Why do people say I can't get that small?

[Anonymous]

My weight loss journey started three months ago and so far I've lost 35lbs. I started at 210 and my goal is to get down to 125. My height is 5'5. Everytime I tell people this they say that I will look weird. Or I will never be able to get that small. It's annoying because I've seen people who way 300lbs get down to a size 0.

That is a BMI of 21, which is good and should be reachable if you continue. But make sure you only burn fat and no muscle. Don't hurry it up and just eat healthy. Miracle diets do not exist. Just cut down carbs so your daily energy intake is below your need. And for the rest eat enough fruit and vegetables and some proteins to keep your muscle mass. And do a lot of low intensity cardio. Its summer, so outside running, walking, biking is perfect. But you need at least 20 to 30 min to start fat burning.

I know I'm excited. I started weight training a couple weeks ago and omfg I can see an amazing difference. My body is getting a shape. So I do three to four miles around noon and I weight train in the evening. So far I've been losing almost 2lbs a week since I started.

Good program, but remember, if you gain muscle, don't focuss on weight. Muscle is heavier than fat. Have your muscle/fat ratio measured in the gym and follow it up. That is as important as just loosing weight.

[Asker]

Yeah I got so caught up in the numbers on the scale when I should have been measuring. I measured myself and my bmi is lower than what is shown on the bmi charts.

Just ignore them. And go for ur goals

I had gained weight and saw some show and said I wanna look like her and my dad said u wouldn't ur big boned... well that's a lie I lost 40 pounds on Atkins diet and did look great still need to lose more.

Ull know when to skinny is too skinny

[Asker]

Thank you. That's what my family kept saying. Your "big boned" and "you can never get that small". So I can't wait to prove everyone wrong.

Well show them that you can , people always told my father he would never be able to gain muslce at his age (45 at that time) whithin a year he gained like 40 pounds of muscle, no steroids. Even I was like "What DA FUCK"

point is never listen to the naysayers, they all suck at life

[Asker]

Awww thanks. My whole life I have been overweight because I feared what I would look like if I got too small but now I feel stupid. My family and friends made me being obese okay. But I'm finally doing something about it!

[Asker]

Thank you. I'm excited to get to a very low bmi and get a very small frame.

Its because their trying to put you down. They don't believe in you. Their jealous of you and don't want to see you succeed. There is going to be a lot of people that are going to do that. Make sure to stay away from those people as far as you can get! But keep your head up, and continue your journey! I've went through similar things and it sucks. But I kept a positive attitude and lost 50 pounds! When someone says you can't do it, Say YES I CAN and do it! I'm rooting for you! Good luck!

if you eat clean and exercise enough you can get to where you want to get to. don't listen to other people.

Just ignore them. They are trying to put you down and keep you from reaching your goal.

[Asker]

I'm glad I did. I'm finally getting down from being obese to a normal weight.

[beautifulangel76]

Yeah and you should be. Don't let others keep you from reaching your goal.

125 is perfectly reasonable
