The scale is never important, quit weighing yourself.  Go off of measurements, if you're losing inches and adding muscle you're doing well.  If you're not losing inches, take a good long look at your diet; because this may be the culprit.  Join fitness forums they're fun and you'll get alot of answers just by reading the info. they have there.  Good luck!  Here's a great fitness forum :)\n\nhttp://z13.invisionfree.com/ExtremePhysique

One that is healthy for your body type. If you are 111 and studies show 110 to be the preferred weight, why are you whining about 1 pound? Did you weigh with your cloths and shoes on, is it "that" time..........if so there is your 1 pound. Stop worrying about what some studies say and ask your Doctor what is a good weight for you.

Why people still rely on pounds as a judgement for their health amazes me yet today.  It is a myth that should be overcome.\n\nAt my healthiest (and I was very trim and firm) I was 170lbs at 5'8".  People would judge that, at first glance, as an unhealthy weight range.  But what people don't consider is that if you are a fit, trim, muscle heavy person... you will weigh more.\n\nIf you need a guide, try the Air Force body fat standards:\nhttp://usmilitary.about.com/od/airforcejoin/a/afmaxweight.htm\n\n"The formula to compute BMI is weight (in pounds) divided by the square of height (in inches), multiplied by 704.5 (Don't worry about that though, the below chart shows the maximum and minimum weights using the formula)."  Which if you go to the website it will show you what I copied and pasted next --> At 66inches, your maximum weight can be 170lbs, mininum can be 117lbs.\n\nSo you see, you're right where you should be.  And if you're concerned about not being fit enough (not skinny enough) then try this.  It will give you killer toe jumps as a cheerleader:\n\n* Hang from a workout bar, a tree trunk, playground bars, etc.\n* Raise your legs up and out in a 'V' shape\n* Hold for one minute\n* Rest for one minute\n* Repeat 10 times, every day\n\nTry running if you want to take off some fat (notice I didn't say pounds or weight).  It burns a lot of calories and gives your heart a workout.\n\nTo make sure that you're utilizing your food intake correctly, eat like a:\n* King for breakfast (big meal)\n* Prince for lunch (medium size meal)\n* and a Pauper for dinner (small meal)\n\nI wish you the best, and chin up because you don't have to feel this way forever!

What do you weigh at the moment? At 5ft6 and 13, you shouldn't really weigh more than about 140lb-145lb, but as your goal has to be realistic, aim to be at least 155lb. Good luck : )

it is normal, mine does the same thing, most people's weight can fluctuate easily by 6 pounds or even more. just weigh yourself once a week and that will tell you a better average than weighing in 2 or morwe times per day. but do not worry, it happens to all of us.

According to http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/iwc (copy-pasted from the site):\n\nAccording to your height of 5' 5" your ideal healthy weight is 125 pounds. Your recommended weight range is between 119 and 149 pounds.\n\nThis was calculated using Hamwi formula, a simple formula commonly used by many clinicians.\n\nThese are recommended weights. Talk with your doctor about what weight is best for you and before undertaking any new diet or exercise programs.\n\nYou can learn more about BMI and see what it is for your current weight by checking out our Body Mass calculator.

At your age and height, 115 is a perfect weight.  And, weight is relative anyway.  What is important is what makes up the weight that you carry.  For instance, lean, trim muscle weighs more than fat, so a person without a lot of excess fat on their body is going to actually weigh more than the same-size person who has a lot of excess fat.  So, what you really need to be concerned with is your physical well-being.  Are you in good shape?  That's a much more important question than what you weigh.  I'd say that as long as you are in good shape and not carrying around a lot of excess fat, you're doing fine.

Hi it sounds like you have a solid cardiovascular program going. Have you looked into purchasing a heart rate monitor?  \nWhen starting out lifting I always tell my clients lift moderately. Lift what you feel gives you a solid feeling. If you feel like your wimping out you probably are. If you feel like your arms going to fall off on the first day I'm betting your lifting to heavy. The goal is to build a varying routine that your body has trouble adapting to. While not killing yourself so you'll come back tomorrow. This type of lifting  will burn more calories, as well as help you gain strength and power faster. Id suggest you look at the book  The New Rules of Lifting. The have detailed workouts for any level of lifter, even the most novice. It has picture diagrams of all of its exercises and most importantly its workouts vary so your not just doing chest press and arm curls all the time. I hope this helps. Good luck!

135 is the perfect weight for you.  If you just want to tone up then join a gym and get into a weight lifting program.  Make sure your eating right. Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work to there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com  Bottom line is don't worry about your numbers, just be concerned that your body is functioning correctly and is getting all the nutrients, rest, and exercise that it needs. Good Luck!

no you shouldnt your only 14 wait until your 16-18 and you know your overweight 5'4" and 118 is not overweight and if your going off of a Body Mass Index chart then that is BS also because according to a BMI my ideal weight is 200 lbs at 6'2" but I am 260 lbs I work out 4 days a week and run 6 days a week so im not overweight. What you could do now though is start running nothing wrong with that but dont worry about losing weight it will just happen naturally while running.

I think you are talking about 72 Kg and not 72 lbs. This is about 159 lbs and you might be underweight. Where fat is stored is determined by genetics. So lose the fat and add muscle. Reduce carbs and fat, increase protein, keeping your total calorie intake almost the same. Do moderate cardio and more weight training in your workout
