Am worried abt my weight

Hi,

I'm about 18 years old, 5'6 and I weigh about 100lb and my mom and sis say that i weigh too much....and most of my friends weigh like 90lbs, so I'm really desperate to lose at least another 10-20lbs....And although i exercise on a daily basis, I can't seem to lose weight.....Does anyone know of a good way to lose weight? I don't diet and i already exercise, so i don't know what else i can do.......

Your mom and your sister are idiots, sorry, but 100 pounds at 5'6" is actually quite underweight. 80 pounds for an adult is under the threshold of death and you should be working to gain probably 10 or 20 pounds, honestly.

I'm worried that you think you're over weight when you aren't at all.

What is wrong with your mother and sister, are they blind?

Don't loose any weight, you don't need to. Stop worrying about what other people are doing, there is nothing wrong with your weight, if anything you should gain a few pounds.

Learn to love yourself for what's inside, not outside and, I never thought I'd say this, stop listening to your mother, she's a fool.

I'm not going to give you the advice you requested, instead I'm going to tell you to go eat a chocolate bar, heck have two, have another on me. Eat cake. Eat!

quick story...

I was at a local starbucks one saturday morning enjoying a cup of java...when I heard, "Daddy does this have a lot of calories?" I look over...and to my horror, it's a girl who can't be older than 7...8 at the most. I was...shocked...and disgusted. I was hoping the father would look at her the same way, but he did one better as he replied, "no honey, this is ok for you."

...I wanted to beat that man to a pulp.

at the age of 18, weighing 100 lbs at 5'6" is underweight. Granted, it really depends on your build (a girl I once dated was 5'7" and weighed about 110...but she just had a small frame overall so she looked healthy and "normal") but even at the smallest frame and the skinniest body, at 5'6"...you should be weighing about 105 - 115...

just eat healthy, do light/moderate exercises, and you'll be fine.

tell your mom to drop me an e-mail...we can chat.

Hey Sneezy - If you need any help with the mom let me know, I'd like a few words with her myself.

Bottom line is you don't need to loose weight. Really. If I was your mother I'd just give you a hug and tell you that you're perfect the way you are. And you are. Hear me and believe it, I promise you, I'm know for my honesty, ask anyone.

You asked "Does anyone know of a good way to lose weight?" I know of many ways to loose weight, but I would not dare tell you because it could cause your death. Simple as that. It is not healthy to be under weight.

Wow! This is so not the reaction i was expecting............I thought everybody would be telling me lose another few extras and ways to do them.......Underweight? Are you guys sure? My mom, even at 40 yrs old weighs only 90lbs, so does my sis at 25, and i'm 18 and i weigh much more......I was told that i was overweight (by my friends too) which is why i was looking for a way to lose weight....Now, I'm totally confused....Are you guys serious? You can die from being underweight? But there's nothing wrong with a lot of the ppl i know, at least health wise, i think........

Im sorry i dont know if your family and friends are trying to brain wash you... but i dont know a single 40 year old that weighs 90 lbs not even movie stars that old weigh that....

Sweety look it up online. you are underweight. I would stop listing to your family and friends.
