[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]8-10 pounds in a month is not possible to do in a healthy way, [/b]and I cannot believe a doc asked you to do this.

I am your height, but started out weighing 10 pounds more, and have been trying to lose 15.  I try to eat protein at every meal: cottage cheese or yogurt for breakfast, salad (lettuce, carrots, mushrooms, tomato, cucumber, anything else in the house) with chic peas or grilled chicken for lunch, dinner is veggies and lean protein, sometimes a high fiber carb (small sweet potato, quinoa), and if I am hungry later, air popped popcorn or an apple with 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter.  I am losing about 1 pound per week.[/quote]

I disagree.  135 at 5’3 should make it easy to drop weight quickly.  OP has a lot of weight to lose.  She could probably stand to lose 25 pounds.  This isn’t the last 5 pounds kind of things.

OP - cut carbs, walk 5 miles a day, no refined sugar or alcohol, don’t eat dinner after 7 PM, no snacks of any kind.  [/quote]

Please ignore this ridiculous post. OP’s weight at 135 is well within the healthy BMI range. OP does NOT have “a lot of weight to lose.” Actually it wouldn’t be that easy to lose because OP is already at a healthy weight. It’s not impossible, but it’s not a cakewalk. [/quote]

I am an AA 5’3 woman and extremely muscular.  If I weighed 110 pounds I would look emaciated.  I am a size 6 at 150 pounds (with accompanying measurements - not a “vanity size” size 6).[/quote]
