Vanity lbs!! How can I lose 5-10lbs?

I know excercise would probably be the best thing. But, I can't commit. I'll start the tread mill one day and then not do it the next. I eat pretty good. I'll eat a fruit for breakfast and then some kind of salad for lunch. I don't snack in-between for the most part. I am noticing little love handles and I don't like it!!

I am 5'4 127lbs. I would like to be between 115-120.

Thanks for your help!!

Unless you exercise, you are bound to keep at the weight you are right now. Have you been this weight for a while? You body may want to stay that way. So after dieting, your body will start to gain the weight back unless you start an exercise program and gain some muscle mass.

No. I had a thyroid condition which made me gain these extra pounds.. I have normally been between 110-115. I am 27, so I am sure my metabolism is slowing down. My Dr. told me it would take about a year to shed the extra lbs. It's been 2 now and I can't seem to go below my current weight. I must admit.. I haven't excercised on a steady basis. I am sure that's what I probably need to do. Maybe, I will start running. That seems to be good excercise.

Thanks!

I strongly suggest weight trainning. Have you ever tried it?

The added muscle mass would be great for you if you are at a plateau that you can't get out of.
