Vomiting to lose weight is extremely bad for you as it can injure your esophagus (throat) from the acids in your stomach. People who vomit to control there weight are considered to have an eating disorder called Bulimia. This is a serious eating disorder as a person will start to binge and purge. Not only will it harm your throat but the constant purging will upset the electrolyte balance in your body. One of the worst things that could happen by upsetting this balance is a heart attack. If it is bad enough you can die. If you have not started to purge don't start.
Exercise will help you lose weight but it must be proper exercise. When you exercise you can easily trade fat for muscle. Muscle weighs more that fat so while you may look slimmer in some parts of you're body you will actually gain weight in others where you traded fat for muscle.
Running will tone up your Calf's and Thighs possibly making them a bit heavier as they get toned from the running. You may even tone up your waste and tummy. While you may look slimmer you may actually weigh more.
Below is a chart for ho much you should weight based on your frame size. As you can see there is between a 1q2 and 15 pound variable with in each of the weight frame categories. If you present weight for your frame size falls with in one of these categories you have no reason to diet.
Small Medium Large
120-133 130-144 140-159
Because of what dieting and being underweight robs you of what you need to sustain your body it is far better to be 10 pounds over weight then 10 pounds underweight.
If you still feel you need to lose weight the proper way to do so starts with a visit to your doctor and find out for certain if you are over weight for your frame size. Have a complete physical then have the doctor give you a diet to follow. While dieting your doctor will want to monitor your health with follow up visits. This is how you diet properly without endangering your heath.
