text: want to be a size 4? i am exactally 5'2. i have lost a lot of weight.when i was 158 my hips were 40 1/2. i want my hips to be 34 inches.do you think then if i lose 30 lbs from 158 my hips would be 34. i know i needed to lose a lot more fat from that area. any tips of what 2 eat and not 2 eat to lose stomach weight too? thanks btw i am 24 year old female. right now your body mass is 29 which is really unhealthy. the weight you should be for your height is 112.  you should try to eat healthier and eat small portions. also do alot of cardio and pilates,yoga. cardio excercises burns lots of calories and pilates and yoga will make you more flexabile and also give you the lean look that you are looking for. but you have to keep yourself committed. to start out try to excercise 3x a week for 20 mins. then when you get yourself into a rountine you can start for 6x a week for 45 mins to an hour but dont start to hard on yourself cause that wont be good for you. also make sure you get alot of water cause water cleans out your body.if your still real hungry after a meal try guzzling some water and chewing some gum. the water will fill your stomach and chewing the gum will distract you from trying to eat more food until your stomach settles with whats in it. so goodluck hope you achieve your goal.
