[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to have to dissent,  I think the OP is slightly overweight . 87 million Americans are pre or full diabetics. ..90% type 2 from poor diet. It is the fastest growing disease in history. People are too quick to accept being overweight.

OP- in addition to common sense nutrition,  for me circuit weight training was transformational. I was an overweight runner, but when I got a personal trainer and hit the weights the results were dramatic. I even eliminated all cellulite.  I also fee amazing and strong.[/quote]

Actually, this is the attitude that gets women in trouble. 5'2" and 125 is not even slightly overweight. It is perfectly within the healthy BMI range for someone who is 5'2". But women have this attitude that we must either be super skinny or nothing.  And thus we developed f'ed up relationships with food and even more f'ed up weight loss goals. And inevitably, for many, we fail to met those f'ed up goals and give up completely. And then we convince otherselves tht it's okay to actually be overweight because the alternative (being rail thin) isn't achievable.  So stop telling women that an acceptable weight is overweight. You perpetuate everything that is wrong with fitness and nutrition. If the OP wants to lose 10 pounds, that's fine and her weight will still be acceptable. But her current weight is not a problem. Your belief that her weight is wrong is a major problem.

And FWIW, before anyone starts attacking me, I am 5'2" and 120. I am thin, but I would still be an acceptable weight if I gained 5, or even 10 pounds. [/quote]
