isabelle,
there is a difference between people who already are taking care of
their health looking for the best way and people who are choosing between
actually doing something healthy or dying slowly on the couch.
the storage of fat is the body's way of protecting itself against
starvation. if you are already exercising and eating right and are having
trouble getting rid of weight you think shouldn't be there, you may want to
investigate theories on set-point and how to manipulate it (you may actually
have to eat more in order to fool your body into thinking it doesn't need
those five pounds).
btw, are you thinking of giving up singing to become a full-time
cavegirl?
