Wow so you can weigh the same but have less fat BMI… well THANKs a lot whoot :) ILL TRY IT. I hate weights but ill do what I can. 5 pound dumbells kill me. LOL! I cant even do a PUSH UP!

well im about 5’1. my body frame is slim. my sister is about 5’, shes kinda fat. not to be mean

r you really supposed 2 weigh that??? im 12 and about 5’3” and I weigh 2 puonds less than that. no im not overweight. I have a genetically high metabolism.

yes really she said no less than 100 and no more than 110! I never drink POP and what are starches??

I was just learning in my High-school 12th grade health class about weight just this is how you lose weight…exactley what she said ^^^ way up there, you can NOT starve yourself just work out and turn that flab into firm tight muscles with simple things like sit-ups or get a gym membership and do things with weights or better use your own weight and pull yourself up to do chin-ups at the gym. (the reason I say you have to work out is because my health teacher was telling us how if you starve yourself your body begins to eat itself) and all fatty tissue on your body has extreme potential to become muscle so just try

what do you do to stay slim?

HA! I cant either! I have very little muscle. which means I have a low metabolism. which SUCKS

well my 11 year old sister is about 125lbs. is she overweight? im 14, and around 105lbs. is my weight average?

it all depends on height and body frame.

I think you can get there…1000 is good if you dont do sports or anything =] in time ull get thinner

THANK YOU GUYS THIS SITE IS AWESOME!!!

eat less junk food eat more healthier foods (meats,veggies,fruits) excerise more!

stop eatting startcvhes and drinking Pop

Your body needs about 1200 Calories a day just to run itself (heart beating, digestion working, etc). So plan on 1500-1800 Cal. for daily intake combined with some sort of exercise. Try to pick an exercise that you like - swimming, snowboarding, dog walking, jogging, tennis, dance, etc. If you like doing it you will probably stick to it. Or you can get a friend to do it with you. What you want to avoid is a drastic diet. That will throw your body’s metabolism into its “starvation mode’ which will slow your metabolism and make it harder to burn calories. And what you want to do is relearn what to eat. Not a lot of junk, and everything in moderation. Good Luck!!

http://mypyramid.gov/ go to this website it will help you develob your own food pyramid that will tell you what to eat and it will show what exercies to do that will burn up the most calories. hope this helps

just dont eat junk food and eat more fruits and veggies like you have been but dont stop eating. you also need to eat more than 3 times per day like every 3-4 hours eat a piece of fruit or some veggies. and when you eat actual meals just make them a little smaller than usual but not to small. eating more than 3 times per day if your eating healthy which you say you are should lower your matabolism. I am trying to loose weight myself and by doing what I just told you to do I lost 5 lbs in 2 days. yes it will take a little time but atleast the weight will be off and stay off. Dont forget to excersise also. Hope this helps if have any questions just ask.

1000 isn’t enough. ask your nutritionist exactly what youru target caloric intake should be. mine was 1700…but then again I’m 5’8”.

I would shoot for at least 1400. but you prob need more. talk to your nutritionist.
