-- Posted by lovelylindsae at 8:19 pm on July 8, 2008 ok. i'm 5'7 and 155 lbs (spread evenly around my body). i want to get down to 120-125 but my bf doesn't want me to. he think i'm fine now but i AM actually chubby no matter what my BMI says. he says 10 lbs tops but i'm thinking more like 30-35... however. i can't seem to lose any anyway so it looks like i'm stuck. should i give up or keep trying?   -- Posted by JackieisBlue at 8:19 pm on July 8, 2008 keep going! -- Posted by Taylor636Baker at 8:20 pm on July 8, 2008 My sister is 5'7.5" and she's like 155-160 and she looks perfect to me Her stomache is flat and her legs are long and skinny and she's not super thin like everybody else around here.. It's nice -- Posted by porcelain cinderella at 8:20 pm on July 8, 2008 If it's something you want and it'll make you happy then do it. Duh he's your boyfriend but you can't do what he wants if it's not what you want. But thats just my opinion -- Posted by ashleyacid at 8:21 pm on July 8, 2008 Go for it. You just have to work with it. -- Posted by blufindr at 8:21 pm on July 8, 2008 why do you want to be thin? -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 8:21 pm on July 8, 2008 You need to be comfortable with your body, and if it's something you aren't happy with, then you can change it.  The best way to go about doing it is probably just exercising.  You don't need to change the diet, and just exercise to tone up the areas you aren't exactly happy with?  It's up to you... at the end of the day, you need to be comfortable win your own body, right?  But like I said, I wouldn't go with dieting... I would just exercise.  This will keep your body healthy, and help keep you in a shape and size that you can feel comfortable with. -- Posted by 2ndbreakfast79 at 8:21 pm on July 8, 2008 keep trying. and it should really only matter that you are comfortable with the way that you look, not what someone else thinks you should look like, unless it's an extreme situation like anorexia or severe obesity. -- Posted by camillelong 26 at 8:21 pm on July 8, 2008 rather than trying to lose weight why not try toning? -- Posted by pinkertongrass at 8:21 pm on July 8, 2008 do what you want. He probably just doesn't want you to get "out of his league" or something. -- Posted by mguitar1234 at 8:22 pm on July 8, 2008 who's body is it? yours, correct... therefore you shouldn't give a shit what your boyfriend says! -- Posted by desireelovesyouu at 8:22 pm on July 8, 2008 When you are taller like that it would be worse if your weight was less like you want it to be. The weight you are now seems perfect. Im around 5'7" -- Posted by windmillkickyodog at 8:22 pm on July 8, 2008 just be healthy. none of that anorexia bullshit. -- Posted by dark eric at 8:25 pm on July 8, 2008 If he wants u to be chubby then dont lose weight -- Posted by tkedwn119 at 8:25 pm on July 8, 2008 I'm 5' 4" and 120lbs.  Don't know if you need to cut that much -- Posted by Themakingofagod at 8:26 pm on July 8, 2008 Lose whatever weight you want to be HEALTHY, thats all that matters, if he doesn't like you trying to be healthy, he's obviously not looking out for your interests. -- Posted by swtpie at 8:29 pm on July 8, 2008 Try. At the point when I weight that much, I thought I was fine...but now I'm VERY overweight. Do something now before it gets harder. -- Posted by dolce e gabbana at 8:31 pm on July 8, 2008 fuck your boyfriend do what you want and yes go with the plan -- Posted by fullmooncurse at 8:32 pm on July 8, 2008 You should be happy that he likes you the way you are. -- Posted by JuggaletteBaby at 8:35 pm on July 8, 2008 if you want it, do it. -- Posted by devilindisguize at 1:44 am on July 9, 2008 i know how you feel. i wanna be thin but my boyfriend doesnt want me too either. but i dont care what he says, its my body so i'll do what i like with it. try and stay healthy. the bmi is there for a reason, try and stay in the healthy range.
