No matter what the media presents, there is no "quick fix" to losing weight that isn't seriously dangerous to your health.
It sounds as if you are already aware of this. The average person loses about 5 pds a month if they eat right and exercise daily.
But, as you said yourself, you are not far off from your "healthy" weight, so stop beating yourself up. Most Americans are overweight, and most models are underweight *ahhh the irony*...and how twisted is our society? *rolls eyes*
The healthy weight for your age and height is 136 pounds.
IF your doctor says it's okay, you could increase your energy by taking Vitamin B-12. You only need to lose a few pounds so the running will be great for that- but walking fast or using a bicycle (stationary or not) for about 10-20 mins a day is better because it doesn't "jolt" your body and hurt your knees. Along with this routine, I would include some toning exercises. Turn that cellulite into muscle *sexy!*
The bicycle and walking fast will help enable you to run.
Also, a great tip, if ya don't already know. When your tanned it gives the illusion that you are a lot skinnier! So, getcha a tanning membership somewhere!
