  • According to my weight watchers guide you should be about 56-71 kg for your height. This currently makes you underweight not overweight. I think at your weight the occasional desert and chocolates are fine as long as you are also eating enough fruit, vegetables, and healthy fats, carbos, and protein food. I would work on raising your self-image and being proud of the body you currently have rather than trying to lose more weight.
  • Are you exercising? Chick on the Beach is right. You don't need to lose any more weight, but it sounds as though some exercise is what you need to firm you up. An aerobics class/some weights/yoga... there are all kinds of things you could do. Some of the women here do belly dancing, which would be a GREAT way of gaining some definition.
    Good luck!
  • And remember to drink lots of water, even if you are not dieting. Your skin will thank you for it.
  • thkz gals..u all may be rite...but guess i was gg for a perfect pict of my own...but anyway i hope the coming week is a beta week to get myself discipline for my workout....but still in delima tho as i reali hope to shed a couple of kilos more...juz a l'il not much..itz the 2 weeks w/o carbs tat will kill me/
