[quote=Anonymous]I believe your body knows your ideal weight.  If you eat well, exercise, and get sleep (getting sleep is important because that's when you lose the weight) then your body will decide.

Also "weight" is a very inaccurate tool to measure fitness (assuming fitness is what you are going for).  One glass of water and you are 1 lb heavier.  I once gained four pounds eating sushi (not a lot of sushi…but a lot of salt and tea and water)

And, 130 can be a person with very little muscle mass and lots of extra fat, vs. 140 can be solid muscle and little fat, and the 140 woman will look slimmer.

Anyways, to figure out body composition, the best way is to get dunked in a tank--totally fun, btw.  There are mobile vans that do this.  You are in a swimsuit and go under water, blow out all your air, wait a second or two then come up.

The other thing I would recommend is to give up grains, and any kind of added sugar--it really helps with the composition of your gut bacteria, and creates a situation where you lose excess fat.

Good luck, OP[/quote]
