I'm 5'6 and 116lbs, I want to lose some weight, but it's not easy, what should I do?

[糖糖DoDo]

it's been a year since I weigh 106lbs, before that I was 103lbs, I want to fit in some pretty dresses, but don't know how to shrink my body.

[Lauren2410]

Girl, you're fine, do you wanna look like the starving models on the runway or what? At 106 lbs how can you not look good in a dress :O I looked good at 125 and you can't at 106?
If you really want to, though I don't recommend losing any more weight, but 3 pounds isn't that much, go for jogging or running because that usually slims the whole body very nicely :)
Since you're already eating healthy, the workout should do. Also drink water, not soda or other crap and sleep enough.

[Iron_Man]

Whats wrong with Diet soda?

[Lauren2410]

@Iron_Man It's still soda, even if it's diet. As weird as it sounds, it still messes up the metabolism, leads to obesity , kidney problems , cell damage (it has some inhibitors or something which causes it), rotting teeth (of course, in big quantities, just like regular soda) and others. We've had a project on chemistry class about products and health and I've also read some articles back on the day. I also had a friend who drank so much soda, then she switched to diet and she still ended up with the same stomach problems.
You'd be surprised of the ingredients in some products people think is healthy. I was shocked with what some can cause, haha

[Iron_Man]

is that why I am kind of fat will I die young? I drink a lot everyday

[糖糖DoDo]

I'm 116, not 106 Lol~~~
I just feel the body is covered with fat, like a human shaped marshmallow，soft but not firm...

[itsme_goodsamaritan]

Instead of trying to lose weight to fit into pretty dresses, why not get creative in picking the dresses you wear? Maybe, you could try designing them yourself. Its just too impractical to keep losing weight to fit into dresses.

[misscocobutter]

Watch what u eat, and join the gym, work out. It takes time and discipline but it's worth it and it will work

[糖糖DoDo]

I hope so, thx~

[Mesonfielde]

You're almost the same height as me and you're 20 lbs below, and my weight is average. I think you need dresses that don't demand you to be anorexic, because your BMI is already 18.7 and if you lose more than 0.2 then the system will deem you clinically underweight.

[糖糖DoDo]

haha~~but you're a guy, guys have more muscle than girls, so you're perfect at 136lbs... when I pinch my leg, I can feel the fat, and I hate it :(

[Mesonfielde]

I think you feel skin. I am actually nowhere nearly as muscular as I should be.

[Mesonfielde]

(by the way, that name of yours is going to be a bitch to mention: @糖糖DoDo )

[糖糖DoDo]

sorry the pronounciation of dodo in Chinese means chubby, and 糖糖 means candy.

[Mesonfielde]

Honestly, I'm 136 lbs at 5'7", I don't have much muscle, and I am not fat, most of what I can grab is skin. I have no idea where that extra 20 lbs comes from.

[Invoker]

You seem like you have a decent body if you don't over indulge often. I'm 5'7 and 135ish pounds myself. =/ love the skin you're in. Commercial slogan stolen.

[糖糖DoDo]

because you're a guy, and you got muscles, so you look fantastic at 135 Lol

[Invoker]

I know but after counting height, bone density, and muscle, it's safe to say you probably rock that body. So don't think too much of it. I'm seriously betting 5 churros that you look more than alright.

[糖糖DoDo]

thanks that's very sweet~

[rjroy3]

Change your thinking from weight loss, to fat loss for one. You can fit into dresses while being heavier if you change your body composition

[rjroy3]

I say that, because looking like a skeleton is unattractive. But putting "some" muscle on in the right places will actually thin your waist because of the burned off fat

[rjroy3]

Jumping rope is a fast way to burn calories while tightening up your legs at the same time. Just 5 min if jump rope is enough. Add that to whatever else you do and you'll be surprised at the difference

[Iron_Man]

Jog or swim 5 to 6 days a week if not walk 6 days a week, cut back on the fast foods and junk food.

[糖糖DoDo]

I'm vegetarian, and I eat very healthy, I'll try to walk more, do you have any idea how long should I walk? like one hour or so?

[Iron_Man]

Yes an hour is good at a good pace. I would do it 6 days a week. Later on you can work up to 90 min a day on your walking. Sounds like your not to far away from your goal

[CourtJester]

Uhhhmmm... no you don't.

[BEatenyou]

I think you are beautiful just he way your are...

[Tokana]

No, you don't need to lose weight thank you.
