losing about 10 pounds, but not overweight
Hi! I'm a 20 year old female and I'm very short and petite. I'm 5 ft. Tall and I weight about 108 pounds. I'm at my weight but because I'm so short and small framed, I would feel more comfortable weighing about 96 to 98 pounds. I have weighed much more than now and much less and 96 before. I am comfortable now but I know I'd be much more comfortable at 98 or even 100 because of my size and structure. I am going to start a healthy diet but I guess what I'm looking for is tips. Since I don't have much to lose, how can I lose it quickly and stay motivated? Thanks xoxo

the best way is doing exercise start with little and then with more, try to it a lot of healthy stuff also fat free stuff etc. well everything your healthy diet contains. and some way you can stay motivated is: buy a pair of jeans, or a dress anything thats its a smaller size your motivation in here is that you are going to be able to wear it when you loose your pounds. ;)
but dont forget exercise i am in a healthy diet and trust me without exercise i don think i would loose so many pounds.
good luck!!

I am going to suggest you not loose any weight. For your height and age you are actually slightly under weight according to some of the charts I looked at. One chart I looked at has you grossly under weight. The problem with these charts are that they are based on parameters. Whether these parameters fit you in an entirety or partly no one can say other than your doctor.
What my quick research did point out is regardless of which chart I looked at they all agreed you are under weight. Being underweight can be as bad or even worse than being overweight. One of the biggest problem that I am aware of in under weight people is keeping their electrolytes in balance. Many are not even aware that they are out of balance until the floor literally comes up and smacks then in the face.
While you may think you are eating healthy and you may be. You may not be eating enough to provide your body with what it needs to function properly. When the body can't function properly it will do everything it can to save itself. It will protect your heart and brain at all costs. To do this it starts shutting down other systems to fuel what it needs to function.
To find out what your ideal weight is I would suggest you visit you doctor. Let your doctor be the judge of whether or not you need to loose weight or even gain a few pounds.

The idea that you should lose weight is a disordered thought. These thoughts, if pursued, can lead to an eating disorder.
