How tall is 141 inches in feet?? I'm not very good at math...

[lilJdawg]

if you want to lose weight. you can excerise. just dont starve yourself, that doesnt make you lose weight.

[elmogurly]

Um. I think that 141 inches would be 11 feet and 9 inches? Maybe I am wrong? That is a bit taller than the average person.

[ghjgfkgfk]

she said 141 cm not inches.

you can exercise regularly. like running or jogging. sit ups or push ups. it works if you do it every day.

My advice for losing weight... stop eating so much...

[ryfitaDF]

i have an idea. stop caring if you're over weight. that's what i did and i've never felt better.

[chica777708]

and excercise more!

[HaN4RaNg]

hehe.. i'v lost 10 lbs in about 2-3 weeks this month and im feeling GREAT.. i didnt even exercise. well.. it was mainly from being sick with the cold and bronchitis which totally ruined my crave for food. so now i only eat a little a day and nothing too heavy. usually those Healthy Food things that u buy in the frozen food section are really good, thats wat im currently eating for my meats. good luck!

[sammi rules you]

100 pounds? Geez. Then I REALLY need to lose weight..I'd love to be 100..

[sunissed14127]

yeah...i have the same problem as u....im 5'2 & 190!!!! eekk....but u kno im lucky...i dont look all that fat...just a lil chubby....& i dont eat alot....i dunno whats my problem!!! im starting to do athletics & dance classes and hopefully this will help...... i kinda get depressed....

[simplepark1390]

I tryed Weigth Watchers, its pretty good, i went from 150lbs to 130lbs in like 3 months...

[Gypsy Eyes]

i have an idea. stop caring if you're over weight. that's what i did and i've never felt better.

my thoughts exactly

[jo3]

i have an idea. stop caring if you're over weight. that's what i did and i've never felt better.

i agree, yet i disagree. its good to feel positive about your body, but if you acknowledge the fact that you're overweight, you've made the 1st step to losing fat and looking better

do not put down the fork, but rather eat small, healthy meals (about 4-6 a day, 2-3 hours apart). eat a lot of protein, vegetables, and fruits, and try not to eat many carbs. that means no ice cream, no chocolate, no white bread. the only carbs you should eat (if you really wanna fat) are wheat bread and brown rice (there are more but those are the 2 most common healthy carbs). don't drink soft drinks, but if you have cravings, then drink something diet (but don't do it often because the carbonic acid is bad for your bones).

you mentioned being on a diet, but do you exercise? exercise consists of both aerobic and resistance exercises. do some 100m sprints (8-12 with a minute rest in between) and do lift some weights. lifting weights will result in you getting more muscles, which will break away your fat because muscles need lots of energy to function. don't worry about getting big and ripped because girls don't produce much testosterone, which is what makes guys huge.

[XxBeExOHxX]

im like.... 5'5 and 119-120 pounds, i think, taking diet pills.

[xolilkatie]

eat less and healthier..eat stuff with fiber.. because its healthy and it fills you up fast

and exercise!

[mai_z]

drink lots of water! atkins works, but the main struggle is keeping the weight off after you've lost it

141 cm = about 4'7''

[roxybabe]

Um. I think that 141 inches would be 11 feet and 9 inches? Maybe I am wrong? That is a bit taller than the average person.

lol thatz funi......just excersise and play sportz or sumtin

[Mireh]

uhm

no.

[pbear]

If you want to lose weight, eat healthier and exercise.
If you want to be stupid, take diet pills or use one of those extreme diets like Atkins.

[x AZN D0RKii x]

exercise .. AL0T . eat healthy food .

[msz_duckie]

yeah pretty much what everyone said excerise and eat RIGHT no junkie food, well the best way for me was swiming, they where swiing classes for 8 weeks, one day a week adn i lost 10 or 15 pounds...i guess thats the fastest way...

[inthemudhole]

Hm.
(to topic person starter d00d yeah..)
I don't think you're overweight..
-_- Hate these threads.

