Can a medium framed person ever get down to 110-120?


Quote  |  Reply

I have a medium frame (wrist is 6.5" according to all the measurement charts I looked at). I currently weigh 156 pounds and am 5'11". My goal is to get down to 110-120 by next March, preferably a 110. Would that be possible? (considering my body type is somewhat mesomorph)

I know I wouldn't ever be able to look as thin like the models but I'd like to at least look skinny.

Well, actually the height thing isn't a problem anymore. It's the frame. I just feel like I shouldn't be both: tall and wide so I feel huge compared to all the other girls at school. I don't see anyone else with my frame except boys so I feel too huge for a girl.

Then you will find this amazing 6'3" guy who loves tall girls, and it won't matter anymore.  Don't worry so much about the other girls, cause I guarantee they have have problems and insecurities too. some of them may be looking right back at you and thinking that they wish they had long legs too, or that they were a little curvier, or a number of other things.

Work on putting some time in at the gym, adn toning up your body, not losing weight, it will make you look slimmer over time, and will also give you a lot of confidence.  There are also a lot of good looking guys at the gym :)

No, I wasn't. I did however go to an agency once and they told me I could do plus size modelling.

wow this suprises me that they told you : you could do plus size modeling, just bc i remember seeing on america's next top model and the girl lost weight so she was becoming to thin to be plus size. i would think you would be too small/thin to be plus size.

anyway - 110-120 would be smaller then a lot of models @ 5'11" 

- i would go back into the agency and see what they say when you are a bmi of 18 (129). i bet you would be perfect.  yes underweight but - model perfect.

and medium frame can get thin they just look bonier then a smaller thin frame.

goodluck to you.

5'11 at 130 is perfect like the above post said.  isn't that what most models are?

Even 130 at 5'11" is a BMI of 18.1 which is underweight. Calorie Count is about promoting *healthy* weight loss. I hope a mod gets in here.
