Well, according to chars I've read, I'm pretty close to underweight, although it doesn't look like it, I don't look deathly skinny at all or what not, at 141 pounds, and just barely 6 feet tall, I know by the height and weight you'd think I look like a twig but I don't :p So I plan to lose 5-10 pounds through the month of April, decreasing 500 calories ( I normally eat 2200, so 1700 now) and I already eat healthy food, and I'm going to do 5-6 days of cardio a week, probably 5, with weekends to rest. I'm also doing this to build back up my self control that's been sucking ever since I stopped losing weight.

So, should I try and lose the weight, or is 130 just too little for someone of my size? Or is there a way to lose body fat % without losing weight? (Haha sounds stupid, but I'd like to know) or something? Or maybe I should just tone my body up a bit? I have no access to weights or gyms, currently.

Would like some advice :)
 
I would try for weight gain. I remember in high school I was 6' and about 135. I look at those pictures now and wonder how I was ever that skinny. I was in AF Basic Training, and while everyone was losing weight, I gained 9 lbs. I am a comfortable 200 now. I may try to lose 10 when it gets warmer, but I wont go below that.
 
Do you have a reason why you would want to lose another ten pounds ? And, yes in my opinion, .. 6' 140 lbs. is skinny. As far as your question, can you lose bodyfat but not weight .. the answer is YES ... add muscle.... Get access to a gym or lift weights at home. the more muscle you have the higher your metabolism is. So basically, 1) add muscle through weight training .. 2) you lose bodyfat (with proper diet, this is vital) . 3) your weight remains the same OR you gain some QUALITY weight.. which is what you need JMO :)
 
all about the way you see urself i guess, if ur comfortable at 140 , go for it! and u can loose body fat with out loosing alot of weight, if u eat a healthy diet, and weight train, you could tone urself up and be all muscle at 140, but im 5'11 and i was about 140 lb, and i looked like i was being starved to death :) ( u can see from my pic in the photo area ) , i find im much more comfortable where i am weight wise. But i do think 6 ft 140 is extremely skinny, id shoot for around 160 :) anywhoo! good luck dood! :D
 
Hmm well now I don't know what I want to do, I guess I just want to lose that lil belly I got left and tone up my body, maybe some cardio and whatever weight training I can do with the small amount of weights I got lying around. If I eat my maintanence calories and still do cardio/weight training every day maybe I'll see some changes.