[anGeLgRL53]

i say u jus control the amount of food you comsume..you dont wanna overeat so jus try n limit it until ur lyk 89% full, do not eat fatty foods (ex. hamburgers, french fries, chicken nuggests, nething fried. etc), exercise few times a week, drink lots of water, control ur amount of sweets tat u intake. u can have lyk a few sweets once in a while but not everyday. tat should do it. you shouldnt be on one of those crash diets cuz once u loose all tat weight by deprivin ur body of once u eat sumthing you are gonna gain it all bac. just do it the healthy way. good luck

[captured_serenit...]

dont eat alot...and control yourself...work out...or take a walk...that's always nice...

[casssy]

stop eating everytyhing you see

[compleXperceptio...]

141 cm is roughly 4'8" (correct me if i`m wrong).

from some of the replies, how do you know that the problem is that she`s eating too much?

for a teen? you`re, what, 13/14? i think your weight should be the LAST thing that you should be concerned about. that`s how bad the media is, polluting peoples` heads to think that bone thin is beautiful, and at THAT age?? that`s horrible. stop thinking about the media, stop thinking about what other people think. and if you wanna do it for yourself, then good for you. but why would you think you`re too fat? `cause society... your weight is perfectly fine. but if you`re really THAT concerned about it, then try to limit your food intake BEFORE the evening hours.

[xpLiCitsmuRfette]

I'm not sure if "losing weight" means to get lighter or to lose body fat. Anyways if you sit around doing nothing all dayy, eventually your muscles turn to fat and then you get lighter since muscles weighs more?

But to lose body fat, take swimming. but not like the splish-splash-beach-ball-just-chilling kind. this one has to be competative with like 2 mile workouts and stuff. join your school's swim team or something. Its the best sport if you dont like getting sweaty. :P You can get a tan AND lose fat AND eat whatever// how much you want ;]

[PingPong]

just 2 things diet n exercise...
diet doesnt mean.. eat a lil... ppl always do that..
it means.. make ur diet better (diet=food) lay off the sugar n extra carbs.. cuz they convert to fat O_O thats a no no... eat all ur .. umm watever they are called.. haha building blockes or the food pyramid? haha besides the tip O_O
exercise.. do intensive exercise ^_^ it works but dont over do it O_O... dont wanna be a muscle gurl O_O'''' RUN!

[hebrokedmyheart]

lol Yah i know. I know what to eat. I'm 15 gunna be 16 in 100 days The answer to being skinny is put down the fork. If someone offers you fries say to yourself "Do i really need that?" I want a trampoline for exercise but my mommie doesn't want me falling off and killing myself lol yeah... i'd be a rail if i had one of those. I love them. Gotta get a job and buy my own :)


Look at my FAT ASS lol

then why waste your time commenting on posts like these??? geez....

welll anyway, i would suggest doing pilates. i do it every morning, and not only does it make you fit and everything, it make you feel good, like mentally.... lol ive only been doing it for a few weeks, and i can already see an improvement both mentally and phisically....
eh, this sounds kind strange, but i hope you catch my drift...

[rodellee]

So 4'8 and about 100 lbs... that isn't "FAT" but you are slightly over your ideal healthy weight for your height.

I think 90-95 pounds is what your "ideal healthy weight" is. You can check out BMI calculators online, healthy women have to have atleast have 20% body fat.

Anyhow, the best thing to do to lose weight (and this is TRIED & TRUE since I am 5'1 and used to weight 112 and now weigh 94) is to NOT diet.

DIETING is so restricting. Instead of dieting you need to dedicate yourself to a healthier and more active lifestyle.

For example, don't eat at fast food restaurants. It wasn't a problem for me since I don't like fast food too much.

Don't eat overly processed foods like sandwich meat, instant microwave meals, white bread. Also, don't drink soda, and if you must drink diet. The best thing to do is just to start drinking lots of water, 100% juice drinks, weak teas, and low fat milk. Liquid helps flush out toxins in your body and keeps you hydrated.

