Fat
I'm about 5'5
and I weigh about 145-147 pounds.
Im not THAT fat[im muscular] but I do eat alot, but i eat alot of healthy things.
And I know how to loose weight but I always end up eating to much and then feeling guilty about it.
When I Do follow a good eating habit , I would eat a peanut butter and bananas and slim fast for breakfast, yogurt pretzels and raisins for lunch, broccoli and chicken for dinner, then yogurt and apples for snack.
How much weight would I be able to loose a week by that>?

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
You are currently an acceptable weight as far as your BMI is concerned, but I can understand the desire to lose a few pounds, and there's nothing wrong with that, assuming you do it carefully and don't go overboard.
Exercise is definitely a help. Get on a regular, disciplined schedule, and it will be easier to keep at it. Plan ahead and give yourself goals.
It's impossible to predict what one week of eating differently will do for your weight loss. It depends on a variety of factors--your metabolism, your activity level, and your natural tendencies.
But what's really important is to not just go on a crash diet. Find something you can maintain or you'll gain the weight back--and more. Yo-yo dieters statistically are likely to gain more weight than they lost to begin with, and it's an easy trap to get caught in.
Find some good foods that you like: fruits if you have a sweet tooth, for instance. Frozen bananas or apples with cinnamon, if you don't like them plain, make a great snack. Salads are great too, if you don't load them up with fatty dressing (try Kraft Lite Italian). Having a bowl of soup before each meal has also been proven to reduce the amount of calories you eat because you feel fuller before you get to the more calorie-laden food--again, though, make sure that it's a safe calorie choice, and not a cream-based soup.
Ultimately, it's about finding a balance of food and exercise that you can live with. If you like foods with more calories, you have to exercise more, and the minute you stop, the pounds will pile on. If you can find lower-calorie foods, you should still exercise, but you're not in as much of a danger zone.
Keep in mind that 3500 calories is equal to one pound, gained or lost. Now, at your weight and height, you burn about 1520 calories just by existing--that's if you stayed in bed all day and did absolutely nothing. That is the minimum number of calories that you should eat in a day. That doesn't, however, factor in movement or exercise, so if you add in the calories of your activities throughout the day, you'll be able to find the approximate number of calories you burn. Then it's a simple matter of doing math.
One other thing--it's generally not recommended that you lose more than 2-3 pounds in a week, anything more is unhealthy. So keep that in mind, and don't go overboard!

Okay honestly the best thing to do is exercise...just eating healthy is going to help, but it does not shed pounds the way exercising does. When you work out, you build muscle..that muscle "eats" the extra far you have, so even though you might "gain" a few lbs because youve gained muscle mass, you will lose inches. Honestly, Ive tried EVERY diet plan there is and nothing works as good as exercising. If youre really not into exercising, I think weight watchers is the best diet to do because you dont starve yourself and it's pretty easy to follow..if you need more help let me know :)

you should go to mypyramid.gov and fill out the form. It'll give you a pyramid with what you should eat. If you eat exactly what it tells you and exercise regularly, you'll get to your optimum weight.
