At 5'3, if you are a small frame then you should be about 107-115. If you are a medium frame you should be 112-126. If you are a large frame, you should be 121-138. So you might not be really too overweight. Frames are the size of your bones not your body. I can't really explain it but it is just saying like 'big boned' you aren't fat, but your bones are just bigger compared to other people.
And I suggest not to lean so much towards 'crunches' because it makes your stomach bulge out. Erks. Because you are pushing your stomach muscles forward to lift yourself up, and it doesn't really help me much so I don't advise for you to do that.

christina answered Tuesday April 3 2007, 8:47 pm: You're actually a good weight for your height, but:
DO's
- Eat healthy. Fruits, veggies & meats are essential.
- Drink 8 glasses of milk a day and eat yogurt [preferably Yoplait Light & Fit]. If you're lactose intolerant like me, then eat dairy sparingly so you don't get sick.
- Drink 4 glasses of water a day.
- Cut junk food out. No more desserts, no more munchies, no more candy, no more soda & no more fast food. If you're gonna eat it, make sure you eat only a small portion & make sure you don't go completely overboard with it.
- Run alot. I'm not saying to run a mile in a day, but work your way up to it. Once you can run a mile, trying going for 2, then when you conquer 2, try 3 and so on. Don't run fast though, because you'll get tired & give up. Pace yourself.
- Join a gym. They have machines that target certain areas of the body, and if you ask a trainer, they should be able to help you out. [And if you don't wanna go alone, invite a friend along, or bring your ipod & listen to music. It'll make the time go by faster.]
DONT's
- Don't eat or exercise before bed. If you eat before bed, it's gonna be really hard to digest while sleeping since basically your whole body shuts down, and you'll just gain weight. And if you exercise before bed, your muscles won't be relaxed, so you'll be antsy & it'll be hard to fall asleep.
- When you see results, DO NOT STOP. Keep going because if you stop right then, you'll just gain all your weight back. So once this healthy lifestyle starts to suit you, don't give it up at all. For the rest of your life, because if you do everything you've worked for will just have been a big waste of time.
- Don't be discouraged if you gain weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. =)
runawayxlove answered Tuesday April 3 2007, 8:38 pm: hey, well my doctor said that at 5`0 your suppose to be 100 pounds. from there on, you add 5 pounds every time that you go up in height. examples: 5`1 = 105, 5`2 = 110, and 5`3 = 115. according to my doctor, your perfect weight is 115 pounds. you only have to loose about 20 pounds. join a gym with a friend or relative. dont join by yourself, you wont be motivated as much as you would be by trying to compete with the person you go with. eat healthly also. good portions are key.
