Answer 1

Believe me you're not that overweight. Maybe you could do with losing a few pounds but I wouldn't worry about it. If you ARE really worried, go to your GP and ask for a blood pressure test and a cholesterol test. Those will tell you if you have any immediate health concerns. Otherwise, don't stress about it!

Answer 2

God your making me feel fat. Im nine months pregnant at the moe but before I was a 10/12, 5 foot 9. I weighed a bit less that you, about 10 stone, but have weighed more and been 14/16. Its called healthy average!! Ive only weighed myself three times in my whole life though. Weight is a misleading preoccupation people have.
I know my problem is needing to exercise to loose my flabby butt, but diet wont help, that is toning. Sounds like what you need too. YOU ARE NOT FAT. Just ignore the weight and exercise and eat well to make the most of what you have.
I lost a lot of weight through depression, but have found that a healthy vegetarian diet makes it almost impossible to put on excess weight.
Im heavy because like the rest of my family, probably you and also cartman.... im not fat, im big boned. Its a healthy sign I think that youre robust. Sounds like an excuse, but im heavy, ive never had a broken bone and hardly ever get ill.

Answer 3

I don't think that you are over weight - I am 5 foot 4 and approx 10 stone 10 - now that is a bit over weight. I am also a size 14 bottoms and 10/12 top (now that is when you need to worry), but I am sort of happy with myself. Feel that I could tone up, but hey, there are fatter people out there than me and you.

If you do feel the need to diet do it sensibly. I would suggest joining a slimming class. This way you know that you are eating sensibly, and if you lose weight it is a bonus. If you don't, then you don't need to.

Answer 4

You don't sound that overweight. I'm 5'8" and a size 10/12, I weighed 10 stone 12 before I got pregnant and everyone thinks I'm really slim!!! I have a lot of muscle mass because of the years of dance training I have done which makes me weigh more.

Weight is not always a good indicator of health, if you have a large frame you will weight more even if its muscle and not fat and you will not be "overweight".

I would go and see your GP to discuss it. If she/he agrees you need to lose a little weight then the only way to do it is to consume less calories than you burn, which means cutting down on the calories and exercising more. That simple. You don't have to resort to a faddy diet or live on nothing but fruit and veg, just count calories and get more exercise. But see your GP before you do anything.

ok imma giv u a weight loss plan that i did BUT to tell if u have to lose weight is lyk this.... for 5 ft ur 100...for every inch that u are add 5 ponds... remember 5ft=100 every other inch +(add)5 pounds....
if u want to lose weight i can give u some advice if u'd like....
ok this information that i will b giving u is very important because i use to weight 180 at the age of 11 n i wasnt very tall.... now im 17 at 5'7 n i weight 130 pounds...thats very healthy... now this is how i lost all that weight.... it will take u about 3 to 4 months but remmember if u put ur mind to it u can really do it... ok in the morning eat ONLY a bannana with half a cup of 2% milk between 8 n 12 o clock...it depends at wat time u wake up...in the afternoon between1 n 3 o clock eat a regular lunch... when i say regular i mean anything ur mom makes as long as its nothing fattening..eat a lunch that contains no oil or fried in it...its is best to eat meat during lunch time... do not eat hamburgers fries or n e thing from FAST FOOD PLACES... if u want something to go eat something healthy at SUBWAY... the best place to eat when on a diet n want to eat a quick LUNCH not DINNER..if u get hungrey later on between 3 to 7 eat a salad... do not eat after 7 because thats how u gain massive weight trust me.... if u get hungrey between meals eat FRUITS or VEGTABLES...thats it nothing else as snacks.... drink lots of water because water helps u lose the fat because u pee it out... i would say try to fit in 8 glasses of water A DAY....try to excersize... walk around the block every day or if u have stairs go up n down lyk 10 times a day...n e typ of excerisize is good even if it is small... when u first go on this diet u must b determined to do it.... NO SUGAR AT ALL..... when u eat sugar n the sugar reaches u body it turns into FAT....so no sugar lyk candy cookis.... I NO IT WILL B HARD BUT TRUST ME U WILL LOVE THE RESULTS... ok somethings that u most avoid but can eat are milk, bread..ect... what i mean is that when u drink milk get the 2 or 1 % milk NEVER THE WHOLE.... the whole is very fattening...the bread u can eat but NEVER EAT WHITE.... buy wheat....when ever u but a drink lyk orange juice or minite maid ALWAYZ go for the FAT FREE or LOW CARB.....another thing i will go into is the calories ... count ur calorie intake because that helped me when i was in or on a diet.... do not EXCEED more than 2,000 calories... if u go over board or 50 or 75 calories thats ok....but if u intake 2,000 calories a day for a month u will c a drastic change.... remmember 3,500 equal to a pound but if u are not on a diet u can only intake about 2,200 calories a day... but try to intake 2,000 for a diet... do not count the calorie intake of fruits or veggies on ly ur salad n drink and lunch meal... if u follow this u will have great results....remmember be DETERMINED...i would love for u to lose weight because i lost weight when i thought i couldnt... o 1 more thing... sleep for no more than 8 to 9 hours a day because if u exceed that u will gain major weight... sorry if i gave u too much info lol good luck n remmember it worked on me