Don't skip meals. Do not starve yourself. Your body knows you're trying to starve yourself therefore will HOLD ON to the fat in your food which then gets stored in your system. Anorexics get very skinny because they starve for looooong (dangerous) periods of times and thus their bodies enter ketosis.

Stay active! Instead of parking in the first parking spot park further back. Carry your groceries instead of using a cart. Walk to the mailbox instead of drive. Go swimming, take a short walk, even walking around the mall! Every little thing adds up.

And lastly, don't get discouraged if you don't see the weight dropping quickly. Like I said, you're not on a diet, you're changing your lifestyle to be more active and healthy.

It took me about 4-5 months to lose my weight and I ate desserts and had lattes and ate rich foods, but I also compensated by doing extra laps on the threadmill or drinking an extra glass of water...etc etc...

Just take it easy and the best luck to you!

[picaso_smile]

Simple, but hard: No candy, sweets, pop, sugars/be qactive, join a sports team/don't slouch, tummy muscles then slack/ many crunches/exercise in the morning (it speeds up your metabolism for the day)/always eat breakfast/don't eat after 7:00 at night cause yu won't have time to burn those calories before you sleep

[eli5e]

try pilates

[babyxyelloe]

if you want to lose weight, you should excersize and eat healthy. Dont go on diets or starve yourself to death, but dont go too skinny you can die from that as well.

[mzteriouzme007]

well i think that for breakfast, just eat like.. a litlle bite, and for lunch, drink a drink and freeload off anyone who would let you, and for dinner, just dont' eat much. kuz it takes longer to digest and so it fills up in ur'e system. and go joggin and stuff.. p.s. dance is good, and so is like.. tennis adn basketball

[islandkiss]

huh?

do you need advice? or are you offering some?

please don't spam.. when you make a thread GET YOUR POINT ACROSS.

advice-excercise and control your eating habits.

[*x____duckii*]

Uhhh...exercise, drink lots of water, and eat healthy portions of food, duh. And stop caring about your damn weight, or else you're gonna end up stressing about it. When you're stressed, you'll gain more weight (I dunno if I made a lotta sense or not).

[XxtoxickissxX2]

My advice for losing weight... stop eating so much...

yeah but then if ur a teen you still have to eat.
Everyone else said it Excerise. Pick the one that suits you.

[cutielilsuga]

man 100 lbs for 4'7
hrmmm
you should cut out sweets and definitely work more and stuff...
and drink lots of water

[conster]

DO NOT starve urself and drink tons of water it helps washes out the wastes in ur body =] and exercise hehe it doesnt matter how much u eat and what u eat, as long as u work it off

[[2]realisticx]

just cut back on the fatter food but still keep them in your diet like reward yourself every once and a while when you keep on eating the right foods. maybe join a team? swimming always works for me :]

[pinaykizzes]

watch what your eating and play lot of sports >>i play basketball and mann is there a lot of drills

[Comptine]

Eat more meals with smaller portions. Cut back on sugar and any processed foods (cans, microwave) because they are loaded with ...bad things. Forgot the word. Lolx. I lost 5 pounds in one month (which isn't a lot but I also gained some muscle)... I'm 5'2 1/2 (I'm short), 15, and 114 or 115.

Cravings are horrible so find the one treat you really love and treat yourself once in a awhile. Your body feels good, your taste buds are happy, and you're less likely to jump off your plans.

CARDIO! Dance, run, walk, jump...WHATEVER. Just get you heart pounding.

Which reminds me... I got to get my lazy bum off the coach and start moving.

[lilxroxy]

she said 141 cm not inches.

you can exercise regularly. like running or jogging. sit ups or push ups. it works if you do it every day.

lmao!!!!!!

141 cm is pretty short you know?

[PingPong]

[lilxroxy]

avoid bubble tea [yeah it`s hard--buh the heck?! a cup of bubble tea is the same as 3 bowls of rice] and other stuff like bread and rice...they have too much carbs

[literemix24]

[miss_asian]

[tresa1992]

[jambaJUICE]

Yeah. Dont worry about it.
I`m 4"10 and last time i weighed myself i was 108.5
But before i used to be 1O3

And im the shortest chick in my class.
Everyone else is taller than me.
And all my "Filipino Friends" except for one.
Are taller than me, and still weigh less.

