Answer 1

Don't listen to any-one that tells you you need to loose weight listen to yourself. First off you sound fine to me...honest i'd say shoot for 10-20 pounds....tou probably have alot of muscle and don't even realize it. And if you have large breat (i myself do) your are gonna weigh more then ppll who aren't as bleesed. Also remember that you are your own worst critic. PPl tell you you don't look your weight yet you aren't happy with it....it's probably just because you aren't the same weight as when you were "really skinny". I bet it has nothing to do with the mirror just your mind. Good luck in what ever you choose to do.

Answer 2

Current government guidelines say you should weigh between 105 and 140. These vary depending on where you look, but not by much. At the very least, you are 20# overweight. Weight loss is not the result of a diet, but of a new outlook on nutrition. At 21, losing the weight will be easier than if you wait until you are 41 or 61. Twenty pounds is a significant amount to lose, but by beginning that new nutritional outlook - and an exercise program - you can lose that and more and keep it off. Once you have reached a healthy weight, keep it in check. Do not let it get away from you so that you are not faced with the dilemma of losing 70# or more. And exercise does not mean an hour long run every morning - it can be as simple as walking 15 minutes 3 or 4 times per week. Yes, more is better, but some is better than none.

Answer 3

The first thing that you need to do is throw out your scale. Look in the mirror and be honest with yourself about what you can realistically change. Would you like a flatter stomach? Would you like to lose the flab on your arms and legs? Your breasts and your hips are not likely to change. So make sure your goals are realistic. Then you've got to eat healthy. Forget diet food. Eat GOOD food. Believe it or not whole milk and real butter is better for you as it has less chemicals added to it and less will fill you up quicker. Eat lots of fruits and veggies and good proteins, meats and beans. LEARN TO COOK. Eating take out and frozen entres is bad as they are always loaded with tons of preservatives!!! Try www.savingdinner.com for tips and easy recipes. Then you've got to excercise. I like the Body for Life exercise program. Health cannot be measured by a number and cannot be obtained by a fad diet. Often healthy people weigh more than the unhealthy because muscle weighs more than fat. Good Luck.

Healthy food for weight loss

Is it possible to eat more food and actually lose weight? Absolutely, if you eat more of healthy foods than empty calorie foods (junk food).

Not everyone realizes that you do not have to deprive yourself in order to lose weight. What you have to do is eat more of healthy foods, leaving less room for "bad" foods. If you eat healthy foods - meaning foods high in vitamins and nutrients and are flavorful - you will find that you want less of high calorie or empty calorie foods. Having a variety of foods that you like and want to eat makes it easier to maintain any changes you make to your diet.

When making any changes to the way you eat, do so slowly and don't criticize yourself if your changes take time to become a habit. Study after study has shown that making small changes is what counts. One change at a time will be easier to accomplish and stick with than making a lot of changes all at once. Every little change you make will bring benefits to your health and your waistline.

Here are some changes you can make one at a time that can give you quick weight loss results:


* Eat breakfast
A lot of people skip breakfast. This is a big mistake if you are trying to lose weight. Studies show that those who do not eat breakfast will overeat later in the day. Also, eating breakfast gets your metabolism going, and so whatever is eaten in the morning is metabolized better. If you are not a breakfast eater, try a fruit smoothie or other nutritional shakes.

* Drink water
Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Ice water is best because it will speed up your metabolism. Water is, of course, calorie free and flushes out fat. And lastly, drinking water about a half hour before eating will curb your hunger and will make it less likely that you will overeat.

* Add vegetables
Adding vegetables to some of your favorite dishes is a good way to get in some extra servings of veggies every day. Some examples are: sauces, soups, omelets, sandwiches, and salads. Of course, vegetables make a great snack by themselves or dipped in low-calorie dressings.

* Try to eat more salads
If you're anything like I used to be, as soon as I heard the word "salad," I would immediately think "boring!" That is until I figured out how creative one can be when making a salad. Try adding new vegetables that you haven't tried before or adding boiled eggs, strips of grilled chicken, cheese, and/or nuts. Keep fresh lettuce and spinach leafs on hand, and remember to go easy on the dressing or make your own healthy salad dressing. A healthy and great tasting dressing is mixed olive oil and lemon juice.

Answer 5

You might want to consider breast reduction. Huge breasts like that can cause back problems after a few decades.

I think 130 would be a good weight if you have big bones.

Answer 6

503

Answer 7

Please see ideal body weight calculators below.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
