I'm 18 years old 134 lbs. and 5'6. I need to lose 20 lbs, and was wondering since I'm at a higher BMI I can successfully lose this much sighing a month. If so how?

    Since you're already within a normal weight range for your height, the short answer is no, you can't lose that much in a month.

    I suggest looking up and reading the sexy pants thread, along with other threads for beginners...

    This, plus 114 would put you as underweight

    114 lbs sounds very low on weight for someone who is 5'6". Maybe you should re-evaluate your weight goal. I always like it better when the people on my team set a body fat % goal. It frees you from the scale to put on muscle. I you can be 120 lbs (or more) at the same body fat % that you want at 114, why would you want to be lower weight? Muscle = tone, strength, and shape

    She posted this before the 30 pound one. She's insane if 1-2 days made her want to add another 10 pounds to her goal.

    not insane, just really really poorly, unfortunately.
