Answer 1

Sounds to me like at least one person you know is already telling you that you don't need to lose weight, and that person(s) probably cares for you a great deal. Bummer for them, right? 'Cuz you're gonna prove them wrong! You'll do whatever it takes to get the pounds off, and everybody will notice. Some people will even express concern! But that 10 lbs isn't going to be enough for you. (Who are you trying to kid--you're already underweight, and even though you know it you're going to demand even "better" underweight.) There's probably no number on a weight scale that's going to be acceptable to you. But none of this is really about your weight, anyway, is it? It's more about that feeling. That feeling of, when you peel all the masks off of it, boils down to hurt. And it hurts badly enough and often enough that it feels like some physical part of you. So it'll come off with that 10 lbs, right? After 10 lbs everything will be all better? It'll give you the attention, the approval, the love you're looking for, right? Not.
Believe it or not (and you probably won't, because this stuff wouldn't happen to YOU) lots of crap happens when you're trying to make yourself underweight. You can't concentrate very efficiently (and maybe that's cool 'cuz you don't want to have to think), so you'll have to work even harder for those great grades. Your hair, skin and nails are gonna suffer. You could screw up your period and whack out your hormones. And depending on laxative and diuretic use, you could find yourself needing help with pooping and peeing for the rest of your life. (Don't believe me? Check out fashion designer Ralph Lauren's neice Jenny Lauren. Her eating disorder played one hell of a nasty trick on her--read about it in her book HOMESICK.) Plus, you ARE going to screw up your metabolism. You'll eventually find that you can go days without eating or drinking squat for calories, continue to exercise, and not lose one damn pound. That sucks. All that hard work and discipline for nothing. Where are you going to go from there?
Imagine the day when you feel really, really good about YOU. You see the value in YOU. That day may not be today, but what if (for some reason we don't know yet) it's tomorrow? And you decide you want to make the most of your time here on this earth. Then what? You've basically got to start your body all over--which is a long process. For some of us, that process is like, 25 years and counting. Seriously. But you can avoid all of that by making the choice to persue "strong" instead of "thin". Not all bulked up looking--but strong. It's a great feeling--knowing you could out perform alot of people physically and still be feminine and beautiful. And eat like a maniac. Like 6 times a day. And all foods are allowed. It's awesome and you'll get compliments--versus "getting noticed" about your body.
Sweetheart, just think about it. Do your research before you decide to let an eating disorder take you over. Being thin isn't all its cracked up to be. But being strong and healthy is so very cool.

Answer 2

I don't know why you think you need to lose 10 pounds...at your height your weight seems to be fine at 115lb, if not maybe a little underweight. If someone is pressuring you to lose weight or you feel pressured, stop and think about who or what is motivating you to lose that much weight. Society? A boyfriend? None of these things are worth being underweight for.

Answer 3

Good gosh sweets, don't lose 10 pounds, gain 10! I weighed 103 and was 5'4" when I was your age and I look back at the pictures and I looked awful! Skin and bones doesn't look good on anyone!!! To answer your question, yeah people will notice, they might notice so much that you get yourself a couple weeks stay at an eating disorders clinic.

Answer 4

Who are you trying to lose the weight for ?

At 5'5" 115 lbs is not overweight at all.

Being a male I can tell you that men/boys prefer a solid shaped girl over a pencil thin girl.

If your boby is well proportioned and and your within 5 to 10 lbs of healthy body weight for your height be happy.

Answer 5

ok I'm 17 and 5'2 and I know it depends mainly on your height! everything else is spice. a 7 your old should not weigh 60 pounds like the rest of their friends if they are 5'1--hence proving heights importance. Since I would compare you to my height you should weigh about 95-135 95 is the least and after 135 you are leading to be overweight

Answer 6

They might notice, but not how you expect them to.

When I was 16, 5'6" and 115 lbs, I went to camp and GAINED 15 lbs. When I got home, everyone said I looked really good but couldn't put their finger on why (did you get a haircut?). They were surprised to learn I had gained weight. Everyone said I must have been too thin, and looking back I realize they were right.

Answer 7

10 pounds on 115 pounds. That will be noticeable, thats about 10% of your body weight. Very noticeable.

If you are losing weight, do it for you not for someone else to notice. At 115 pounds on 5'5". it does not sound like you need to lose anything.

Good Luck.

Answer 8

Well your going to hear it anyway, 14 hmm, 10lb, hmm, guys don't like to see a bag of bones walking around, i think you need to talk to someone about why you have the desire to be sooo thin. Your weight is just fine the way it is. And yes they will notice because they will see your sunken in eyes, and hollow face looking like a skelton. Talk to someone.

Answer 9

Yeah, I am 5"7, 84 pounds, and people notice me all the time, but if you want to go down to like 90 pounds, that's good, but not any lower than that, because then you would just be too skinny, like me.

Answer 10

Yes people will notice.

You are already very thin, so 10 more pounds at your hieght will make you really, really thins.

By the way there is a thing as too thin, when you look like a skeleton, it's kinda nasty.
