Nutritional/diet/exercise help!? I am 20 years old, 5ft 3in, 140lbs, BMI = 24.8 and have a body fat percentage of 23%.
I have lost 18lbs over a length of time, with no exercising, simply a healthy and well balanced diet.
I have gone from a UK size 12/14 dress to a size 8/10. However, I am still not happy with my weight.
24.8 is extremely close to being overweight according to the BMI index (25+ overweight).
My goal would be 126lbs, but my weight has plateaued and I have remained at 140lbs for months now. I fear exercise because I don't want to gain weight and undo all my hard work, and every time I exercise I gain weight! I am in a dilemma over this. Please, somebody, help me lose that last bit of weight! Maybe suggest exercises that will in fact help weight loss and not gain, or maybe nutritional info reasons this is happening, etc.
Thank you!
P.S. I know a size 8/10 is not overweight, but my BMI concerns me nonetheless. I, like most woman, have the flabby bits they would like to see GONE!
