have a layer of fat over them at such a slim weight. It is really hard for me to tell you to lose weight.

You may find it very difficult to tone up your thighs because this is where a lot of girls your age and a little younger pack on a lot of fat.
