Will I still lose alot of weight if I am already in the healthy range?

Looking at your current weight/ height - you're tending towards the lowend of the BMI normal range. If you get to your goal weight of 100, you'll have a BMI of 16.6, which is well below the underweight BMI. According to the graph, you shouldn't weigh less than 112.

Realize that when you get to those critical low weights, your body will make adjustments. One of them is to store fat/nutrients in the omentum. Ever seen the refuges from Africa? Skinny scrawny legs and arms, round bellies.

I agree that exercise should be your major focus at this time, rather than losing weight.

The Bmi cant always be accurate, for one thing, it doesnt know exactly what my body fat percentage is, and the other thing is I have a very small frame. I agree is 100 pounds is probably too low but I do hope to get to atleast 110. Once again, I already exercise. I am quite curvy , and would just prefer to be on the slimmer side. Those african kids have kwashiorker, a disease caused by protein energy malnutrition i think which can hardly happen to anyone receiving ample amounts of food. I dont have an eating disorder at all, I eat alot around 1600 calories these days with enough of all the macro and micro nutrients.

Its below the Penha church along the stretch that used to be the coastal road before they built the manmade lake and the tower. It is sort of across from the tower. Avenida de Ribiera I think (my spelling is probably off) It doesnt look like much. The decor is basic and kind of drab but the food makes up for it. I took my firends there and it sounded like that scene fron "when Harry Met Sally" where Meg Ryan fakes an orgasm in the deli. LOL Only they were gasping and ooohhhing over the food! But if you like spice, he does a great King prawn in chili sauce (get one and split it with someone-they are big), great African chicken, curried crab, and his stir fried clams (cilantro, chili, garlic) are so good I could eat them all day long. For your non Atkins friends, they have to get the banana fritters for dessert and of course, a bottle of vinho verde.

Bubbles, what ab work do you do? If you hate the gym, give a pilates class a try. The classes are great for firming that midsection and lower tummy "pooch".

China doll, I will definitely check it out next time I'm in Macau, probably in the summer,

I do no ab work at all , hrhrhr, i guess I should start, will try looking for a pilates class when conditions get better here in Lahore.
