    Some people aren't interested so much in fitness as they are in a particular physical aesthetic that is thin but not athletic.

    Take it from someone who's just starting down the road toward having the body/level-of-fitness that I want - everything you're looking for (and more) will happen with the right exercise routine. Dieting alone won't get you the body that I understand you want. The right exercise routine is your holy grail.

    Arms thinner? A simple, regular workout that involves lifting a tiny amount of weight a bunch of times (12-15 reps - EASY!) will have your arms looking toned, and awesome. You'd never look like a body-builder. Even if you did that same exercise 6 hours a day, every single day. You can even ditch the cool little foam covered dumbbells and get some resistance bands - both are great for toning.

    Belly gone? I'm guessing if you're not sucking it in that it bumps out a bit in a way you find unattractive, right? Cardio that focuses on your core will make that flat as a board - probably hard as a board too. Those type of exercises you do until your stomach looks exactly the way you want. Then, all you have to do is follow a simple full-body cardio routine to maintain the body you just sculpted. Or be active - play sports / jog / hit the exercise bike a couple of times a week. No biggie. Although, if you keep going hard on the core-focused cardio, you'll slowly develop the six-pack. Up to you.

    Anyway, take it from a tall, lanky guy who's been researching this for years. My goals? I'm trying to get down 4000+ calories a day and put on healthy, lean muscle (opposite the way you need to - lots of weight, far less reps). It's freakishly hard work, but paying off. I've gone from 137lbs to 148lbs - at 6'2".

    Your wish list, starting from 5'5 125lbs - is right around the corner.

    So, you want to be underweight per BMI with basically no muscle tone? OK then....
