Ht. 5'8, Wt. 173ish - Hey everyone, I've decided to lose 10 more pounds. I'm currently a size 12/13 in juniors pants and a L in Juniors shirts. My mom doesn't think I need to lose anymore weight but I do. Do you guys think I should? I need advice. My mom says I'm perfect the way I am. But I don't want to be perfect I want to be better then perfect! I kinda want to be a size 9 but I'd be happy to be even closer to an 11. If I lost 10 pounds I could probably fit into a 9. What should I do??? Please comment!

youre so lucky to have such a nice mom that wont push you too hard. all u have to do is tell her that you would like to drop a few more pounds. remember, its about being at a HEALTHY weight. not being a size 00 and looking hot in a bikini

I'd say 10 to 15 pounds would be perfect! Good luck! =)

Well, the size you are you pretty good. If you want to lose a little more weight, a 9 is a good size.
You shouldn't want to be better then perfect though because what if you get to a size 9 then you want to be a 7, etc. As long as you lose healthily and maintain a good wt/sz do what you feel. Good luck.
