Answer 1

girlnextdoor--first of all, your weight is fine for someone your height. The problem with many people who want to lose weight is that they want to do it quickly and easily. Sure, you can starve yourself and do things that may help you develop an eating disorder, but the best thing to do is change your lifestyle. Reduce the number of calories you ingest, and increase the number of calories you expend by increasing your exercise and activity. If you do this, even just a little bit, you should be able to lose a few more pounds, however be aware that if you develop muscle, your weight will even out, and you'll hit a wall, because muscle weighs more than fat. This doesn't mean that you'll be "fat," even if you weigh 135 or 140.

Do it the smart way, not the "easy" way.

Good luck.

Answer 2

You sound fine to me, I don't know why you would want to be so skinny. I can see maybe losing a few pounds if you want, but don't go too extremely small. Instead of trying to lose weight quickly and easily, you should make sure you are eating healthy and exercising at least 30 minutes, 3 times a week. If you do this your body will settle into what is supposed to be your healthy weight, meaning for you as an individual based on your body type and metabolism. Good Luck.

Here's a few extreme answers:

Lay off all carbonation. It bloats you up. You can easily loose 5 lbs instantly by giving them up. (I do it every lent)

Eat more cereal. Try skipping a lunch or dinner and substitue the cereal. (kinda like the 'special k' challenge) I've done it recently, and have already lost 5 lbs.

So there's 10lbs right off the bat.

Also, as gross as it sounds, get an intestinal cleansing, one that includes parasites. Most people don't think about it, but 99% of the population of the US is walking around with parasites. In the old days, most people knew this, and did something about it. Castor oil, etc. for cleansing. Now adays, it's a touchy subject and taboo.

Our diets are so filled with preservatives and chemicals, and most of us eat unhealthy to begin with. This creates a plaque-like buildup in your intestines. Once build up begins, it just keeps building up, making it hard for your waste to pass thru. This means you're literally walking around with 20lbs or more of unpassed material. Most women notice this when they diet and exercise but still have that belly pouch. A cleansing will get rid of this, and have you loose the weight within a week or 2. There's plenty of cleansers on the market, just be sure to get one that gets rid of the parasites.

Best of luck and sorry if I grossed you out!

I'm 5'6" and that's about my ideal weight (135 to 145) so you're likely going to look a bit thin...but to lose weight cut back on your calories a bit, and exercise regularly. Losing it quickly just increases the chances that'll it return (with friends) so don't focus so much on speed, as just getting off the unwanted pounds...

When I lost at a good rate my calorie consumption was around 1300/day and I exercised at least 5x a week, about 2 hrs/day (a morning workout of 45 mins - 1 hr and an evening workout of 1 hr)...

Good luck...be careful!

Answer 5

At this point, you don't need to lose that much weight. At 5' 8", you might want to lose at most, 10 pounds. Don't pay any attention to the skinny celebrities and others. They are all anorexic and grossly underweight. A sensible diet plan is always best. And again, you would be UNDERweight at 130.

Answer 6

Do you want to look unhealthy??? For your height, your weight is good. Muscle weighs more than fat, and at your height and weight, I am sure you are pretty slender. I am 5'6", and my ideal weight according to the dr's is 135 (you are 5'8" and want to weigh less than normal for your height), and at one time I became obsessed with my weight, and wanted to be thinner...well, after being diagnosed with bulemia, and weighing in at 100 lbs, I realized, I looked pretty bad and needed to gain weight. Losing weight should never be done quickly, and it is not easy. You must teach yourself to eat right, and excercise....without doing those important things, you will only hurt yourself. Also, drink no more than 120 oz of water, but no less than 90 oz. If I was your height, I would be happy at 145, I have a friend who is your height and she weighs about 160, and she is still in single digit clothing, so I know you are. Stay at the weight you are, unless you have had your dr tell you to drop weight, if he did, then ask him how.

Answer 7

Loosing weight can be tricky because if you go to the gym you have to eat but not eat something with to much calories. I'm not you we probably have to different body types, but ever sense I started going to the gym I look so much beater. You can try ediets.com they have great diets and exercise tips you can do right at home! Or change some simple things in your life. Instead of driving to work walk to work. While watching TV do some sit-ups. Do some weakly jogging around your neighborhood. Toss the candy and eat some fruit. There are many different teak necks try it! loose weight!

Answer 8

145 pounds is not unrealistic for your height. Your health is more important than being pencil thin. I suggest you start exercising more without changing your current eating. That will accomplish two things: You will burn more calories so some weight will come off, maybe 5 to 10 lbs. Also, you will build muscle and your body will have that nice toned look.

Best of all, you will maintain your health.

Answer 9

You're 5'8 and you weigh 145! That sounds like you're just about perfect. Get over yourself and just be happy because you probably look great. You may need to tone a little and thats whats bothering you so just excersize and you'll get what you want.

Answer 10

Eat healthy, drink a lot of water, and take several hrs. out of each day fast dancing to your music. Drink a bottle of water or so at least every hr. while you work out. Listen to something that excites you so that you have a burst of energy to work with. It is hard too lose weight if you do not have the adrenalin (sp?) going. Dancing isn't hard. Start with moving the hips and work from there. You'll lose weight fast.
