Q: Im a female
im about 5'7 and i weigh 145 lbs.
But im muscular
Do i need to loose alot of weight?

I've been on a diet for like 3 years
but i have like an over eatting problem , so you know...

Average weight for someone who is 5'7" is 135 pounds, so you're not necessarily overweight persay.
If its muscle, muscle weighs more than fat, and youre fine.

I dont suggest losing ALOT of weight because I dont think that would be necessary. Just exercise and do crunches/situps/ & run to tone your body. That will turn the fat into muscle & might make you weigh a little more but you'll be healthy.

If you feel like you have an overeating problem then limit yourself. Discipline yourself if you feel that youre 'overeating'. Maybe put a rubberband on your wrist and snap it whenever you feel an urge to eat more than you should.
Then reward yourself when you lose a pound by treating yourself to a snack or something. [:

i like that idea
im going to use it
thank you!
