135 pounds weight\nand 67 inches height....\n\nhmmm, that puts you at a BMI body mass index of 21....on the low side if anything.....\n\nso if you reach that weight, your tummy will be where it should be....

A good friend of mine had the same thing.  Tiny waist, a relatively bigger mid-section. \n\nBasically, you have burn more calories than you take in, increase your metabolism, and most importantly, set realistic goals.   Don't do any quick fix diets or diet pills -- They actually hurt your body more than help. \n\nShe did the "Body for Life" program for 4 months and lost 32 pounds and is back to her best days...  Read the book -- I think you should be able to get it at a local library or any bookstore.  It's by Bill Phillips.. \n\nIf you do end up doing it, do it with someone who lives with you or a close friend -- That keeps you motivated and in check -- and would make you feel guilty, if you slip up.  \n\nGood Luck!

This is not the forum for weight loss advice.  Consult your family doctor.  Tell your parents you want to trim down and perhaps they can enroll you in Jenny Craig or Weightwatchers or better yet, find a Curves 30 minute workout location for you.  But consult a doctor before you take on any major weight loss plan.\n\n 72 Kilograms is about 158 pounds.  How tall are you?  Height determins healthy weight.

you should check out your body mass index and go with that. http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/ good luck.

I've been fat and thin (right now I'm fat) and being happy has nothing to do with weight or what you look like.  I was down to 114 lbs and a size 4 (5'4" tall) and I still wasn't happy with what I looked like.\nYou are still looking for approval from others/from outside yourself.  You need to approve of yourself and then you won't give a damn what others think, no matter what you look like.  No one completes you except  YOU and nothing from the outside can "make" you happy.\nBTW, a 24 1/2 inch waist is pretty small.  You probably don't need to lose any more weight.  Maybe you can exercise a little and tone up.

Hmm, you haven't seen any results in the fit of your clothes?  I'm not sure what weight you started at, but I have been on a similar regimen since May and I have definitely seen results.  My starting weight was 201 lbs, and I am now at 175; I have lost about 2.5" from my waist/abs, and most definitely I have had to buy new clothes (or tailor pants that I own).  However, the last 10 pounds is the toughest - I am at this point myself.  But  it sounds like you're doing the right things with alternating between strength training and running/cardio, keeping calorie count low, and watching what you eat.  All I can say is to keep it up.  Maybe for your body type, 4 months is not enough to see significant results, but you should come to a point where you will overcome this plateau.  Anyways, good luck.

Sounds like a plus, not a problem. You sound like you have what most guys find very attractive. I would try Pilates if you want to lengthen and slim your thighs....if you must. Or, maybe just try shopping at some different stores. Not all clothes fit the same way. You may find that another brand is a little roomier in those areas and fits you great. Good luck!\n\nI'm sorry...your body is just different than theirs. I'm sure you look great! I wish I knew a good answer for you. I am assuming that petite sizes aren't working for you either? Maybe just try a different material in your jeans/pants. Some are stretchier, so they might fit you in the waist and stretch a little where you need them too. Hope I helped. (can't believe I was the only answer you got!) Good luck! : )

Your BMI is 26.26, it should ordinarily be in the range 18.5 to 24.9 so it's a little above what it perhaps should be.  An ideal weight would be between 57 and 71kg.\n\nThere are many factors that need to be taken into account, athletes or bodybuilders for example have BMI's and weights that are often outside the 'normal range'.\n\nThe best course of action, if you're at all concerned, would be to consult in person with a physician, dietician or other suitably qualified person.

if you want to lose weight you really want to lose it thats a good start for motivation. buy a pair of skinny jeans that you would like to fit and be reasonalbe one that will actually fit one day so you then have a goal to get that great body into those sexy jeans

To reduce your waist size, it is important to:\n\n1. Regulate your food intake. Refrain from too much food.\n\n2. Perform cardio-vascular exercises (aerobics) to reduce total body fat (that includes waist fat). For men, it is easy to gain or lose fat in the waist area. Yeah, badminton is a good aerobocs exercise...swimming...jogging...brisk walking...cycling...sprinting...Taebo...Etc.\n\n3. For better abdominal muscle tone, do strength & resistance training exercises, like abs crunches.\n\n4. For total body conditioning, do stretching, bending exercises.\n\n5. For mind and body conditioning, do yoga...

This depends on your age and your genetics. It may be virtually impossible to reduce your hip to waist ratio.\n\nLook around at your mother, grandmother, aunts, etc...If you notice that their waists are larger than what you consider normal, then you should resign yourself to a new concept of normal.\n\nWomen have different shapes and figures, trying to look like a magazine model is not a wise decision.

good for you for not wanting to change what you eat - you're already on the right track: exercise!\n\nI recommend some all-body exercises: swimming and jump-rope.\n\nHowever I also recommend measuring your waistline or similar if you are trying to "loose weight" because you are most likely shedding fat but putting on muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, so you are probably getting slimmer without loosing actual weight, which is perfectly normal and healthy.

If you want "cut" not size, go high reps low weight.  Obviously, the reverse is what is needed for size.

You'll be fine gurl...lol...like the previous person said...they'll put you on a diet plan and it's up to YOU to keep it. As far as age....I can't remember what the cut age is or the size restrictions but yea...call your local recruiting office and they'll tell you.
