weight loss...?

Question

I'm an Australian size 10-12 (American 6-8) and feeling very self conscious. I'm 17 years old and I have a bit of stomach fat and weigh 55kg (120 pounds). My parents are saying I need to loose weight and I'm fat and I'm not happy with that.... Is that really overweight... Am I obese.... Any diet suggestions? Especially vegan diet as I try to eat little meat or animal product because of fat contents....

Answer

Its not fat. As far as losing weight you would want to exercise and cut out sweets and pointless calories. If you're only eating vegan due to avoiding fat that might actually be hurting you. High protein content and healthy fats actually help build muscle. Building muscle is important because muscle compared to fat takes up less space and burns more calories to maintain than fat does. You can eat protein and healthy fats without meat, but it's easier to include it.

Answer

55kg doesn't not sound like you're overweight!!
I've recently started doing Emily Skye's exercise and meal plan to lose a couple of kilos and tone up. If you do want to do something than I'd recommend it as it promotes healthy living and the Facebook group is full of super supportive women.

Answer

120 is definitely not fat! How tall are you? Hey we've all got flab that we can tighten up but it doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about. Sorry your parents are so critical

Answer

Hun... If you weigh 120 you are not over weight. I'm 5'5" and weigh 160. I should weigh 130-140 so I'm over weight a little bit. Trust me size 6-8 in American size is a great size. I haven't seen that in 2 years.

Answer

Your parents are rude and full of shit, sorry but that's not the way to tell your child to lose weight etc, your weight and size is average, I'm the same as you well I'm a uk size 8 American size 4 I think as it goes up by 4 in the uk, I always think I'm fat because I have a fat Arse and rolls!
