14/f (please read whole thing)
So I've lost about 32 pounds of my weight, and now I'm 155(i'm 5'2 and a quarter"), my goal is 137 (18 pounds left), and I'm doing really well this is what I do:
I normally consume around 1200-1350(or 1500) cals per day, but sometimes i take it up to about 1800 if i'm pmsing or something. I also work out whenever I can, i run a mile(and walk until it adds up to 20 mins) and i do the stairclimber for 20 mins and sometimes i'll add 20 mins of elliptical in, and then i just do random conditioning on the machines (about 20 reps of each)... and i do that on the days i don't have dance classes (and my dance classes don't start again until 3 more weeks so i'll probably be doing this every day or about 4 times per week)
Normally I've been able to lose a pound or two a day (i weigh myself first thing in the morning)
and I want to know how long you think it will take me to lose the rest of the 18 pounds...
(after i lose that i'll see how i look at 137 then i'll decide if i want to take it down to 115-130)
since I don't have a definate calorie deficit because it varies so much.

loosing 18bls could come fast or come slow. it depends. at soem point, you will reach a stage when you don't loose any weight at all. at that point is when you just need to continue what you're doing, and then you'll start loosing weight again.
the calorie intake also depends on what you're eating. but it seems that whatever you're doing is working fine.
your healthy weight range for your height is 110-125lbs, according to your BMI, at least. To get an exact answer on how healthy your weight is, ask your doctor to help you.
hope i helped. [ easilyfixed's advice column | Ask easilyfixed A Question ]

if you are drinking sodas?? coke.. whatever??
if you switch to DIETS only and dont change anything else.. like how much you drink cokes. but just change it to DIET. you can loose 10lbs. no joke. ive done it. its because regular cokes have so many carbs. and sugar is really rich.
so good luck
