Remember one thing; it is just as bad if not worse to be under weight then it is to be slightly over weight. If you every feel your over weight check with your doctor first. If you feel your over weight because something is flabby it probably means you need to exercise more or more properly than to diet. Dieting does not reduce loose muscle flab.

I am 18 and I'm now learning it just better to exercis and work out and feel healthy rather than losing too much weight and being too skinny. Once you feel healthy you will learn to love your body! It's a mind trick, just take care of yourself and learn to love yourself and everything should be perfectly fine(:
You are far from overweight you do not need to shed 10 pounds, I personally find females to be more attractive when they are fit rather than being underweight. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
