Hi, hi folks. Its me, Leah. And this is my first time here. I'm 5'11'' and weigh 172 pounds. I came across this site a couple days ago. I swim and am on the track team. And for swimming I need to be at 140 by July. I'm not really sure what to do, because I have food issues where I either eat nothing or close to it or I eat horribly like chocolate and stuff. It just frustrating...lol. So I pretty much go up and down. And now there's no competing until I hit 140.

um- you can def. compete at that weight. i have a freind whop is great at it and is bigger than you. you need to talk to someone about your coach because 140lbs at 5'11" is very very small and i wouldn't recommend trying to get there at the date you set. sorry- it's downrioght unrealistic...your coach is an a$$

I don't care if I lose the weight or not. Its my swim coach, he wants me to and I'm not allowed to compete in the Fall season until I do.

are you serious? Im 5'9 and thats right in the middle of my weight range, 140-but youre 2 inches taller. Why do you have to loose weight? You cant be over weight now, cuz im the weight you are now and i only have like 30lbs to loose! whats going on?