[MarilynMonroe]

Simple: Burn more calories than you take in.
DON'T do Atkins, you actually need carbs. They're one of your main sources of energy. If you want to cut back carbs, cut back on simple carbs like donuts...ect. But you do need complex carbs like breads and noodles.

[XxClaymate21691x...]

Hey well I m 5'6" and weigh 150. I need help sooooo badly I tell my friends oh its just normal for me but i feel soooo guilty. I mean do u have any diets that will ACTUALLY WORK!!!! because i was anorexic before and lost 13 pounds soooo i might just stick with that...

[rottencherries]

I'm like, 163cm and weigh about 140. I'm really fat for my age(14). Keep doing exercises. That's what I'm TRYING to do these days. And eat less helps too.

[mellyshelly]

I'm 5''6, 12 years old, and about 135lbs. That's really heavy.

I think it's because of muscle.. cuz I have muscle like EVERYWHERE literally. But, what I do when I feel like I'm fat is drink lots of water and eat APPLES =)

[teeners4]

lol y do ppl worry so much about it?

im like 5"2 and 135. but then im da most fit gurl in my gym class (100 ppl)

[*Expresseggroll*]

what age are yah?

Cause, if you like 12-14, thats all still baby fat, believe it or not. And ur body is still growing from 14-18.

So, if you diet when u young, ur gonna prevent/resist any new or any growth needed.

Thats gonna f*ck u up

[Winter]

Exercise and sprint. Drink more water. Eat less carb.

Do that and you'll be able to lose a lot of weight.

One thing I've realised, your weight doesn't matter as long as you don't look it. This is because you might have large bones or heavy bones.

[xnicole_MuAhZx]

go on atkins. my mom went on atkins and she lost 50 pounds. she looks great. but still eat a little carbs, cause you're a teen and you need you're carbs. drink water. it'll fill you up and make you less hungry. excersize. there's this excersize machine called the olyptical. my mom and me use it, it works great.

"avoid bubble tea [yeah it`s hard--buh the heck?! a cup of bubble tea is the same as 3 bowls of rice] and other stuff like bread and rice...they have too much carbs"


thats hard... >.< haha.. i dont think sit ups are really helping me with "losing weight".. cuz i think thats more of "getting rid of fat and repalcing it with muscle". to lose kinda around your tum, do push up position (instead of using your hands, use yur lower arm for support) for a while. i guess thats helped me some...

is about 110 lbs overweight for a 4' 11'' person -_-.. (probably but i just had to ask)

[mz anita xP]

i always i'm think fat and short, i still do, but when i really look at myself and people from my skewl, i'm tiny o.o, but i still want to get thiner, mayb not skinny, but toned, i guess maybe you could exercise? keep like a schedule or something, always exercising at least lik how long and keep doing it all the times becasue if you do it once and stop, i heard you get fatter or something. dont stop eating or anything like that, some people get fatter that way, but some get skinnier, either way its jus not healthy. even if you did get skinnier, dont mean you'll look better. because of starvation, you might look so pale.

[twisted_stripes]

I'M 5'5" and i WEIGHT 122 POUNDS, MY ADVISE TO YOU IS EXERCISE and WATCH WHAT U EAT :)

[tinababy143]

exercise and eat healthy..its not all that hard

[i can break]

It's natural for teens to gain some weight during puberty; you shouldn't try to lose it.

The only exception is if you are overweight for your age or height.

You should just eat right; or not eat so much junk food. I tend to do that, but it seems have the opposite effect.

[girllikeme]

Its not about losing weight or being skinny. Its about being healthy :)

If you really want to lose weight though, try not to eat within 2 hours before sleep. Always eat breakfast because that raises your metabolism. Also, EXERCISE! :D

[buckfuddy07-04]

i'm 11, 5'0" and i weigh 110 pounds.

just stop caring how you look and excersize more.
