Reply from Rebecca, Age 14 - 07/23/09 - IP#: 99.197.79.xxx Since you have lost quite a bit of weight so far (GREAT JOB by the way) some of the "fat" may be loose skin. After awhile of stretching and other exercise, your skin may ferm up a little, and adjust to your body. I don't know much about the loose skin, but it was just something I heard. Good luck. -Becky
Reply from Veronica, Age 16 - 07/19/09 - IP#: 78.1.136.xxx Yeah,my doctor isnt really a person to talk to.There are 2 doctors in the shift.One is obese herself and when I was borderline obese she just said "diet and excersise" and sent me of like in a minute without even running some test or measuring me.Other doctor is a little taller than me but she looks like she weights 90 pounds lol.Really,she looks like a walking skeleton.And she has a really bad temper and Im scared to go to her.And dont worry,110 lbs isnt really too light.Its still in a healthy range :)I know a girl who is alot shorter than me and weights 13 kg more,but looks great.So some people just carry better excess weight,I gues.Thank you for replying and good luck on your weightloss :)
Reply from Stella, Age 18 - 07/18/09 - IP#: 68.9.128.xxx Have you discussed your weight loss plan with a doctor? 110 pounds for someone 5'6 is really too light. The lowest recommended weight for someone your height (my height as well) is between 140 and 145. If you still feel pudgy, you may want to talk to your doctor. It's not healthy to be that thin at your height.
