I have boarderline high blood pressure due to genetics so I have a reason for dieting, sort of. I had been somewhat active but not nearly enough so I decided to change and start eating healthier portions and been more active. During the past week I have been burning anywhere from 300 to 600 calories a day on my treadmil and doing 200 crunches every other day. But when I totaled up my calories yesterday I realized I had burned them all off (I've been drinking all water and eating total ceral, yogurt and lean cuisine meals alot since they have so much nutrients) so I went out and split bruschetta with someone which I got alot of calories from. At the begining of the week I started off at 140 and a size 4 in jeans and small in shirts. I am now down to 136. I used to be a size 0 and after bulking up on muscle in my thighs from volleyball I want to get back there. I am seeing results and only eating when I'm hungry but is this healthy? I just want to make sure.

In answer to the question itself; no, that is too heavy if you want to be trim - and I DON'T mean skinny like some of these anorexic actresses and entertainers.
You do sound like you're aware of yourself,,which is great!!! Don't try to be extreme because you will 'burn out' on the program. You will probably grow some more, but 110-115 is a good weight depending on your bone structure.
You need to eat and 6 small meals a day is good, with the least fattening thing eaten in the evening.
Good luck!!!

You are fine. As long as you eat and not starve your self or get to the point where you are barfing up your food. I am 16 and in a size 4 jeans and weigh about 130 so it is normal. It is ok if you loose weight as long as you do it in a healthy way. Just excersise and eat good and you should be ok. Dont worry about burning all of your callories if you do you do if you dont it isnt the end of the world.

I work at a clinic and I'm really glad to hear that you are loosing weight and you are dedicated to your diet. you still got some pounds to loose, keep up the good work. your ideal weight for your height should be between 115 - 125 anything between that is fine just not below or above. GOOD LUCK!

According to the BMI index, you are fine. If you have a doubt, look at this index - it has a calculator where you put in your weight and your height. Do not go below the normal range.

with high blood pressure you need to do cardiovascular activities to keep the blood flow through your body. being a good weight is helpful to your borderline high blood pressure.

Does the term having a eating disorder come to mind? I think it does.

Yes. Don't look like Kate or Keira, they are sick, as are most models, with anorexia. You are fine.
