Hey Shawn
Well there is such a thing as a plus model. (just so you no) But working out is a good start. You have to get a portfolio, an agent(to find you jobs),expeirence, and a lot of time. Modeling is alot of hard work i used to model and its not just about taking pics. There is alot more to it. You have to maintain the same weight, you have to make sure you are available if they fin you a job, dont even think about changing anything. If you change our hairut or even get highlights if has to be approved and the you have to make another portfolio of recent pics. It can get crazy.
But if its what you want to do go for it it can be a lot of fun sometimes too
keep me posted

when all else fails (which they do) there's the good ol' Thief way ^^ okay first, drink water, lots of it, next eat some fruits salads, some slim fasts also it's fun to walk around a lil jopg or too. next it's good only to eat some sweets just like a couple times. Personaly i do this all the time and im pretty damn skinny, i work out, i jog, run, skip, im pretty active. Depends on how bad you want it. Hope this helps

www.myspace.com/25884493 check out my profile there, If you want to be a model it will take more than just losing excess weight but if that is your goal right now hiring a trainer for motivation and excerises would be a good start towards modeling. Which i happen to be in the practice of. hope to hear from you soon

not all models are stick thin but if you want to work out thats good but don't do it just because you think thats the only way you will be accepted in the modeling industry

all righty then. first off, models do not have to be made of pencils covered in skin. it's more common for models to be on the thinner side, but don't let that deter you. working out is fine, even great (speaking of which, i'm kinda gettin' outta shape, i should go lift some weights... ^_^), just make sure you don't do it an excessive amount. that seems to be one of the most dangerous things nowadays. as long as your diet (and when i say "diet" i mean the things you eat, NOT trimspa or slimfast or whatever else) and your excercises keep to a basic routine that's healthy yet challenging and in accordance to your body type. which brings me to my next little blurb...
what do you mean when you say "ideal weight"? i'm not sure what your bone structure, family history, height, etc. are, so i couldn't tell you what your normal healthy weight should be. you can find a bunch of things online that can give you an idea for what your weight should be around for your height, family history, etc., etc., blah blah blah. the next time you go to your doctor, ask them if they think you're at a healthy weight, or if they think that you are above or below.
a pretty good looking face, heehee. you should consider working in print modeling, which is for things like catalgues and such. i'm going to be doing some modeling over the summer for some extra cash and to add to my acting/theatre resume, and it's mostly or completely going to be print modeling. i can't be a runway model; i'm too short (only 5'2). :P
if you really want to persue this, then you go do it!! just remember: NO CRAZY DIETS OR EXCERCISE PROGRAMS. that last one is my most forbidden one. well, no. the second-most. the MOST forbidden thing is losing your confidence or letting yourself be put down because you're not made of skin-covered pencils. ^_^;
hope this helped. good luck!!
