132lbs at almost 6 foot (5'11) is already thin for your height. I'm 5'5 and 125lbs and this is my normal weight.



You're already thin enough, I think what you want to try doing is tone up those areas instead of lose.

Don't focus on weight, measure yourself instead. You seem thin so it might be hard to lose pounds. But see if you lose inches. Also, I *promise* you that if you are doing it for a guy....he doesn't want you to get thinner than you are already. Good luck and congrats on being such a great athlete!

I agree with the other 2 people on here that said to tone up. Get a personal trainer and start to lift very light weights. If you start working out (lifting) 4-5 days a week by the fall you will look great! You will probably also end up gaining 10 pounds but you will look better and thiner than you did before. Dont focus so much on a number... I would def. say tone up!

I bet if you lost 10 lbs before school starts again people will think you have an eating disorder and be talking about you behind your back and how you're too skinny and look boney.

tht is sick!! your going to be like rib showing creep. why would you want to loose more weight? i mean i weigh like 132 lbs and im 5'7" and i think im pretty skinny!! seriously that is not right... but since you did ask, jog everyday. it helps so much and you get a lot of endurance....if you already have really good endurance then you need to keep a healthy diet...doing crunches and stuff only makes you ripped not skinny necessarily. a good diet makes you drop weight. dont get me wrong.... crunches help but not in the way you say you "NEED" to but you totally dont need it

I don't think you should lose weight. By the sound of it, you're perfectly fit! I'm like 5'3" and the same weight as you. If you really want to lose weight, drink more water. Please stay healthy!

Why on earth would you want to lose 10 lbs?? You're already very thin for your height! I've been a personal trainer for over 25 years and there is no way I'd take you on as a client. Get your head on straight! You don't need to lose weight!

Run a quick mile everyday, and just eat all Fruits and Veggies, ALOT of watermellon, and cut out the junk food. Try Chicken rice soup, only 60 carlories per serving!

Height weight proportion is perfect.

Don't lose an ounce. Just do exercise daily.

A lot of sit-ups!! I do some kicks that i learned in tae-kwan-doe(however you spell it) too. And i ride my bike a lot. And the other girl could be right you might just need to tone up some. Lifting weights is a lot fun!! we used to do it in our P.E. class.
