    You could keep asking questions on how you can loose weight, waiting for the easy option but you might be waiting a while.

    I am just confused as to why you want to be 130# when you are 5'6? 145-145# would be much healthier as a target - 130# is much more appropriate for a female of that height...

    That doesn't mean you need to take yourself to a really low weight.

    Why not drop some of the flab (cut down to 145#) and then sit there for a while - if you train hard and eat right you should be able to modify your body composition without making yourself skinny...

    Listen to Emma. I'm going through the same sorta thing. I'm your height and weighed 175-180 lbs. I got down to 140lbs and I was still "skinny fat" - skinny everywhere and flab around the waist. I started doing what Emma suggested eating right and training hard and that helped a lot - I'm gaining muscle and slowly loosing the weight arounnd the waist. You don't wanna go down to 130lbs thats really unhealthy - you'll end up starving yourself to get there and it will do you more harm than good.

    Yes it's very possible. It's called Body Recomposition Gaining LBM and losing bodyfat at the same time.
