How do I lose weight?

It is incredible that you would say you were fat at 117 pounds. It sounds like you might be at a good weight or even a little underweight. It also sounds like you might be looking for someone to confirm that you are not fat. So many people these days are obsessed with weightloss and being that “perfect” weight. Everyone is unique, a weight that looks good on one person may not look good or even be healthy for another person. What do the people around you think? ask people you trust like your parents, etc. do they think you should lose weight?

Looking into the media and judging yourself by their standards is HORRIBLY unhealthy! A lot of those actresses/singers/models have the same body issues as you do, they however may have an entourage of hairstylists, make up artists, personal chefs, personal trainers, and photographers (with editing capabilities) at their command. It is unreasonable to compare yourself with them. I’ve heard actresses, who have seen pictures of themselves in magazines, say that they don’t recognize themselves or that they don’t look like that on a daily basis.

The earlier you start worrying about your health instead of your weight, the better off you will be for the rest of your life, emotionally and physically.

Damn… my friend is 5 7” and weight 123… ur definitly NOT fat

you are definately not fat at 117 lbs at 5’7, even 140 lbs is acceptable for your height. I don’t think you need to lose weight.
