I think that at your height if you lose 15
to 20 pounds you will be underweight.

More cardio, less food... Any kind of
stimulant: phentermine, adderall, ritalin,
caffeine, cocaine, dexedrine, etc... You
should focus more on tone than weight, if
you get around 110, you will probably be
happy with your appearance if you have
been eating right and doing intense
cardio. Ride the snake...

Why so quick to advise diet pills?
That's a last resort.
Burn more calories than you take in.
That's the only way to really lose weight.
Work out, eat healthy, etc.

What might look best and what is the most
healthy are two deff things. Studies are
showing that people who are under weight
die early from artery problems. You need
a little padding over things to keep them
safe. So being under weight could be a
very bad thing. At your height a safe
weight would be about 112 but thats as low
as you should probably go. My friend is
5'1" and she is 105 that is exactly where
she is supposed to be for weight. But it
also depends on your bone structure and
your body fat. Also if you are not over
weight if you over excercise you will
probably bulk your muscles instead of
losing weight. When you start excercising
you may first lose a little fat weight but
after that you will be just growing
muscle. I also read a great tip.
Excersise and eat healthier but do not
weigh your self for at least a couple
months instead of obsesing over weight.
Focus on how your clothes fit and how you
think you look. So basicly dont
discourage yourself being stepping on the
scales.
Good luck.
P.S. I am also trying to lose a little
weight I put on ten pounds when I got
married.

that is 100% false.
Sure, working out builds muscle, but
unless you are lifting heavy weights all
the time and using supplements, you will
not bulk up. That is one of the biggest
myths there is.
Women should never be afraid of bulking up
just from normal workout routines. All
aerobic activity is good for weight loss,
and you cannot put on bulk that way. And
it has been proven that resistance
(weight) training in addition to a cardio
routine will help people lose weight more
quickly than just cardio alone.
Anyone looking for advice on these issues
needs to consult a reliable source for
their information rather than messageboard
hearsay. I'd really hate to think of
anyone missing out on the benefits of
fitness just because of something they
read on the internet.

Yeah, that`s right!
Exersise is not gonna get you that much
bulking.
