Lose 10 lbs.


Question Posted Friday October 12 2007, 5:56 pm

I suddenly gained 6 lbs. I have no idea where it came from. My legs and arms are as thin as ever, and my back and abdomen have no visible fatty increase. I don't think I gained any muscle. How do I lose 10 lbs? 13/f small/medium frame 5"5 126 lbs.

Listen, if you look ok, you do not need to lose weight. Forget scales and statistics and all that stuff. Look in the mirror and dont obsess about numbers.

As for how to lose weight, well its simple enough in theory. Eat a few hundred calories less than you burn every day, base your meals around a good non processed protein source (e.g. chicken, tuna, lean meats, cottage cheese, etc), and exercise (particularly cardio, e.g. running, biking, some sports, etc). Eat balanced meals and divide up your food into about 5 meals a day evenly spaced out every 3-4 hours. Drink plenty of water, and cut out all the empty calories from junk foods.

However, once again, if you look fine then why worry?

You don't.

Your BMI is 21, which is a *little* bit towards the lower end of average weight.

There is no reason for you to lose 10 pounds, or any really.
