Girl, Seventeen (17) and tall trying to get super body!

Hi, I'm a 17 year old girl, 5 feet and 10 inches tall, weighing 155 lbs. I'm not very toned, and I'm not trying to get all bulky and buffed up, but i would like to weigh 130/135 lbs and have a body like, say, Gisele Bündchen. I'm a vergetarian, I'm very healthy concerning nutrition and I just started really getting into going to the gym (I go around 3-5 times a week and I have a supervising personal trainer) lately, because I think physical exercice is crucial to get the body of a topmodel. Perseverance has never been an obstacle with me, I'm technically healthy and drink a lot of water. Could you please tell me how long you think it will take me? Is a 4-times-a-week workout (of about 2 hrs/each) enough? Am I getting too deep in? Do you think it's possible? Please state your opinion, esp. if you're a professional!! I'd be really, really grateful!!

Thanks in advance!

PS: I'm not trying to "be" Gisele Bündchen, but her body type and height are similar to mine and I think she's a good role model for girls who want to get FIT! Thank you!

Diet is key.

Don't worry about getting bulky; it doesn't sneak up on you. Weight training can be the fastest way to fat loss.

2 hours is a bit much but doable. If you are new to this I'd cut back before you burnout. 45-60min is good 3-4 times a week.

For weight loss 1-2 pounds a week is healthy weight loss. Over that and you might be burning muscle, not good.

Yep, agree. Plan on one or two pounds a week if you're diet is solid and working out effectively. 8 hours a week is plenty, depending on what you're doing and for how long (weight training, treadmill, etc.). I'd say 4 days of 1 hr weight training - if you're working hard - is great and probably about the same if you're just doing cardio, which I wouldn't really recommend.
 
hi

I completely agree with what the others have said. take it easy and don't feel frustrated about this, because that's the way you sound to me.

it can take some time ,but trust me it's doable,be patient.
