that's probably the low range of healthy, she was trying to get UP to 44-46kg. the range of healthy is way more than just 2kg. you're probably in the middle of the healthy range, you dont need to be a toothpick

I honestly don't see how you could not be slim at your weight; so, before you try to lose any more, perhaps you need to look at why you actually want to. Just make sure you don't have a distorted self-perception, because that can lead to a lot of problems. I could go on for ages about how, as you get thinner, your perceptions re: width change and you can't quite tell exactly how thin you are, but I don't want to jump to conclusions. I just get very upset and worried when girls who are already thin have a desire to be even thinner, because eating and weight issues often start off quite innocently, but if they get out of control and obsessive they can lead to very messy situations. :(

but that's just it, i'm not physically slim.

i think my boobs have gotten a little smaller (damn it!) but my thighs are still pretty disgusting. i'm not trying to attract comments like "omg you sooo do not need to lose weight", that's the last thing i want. i genuinely feel the need to lose this fat.

You do need to have some fat on your body though, especially for females. And that could just be the way your figure is supposed to be. If you're eating a balanced and healthy diet and exercising regularly then you should be looking and feeling great. ;)

stop eating.

like, i don't mean go anorexic and stupid or whatever, but only eat when you're actually hungry. duhh i know but i've done it recently and i'm losing weight with no conscious effort.

also if anyone here is like me... ie goes to uni all day then works lateand doesn't get a chance to really eat a big meal until late by which time they're starving... start eating lunch when you can and make it big lunch. it's soooo much better for you than running all day on empty (or not very much) then coming home >9pm and eating a huge dinner cos you're starving

*reply to catwalk* don't be worried about your breast size. Males need to get over this obsession of breast "quota": it's your body not theirs. If you want to improve your thighs then do "thigh specific" exercises. If you have reached a plateau then it means that your either at the "right weight" or you have to take your exercising up a notch.

Walking---> Jogging---> Running

:eek: post diet + exercise routine, pleease?
heaps of walking. i take the stairs/walk home from 2 train stations away when i can. apart from that i used to go for a run for an hour but it stressed me out thinking about it (wierd...don't ask) so i now do 55 mins of cycling (kinda like an exercise bike setup) everyday except when my bike breaks and i have nothing else to do and its raining outside and i stress because i think im going to get unfit/fatter if i dont exercise for 2 days :S
diet's a bit all over the place. i dont eat any shit. exept chocolate. but i remove the chocolate from me. so i only have chocolate maybe once a week and even then i only eat as much as i can fit in my mouth before i realise that its bad BAD BAD.
my advice. go natural. everything!! and exercise!!!

I hate bread. I think it's the most disgusting, overly processed and overated food (nutrition wise) out there. Two slices of WHOLEMEAL bread contains 250 calories. That's absolutely ridiculous.
there are certainly more greatly processed foods available, especially considering the great variety of breads available, including sprouted bread, which is barely processed at all. in addition, there are also smaller breads available, in addition to flat breads, mountain breads, and so forth that do not contain 250 calories p/2 slices. a slice of mountain bread contains less than 100 calories, and a slice of an un-super-sized slice of bread can contain a similar number of calories.

to some people they are..

actually with me it's a flat stomach. i've always been fairly slim, but for years if i don't have a flat stomach, then to the gym, down with the crap food and only healthy food.

what a weird motivator.

I know I've said it before, and people have told me it was bad. But periodic starving works.

In the short term, yes. But one cannot maintain starvation for long without it eventually leading to a binge. And that's not good!

plus it fucks up your metabolism, so when you finally eat, your body is like "omg food!" and basically holds onto everything you eat. not a good idea.

No. Shut up.

I think you should be really careful before you go around advocating self-starvation, you twat.

starvation works short term but is ridiculously bad for you. i wouldn't go arounid recommending it as a brilliant weight loss idea.

there are no miracle weight loss ideas. eating healthily, doing little tricks (like lemon water and apple cidar vinegar to speed up metabolism) and exercise helps you lose weight.
