Well, I have to agree with Johanna....(Which some here thought they would never hear!!

Old news now, right?)

However, since you are looking for an answer...I once read that you can take a 5' tall woman and assume 100lbs. Add 5lbs to that for every inch over 5 feet. So at 5'6" that would be 130lbs. She can eat out if she wants to eat lots of salads or grilled chicken and probably not gain weight. Scrambled eggs don't take much time to make, nor does peanut butter on toast for breakfast or a snack. I guess it all depends on her activity level...does she exercise? How far does she walk each day? Maybe suggest that she get a pedometer...? It never hurts to add more fruit to her diet...this time of year apples are plentiful, filling and portable.
If it were ME, I would just suggest that she go walk around the mall a few times and on the 4th pass, buy some new clothes that fit!!

I hope that helps a little!

Duncan and Jennifer

yeah! thanks! i hope yall' know shes not real!

Yes, I did know that she was "fictitious"

I was "pretending" she was real as that is what you need to do also right?
I think your best bet to get an A on this assignment is to go for the "she's not overweight" angle and that if she wants to lose weight, she can drop a few lbs just by small changes in her eating and activity levels...go for healthy and comfortable, not necessarily slim and unhealthy you know? It is an odd assignment which is why I think the teacher is looking for something different than weight loss. I think the teach is trying to make you reevaluate your ideas on weight and health. Either that or the teacher is wacky!!!!

LOL, THE TEACHER IS SAYING THAT THERE IS ROOM FOR HER TO LOSE WEIGHT! i THINK THAT SHE IS AT A PERFECT WEIGHT , FORGET WHAT HE THINKS, IF SHE CAN PAY FOR A NUTRIONIST SHE CAN PAY FOR NEW CLOTHS!

I'm 5'6" and 130, I would hate to think I was fat and needed to loose weight. She should cut down on the fast food and get more exercise and drink lots of water.
