I know you do not want to hear this, but i really think you are going about losing weight the wrong way. Starving yourself is not a good idea to lose weight because the second you start eating normally again, you will gain weight rapidly. This is because when starving, your body goes into "starve mode", so to speak. Starve mode cause your body to turn all food you eat into fat reserves. When you decide to eat normally again your body will want to turn all of it into fat because it is used to being starved.
The only full proof way to lose weight is simple. Eat in healthy moderation and exercise. It is hard and takes a bit longer, but anything worth fighting for it worth having. Dont drink soda, eat candy, junk food or any fast food really. Eat a good breakfeast to get your metablosim going for the day, eat lots of fruits and vegtables and just try to be all around healthy. Besides, being healthy is more important then being skinny anyways. whats wrong with some curves? :)
BeePeeTee answered Wednesday July 28 2010, 11:52 am: You should first ask yourself if the weight that youre at is healthy. This means you should compare your height to your weight. If you give me these numbers, I can give you the thumbs up or thumbs down on whether or not you should even be worried about dieting.
Now about only eating 700 calories a day. This is not only extremely bad for you, but also your body will begin to store even more fat. This is because you have just tricked your body into thinking that food supply is limited, so it believes it needs to keep some fat in case you need it later to survive. The average amount of calories you should be eating is 2000 for women or 2500 for men.
I would like to hear back from you to get the details on your condition. If not, Please do this for me and don't change how much youre eating but what you are eating. Make healthier food choices and try not to limit your calorie intake quite as much.
Thanks for listening,

Okay, so youre actually not too bad for your height, but you have a little wiggle room before your dieting gets out of hand. At 5'1", you should be somewhere between 106 and 124 depending on your bone density. I dont think that you should aim for 106 though. It seems a tad bit drastic to me. Since you say you usually weigh 110, I believe that should be your goal for the time being. If your body is usually at that weight, its more than likely a healthier number for you to be aiming for.
Now, to lose body fat, it is best for you to focus on cardio exercise, which is activities that make your heart beat faster. Running is a simple, yet effective way of trimming down. It is good for a person to get atleast 30 minutes of some type of a workout done each day. BUT REMEMBER: A good diet accompanied with exercise will give you your best results. Dont skip meals just because youre afraid of gaining weight. Make the right/healthy food decisions.
