[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what the answer is, but I relate. I feel the most attractive at about 5-10 pounds lighter than my body's preferred weight. At the lower weight I can't even look at a carb, I'm hungry all the time, my hair is thin, but I just don't like how I look with a bit more weight, even though it is within the normal range.

+1. Currently at "normal" BMI and my face looks a little gaunt but I'd still like to lose. Why do I have to lose it from my face?? I want to feel good in my clothes.[/quote]
OP: To add to this, I went to the doctor for a routine check and mentioned I wanted to lose weight, so she got me information to do so. I told my mom I wanted to lose the baby weight and she gave me some tips. I told my friend and she gave me some supplements to aid in weight loss. And no one at any point was like, well you’re at a totally normal, healthy weight so you shouldn’t be losing. Isn’t that weird? I feel like everyone kind of agrees it’s better to be thinner.[/quote]

How do you feel in your current body? Are you physically able to conduct your business (ie, child care, work, household duties)? Do you sleep well? Are you as fit (meaning not running out of breath doing activities)? If you feel healthy and strong, why are you asking for weight loss tips? Fwiw, I'm 5'7 and currently 150. My fighting weight is 135 but I feel strong, fit and energetic right now so have no motivation to diet. Thin arms or legs that don't jiggle aren't motivators for me. Feeling strong is.[/quote]
