Losing weight for my modeling?

NY is really demanding. Most models are at least 5
'8" and are 100-110 pounds. I don't think I'll ever get that low. I'm 5'7" and 128 right now. I'm really thin but have areas I could trim down. Once I trim down completely, I really don't think I'll be that low. Maybe 110-120 if I am lucky. I'm not willing to starve myself. I don't want health problems or a dampened metabolism. Do you think I have heavy bones? My dad is under 6' and told me he's over 210. I couldn't believe it. He looks maybe 180. How much more weight can "heavy" bones ad? I have a small-medium frame. Also, do you have any healthy weight loss tips? Anyone or any models want to share? Thanks!
hey, i'm not talking just runway. i know i can't do much of that. i'm mainly in commercial/print, but ALL the models seem to be stick figures

How can a 14 year old prevent getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from typing?

I want to write a story (that is going to be a bit long) and my dad has Carpal Tunnel Syndrome because his job required a lot of using scissors. I don't want to write freehand so how can I prevent getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from long periods of typing. I'm also only 14 so is this also a factor? Serious answers please. Thank you =]

How do I talk to my parents about my depression?

I'm 15, my parents divorced last week. Recently I've spent the majority of my time with my dad. For a while now I find myself thinking about suicide and realizing I have nothing I feel I need to live for at this point. I want to talk to my parents about this but I don't know how to, and I'm scared what they will do.

I found a therapist to go to but how do I know where to start?

I've been to therapy before, and basically my main concern in going to therapy for anger that I have toward my dad for ruining my family because he's an alcoholic, but I also have other issues I'm concerned with like major self doubt issues and negative self talk. But I don't remember how the first appointment goes? Do I just list my issues? For those who go to therapy, what is the first appointment like?

How do I eat well during the holidays?

I am going to my dads house over Christmas and will be going to many different family get togethers. How will I still eat healthy without making it obvious to my dad and the rest of my family?
I am also only 14, so they won't expect that I actually care about my health

How much sugar can the average person ingest before they get diabetes?

Ok so I really love sugar. Some nights I'll even have 2 desserts and my dad always says I'm going to get fat and have diabetes and that I won't get insurance because the insurance company won't help me since I'll be in such bad shape. I wanted to know how many grams of sugar I should ingest a day so I can keep from getting diabetes.

How do you prevent stretch marks with muscle growth?

So I'm 14 (15 in 5 days). I figured it would be a good time to start working out. I've got fairly good genetics. My dad's a fucking monster when it comes to muscle size. The only problem is that my skin is getting pretty tight and I'm beginning to notice small stretch marks. How can I prevent any further stretch marks?

How do you know when your voice has changed?

I am 13 years old and my voice has been "changing" for about a year now. I understand how, why, and the reasons it changes. I'm just not sure how to tell when my voice has finished changing. Right now, I can still talk in my childhood voice, but I also noticed that about 2 months after my voice started changing, I developed a deeper voice that I could speak in and that it became increasingly difficult to speak in my normal voice. Sometimes it's really hard to talk in my kid voice and it jumps down to the low voice. I just wanted to know if my voice has already changed and I need to start speaking deep, or if I still need to wait, but it's been a year and I am soooo tired of sounding like a little kid. The thing is, my "deep" voice is REALLY deep, like I sound like someone's dad. So I don't want to sound stupid by talking in that voice before I need to. If any guys who have already gone through this would like tell me about your experience, that would be very helpful. :-)
