    P.s, I am around 5'3-5'5. I want to get to about 8 stone...

    Are you 5'3", 5'4" or 5'5"? 112 pounds is more realistic for 5'3" than 5'5", except in some specific cases. What do you weigh now?

    I didn't weigh today, I got up a bit late and just didn't. I range from 8 stone 10 to 8 stone 12 really, just fluctuates. I know it may seem odd, but I want the scale to decease, I just want to lose more weight. I am healthy, nothing to worry about.

    She has the same breakfast and lunch every day.

    While I agree with a lot of what you said, this isn't an indication of an eating disorder necessarily. I eat the same things pretty much daily because I enjoy the taste and I've found what's filling without being super high in calories.

    I fluctuate here and there, but not a whole lot. I don't have an ED.

    That said, I do know my height.

    Well, you're already at a healthy weight, so it's that much more difficult to lose. Your body may be telling you that this is what you should weigh. And if you're 5'5", it's probably right.

    I think it's a little worrisome that you just want to lose weight for the sake of losing weight. If you don't have any issues with your body then what difference does it make how much you weigh?

    I do know my height, I am just unsure how accurate it was when measured... I thought I was 5'5, but I could be 5'3.

    I do not have any issues, I just want to look thinner. I do not 'hate' myself, I am content, I would just rather be thinner! Pretty normal I think, most people are like that.

    If you want to look thinner, it's a body composition problem, not a weight problem. Right now, it's probably a few factors.. body fat is too high and lean body mass is too low. You can try to eat at maintenance for awhile and lift heavy or you might want to try a few bulk/cut phases. And before you freak out over the terminology (because when people hear bulk, they think hulk) look at the below link and concentrate on Staci's before and after photos from going from 120 to 130. If you want that lean fit look , then you need muscle.
