Hey
i am 5'7 and is 128 pounds and my age is 24. I want to be 120 because that was my weight before i come to the USA. I gain alot of weight here. Is there a way to loose the other 8 pounds fast? I do go to the gym and i do eat healthy mostly fruit and veggies! No red meat and only stick with chicken and fish.
thanks for the advise enjoy the day

You're concerned about 8 lbs? Even at 128 you are too thin. Stop worrying about your weight and get on with your life.

I think you're an ok weight. You should check your BMI, and it'll probably tell you you're average. I checked my BMI on a recent issue of Glamour magazine. You can also go to seventeen.com and they may have it under the nutrition page. I'm 5'7" and I weigh 120. You should eat a balanced diet : proten, good whole grain carbs, unsaturated fat.... You should also do cardio and exercise. Find ways to sneak in exercise into your everyday life. Go up the stairs instead of the elevator. You don't have to necessarily go to the gym. I do Pilates at home.

You sound healthy to me and your diet sounds right on the money. You didn't mention exercise, however, so if you'd like to be a little more fit, I'd suggest running or jogging a bit or some light exercises (sit-ups, etc.) in your own home. Avoid joining a gym as some of them might not be able to work with someone who is preparing to leave the country.

Veggies are a free food. Nothing wrong with red meat, sounds like your doing what you need to already.

You have a BMI of 20.0. That means normal weigh.

You are already thin, you don't need to lose anymore weight
