Should I try to lose more weight?

Swegei asked: Should I try to lose more weight?
I currently weigh 185 pounds (though 183 in the morning). I am 19, 5'11 getting ready to turn 20 this week and I was wondering whether I should lose more weight. I used to weigh 225 at the start of the summer and I honestly didn't realize I weighed/looked so bad. It interfered with my dating life and I knew that girls weren't thrilled with my weight. I was determined to lose weight so I cut soda, fries, and eating after dinner out of my diet and a few months later, I have lost 40 pounds overall.

Girls seem to notice me more but still not like what I want though I feel a lot better about myself which is the best thing. My mom recommended I stay at this weight but I think I should drop 10 more pounds. I think I will be more attractive and feel even better about myself if I do this.

What should I do?

Additional Details
I forgot to mention that I do lift on a regular basis and have not really experienced any extra skin from losing weight aside from just not being toned.

As for dating, I have been told that I have a great personality but I suffered from the the "nice guy" sydroym that has all of the nicest words and funny personality had a fast food diet.

It is starting to change some now.

Princess replies: It all depends on how your body is shaped. Usually, Dietitians check your body weight by height when someone has small, medium, and large body types. Since you are MALE, 5 feet is 110 pounds for medium body type weight range. Since you are 5 feet and 11 inches. Every inch added after 5 feet is 10 pounds for medium body type. If you have medium body type, 11 inches multiplied by 10 is 110 pounds, so you are supposed to be 210 pounds, that is only if you have a medium body type. If you have a small frame body type, then it's minus 10 pounds, which is 200 pounds. And, if you are large frame, then you are supposed to be 220 pounds.

Now, weight is not everything. Going to the gym and doing Cardio first, then other things is a must in order for a girl having to look at you. Also, protein is very important for guys.

I can suggest you have good Carbs for breakfast such as cereals rich in fiber, less sugar, skim milk or lactaid skim milk. Also, egg whites for breakfast any style you want. A cup of coffee, if you like without sugar, but Splenda, Sweet & Low, or Equal.

Drink fresh juice and 8 glasses of water per day. 3 glasses of skim milk or lactaid skim milk per day.
You can break down the hours such as every 2 hours, you'll drink a glass of juice, milk, or have a fruit, or munch on carrots or celery stalks, or even have cucumbers to fill up your appetite.

Walk 20 minutes a day, any chance you get. Expand 5 minutes when 20 minutes get bored.

Lunch, if you are having fast food, ignore the fries and soda, and have grilled food instead. If having home made food, protein all the way, ignore the potatoes, have the whole grain products such as brown rice, parboiled rice, whole wheat bagel, bread, whole wheat pasta. Change your diet a bit, and you'll see a whole new you.

Dinner, don't over eat!!! Have a bowl of chowder, about a cup or two. =0) Also, salads are great, it could be any type of salad, from Greek salad, to Cesar Salad to Fruit salad, whichever you prefer.

Hope you'll follow it.

Should the JobCentre withdraw claims that I was abusive if they have no evidence to support it?

Nigel G asks: Should the JobCentre withdraw claims that I was abusive if they have no evidence to support it?
They claim I was abusive on the phone and that they terminated a call with me

In fact the opposite is true. I hung up on their member of staff in desperation as a result of her appalling attitude. (I assume it is this call that they are referring to, although they haven't even told me which call their allegations relate to).

They only brought up this allegation months later after I finally made an official complaint about them. I haven't been told what I did that could be considered abusive. They appear to agree that I didn't shout or swear or insult anyone. I complained to the office manager and he claims that they didn't record the call and he can't explain to me in what way I was abusive... only that my "behaviour was unacceptable" and that he is glad I realise that I will modify my behaviour in future (I won't... because I don't know what was wrong with my behaviour!).

It's pretty obvious to me that this false allegation was invented to cover their own backs after months of mistakes at every step of my claim.

How can I get them to formally withdraw this false claim?

Princess replies: I know that there's one thing this Detective once told me is that "if you filed a complaint, the other party who you filed the complaint against, cannot file a complain back at you". So, if that company is filing a complain against you, it's unacceptable if you had already done so firstly. It's in the Book of Law and Ethics. Check it out if you'd like.

What's the healthiest thing to eat at iHop?

Rockworld12 asks: What's the healthiest thing to eat at iHop?
Okay, okay, i know "Why would you go to iHop to eat healthy?" But i would still like to know. I think I want to get eggs, like using egg beaters or egg whites only. Maybe poached eggs? I don't know, help me! Also, I am planning to get fruit. Any suggestions?

Princess replies: any of the entrees can be picked as long as you eat half of it, and take the rest to go. That's what a lot of Dietitians recommend.

Drink a glass of water before beginning anything. And, start off with Soup and Salad. If you have more room in your tummy, pick something else out.

If you see anything that is grilled, pick that. Ignore the mayo, ignore the fries. Instead of fries, have baked red potato without sour cream and butter. Ignore Garlic bread. Have the garlic bread to go, for a snack after two to three hours, when you are hungry again. Or ask a friend to finish it for you. Or take it home with you, and put it in the fridge for later.

If it's pork bacon, One bacon is okay and not couple of pieces. Have the other pieces to go. But, if you want more, have turkey bacon instead.

Dessert: Pick the Fruit Crepe with Ice cream (because ice cream cleans out the palate), and have it with Fruit compote instead of whipped cream.

As for Omelet, pick an Omelet without the yolk, without the cheese, and with all the veggie ingredients.

I hope that helps. Also, finish yourself with Water.

Princess replies: Don't just ask anyone to be your child's online tutor. Go to either www.championlearning.com or www.kaplan.com to have a online tutor. These websites are trusted sites or you can get a tutor from Department of Education. Don't trust that many just because it's on yahoo answers.
