Don't quote me on this but as far as I've been told, padding and clothing do most of the work when it comes to getting a feminine figure. So long as you are healthy and not particularly burly then that alone should be enough. Exercise to be slim but don't aim for muscle kinda thing.

Then again, I've also been told that cycling can give you a nice rear and/or thighs.

Just the view of someone wholly unqualified so as said before take it with a grain of salt.

Im swim and run and bicycle in my life for exercise. But tea-cleasing helps too or eating healthy like korean/fermented food good bactire helps^^ eating tofu or soy products...amd eat your veggies^^

Many many years ago, one of my sensei swore by Jogging. It built up the cardio system, yet did not bulk up chest or arms.

Body shaping can cover over hips and butts giving them the appropriate curves. Waist cinching can do wonders for your curves, but having taught abs helps.

There's nothing exercise can do about wide shoulders or manly chests. but proper proportions in the mask and the bust, can disguise a lot.

That exactly is my issue I have wide shoulders and a chest. I am working on losing weight and busting the gut, having gone from a 50 inch waist to having 40" pants be loose. However, I have a ways to go.

Low impact walking or swimming and eating healthy watching your calorie intact.

Absolutely. What helped me was calorie-counting through Fitbit/MyFitnessPal, skipping seconds and desert, cutting out regular soda, and going on the elliptical or taking 2-miles-or-more walks a few times a week.

Would martial arts like karate help? I was told that stuff like that built fast-twitch (the lean) muscles, and burned a lot of calories an hour, as well as helped with heat dissipation.

Right now a healthy diet Scath and low impact walking or swimming. Muscle is heavier than fat
Plus you need to train your brain to eat less. 1200 calories max for now. When I'm in training I do 900 calories, which to be honest SUCKS!!

900? I can't imagine, it was difficult for me to do 1800 some days.

I have a few tips I use to keep thin. Drink a warm glass of water in the morning( it is supposed to help with digestion) then when ever you get the chance drink sips of water all day. No carbs, don't even look at them!

Hydration helps a lot, thirst and hunger come from the same part of the brain. But everything tasty has carbs in it!

I have another solution that I do on a daily basis~

One word and it isn't "plastics"

lol to true. I used to say never snack either but snacking can help to, as long as you keep it light. Fruit and veggie or protein is the best. Also anything like soda pop or sugary drinks are bad, very bad, only drink water. If you can only do one thing to lose weight I recommend this. Only drink water and even if you still have carbs you will drop some weight.

You are right where you should be!!

I'm not the fittest of now-kiggers by any measure, but change doesn't necessarily have to be big let alone in the food department.

For me it's not how or how-quickly you achieve the desired result, its as long as you keep yourself going in the desired direction.

I used to be a severe sugar-binger in 2008-2010 (as I was going through a severe depression spell at the time), but here are some of the changes I made since:

• Replace white bread with wholemeal brown, for slightly lower carbs
• Replace soft-drinks with sugar-free equivalents (if you're like me your mind won't take no for answer after a stressful day)
• Commute about standing instead of sitting; I commute usually by train and I often just stand right next to the doors (as I only need to travel between two adjacent stations anyways)
• If it takes 30 minutes or less, walk to work

As far as my body tells me: less sugar means I will hold on to less of the saturated fat.

When I moved out of my parents place back in September 2016, I was roughly 105Kg, I know I have shaved off something off that figure, even if not a lot, but at least its heading the right direction; I haven't made much changes myself as to what I eat but, interestingly I have had the odd remark from my work colleagues that my appearance has changed, despite me never bringing the subject up myself.

If I managed a straight six-hour stint without stopping for a single refreshment break, then at least the changes I've done something that works for my own body, right?

I hope my experiences might make things look less intimidating.

Please note that I do (100%) get offended if asked directly or questioned about what I eat, so if you're thinking of asking me, don't.

How's 0 calories for intake? :P

I know you're just being sarcastic, but nonetheless, aimed at anyone who is contemplating it, eating nothing at all is bad for the body.

One thing I do to stay in good shape.

I kig as much as I possibly can!!

Okay, this is lzzrd's deep psychological moment (and all this is un-PC as crazy, so bear with me).......

Humans are a sexually dimorphic species and the net physical consequenses of these, besides greater male upper body strength is that females have a lower centre of gravity..... and are generally smaller and lighter......

Now as Cecilia and Miss Kiki tells us, there is little that can be done besides keeping BMI low and padding, but there's the psychological projection of female and that's effectively acting as if you are smaller and lighter and have a lower centre of gravity.......

Notice children.... and women generally are closer to child phenotype than men. Children get up easily and quickly from a crouched or squatting position without using hands or upper body assist to do so. They employ less upper body motion to navigate walking, running, sitting or general activity not related to arm and shoulder employment........

So work on your squats and being balanced on your feet. Stand on one foot and the other until you can do so for about a minute or so without thinking about it. Work on dropping to a squat and standing back up without using your hands or arms to help you up. Work on your ballerina dance poses, too. Women and children generally have greater joint flexibility than males, especially with their legs and feet and these will help. Do squats with reps and weights like in a gym and build up your glutes, with is something you also want. Then when you get your mask and padding and your whole kigurumi rig, you will wear it and you will move instinctively more like female. Which will make your persona, however you're configured, project more female even before you consciously strike poses and act in character......
