i have considered weight training, but do not really know the basics, but thanks for the hint on what to search for in google. i have 6lbs weights--my only problem was that i didn't really know how to incorporate it in working out.
but doing cardio is still okay, is it?

thanks very much for your advice and understanding!
There are LOTS of things you can do with 6lbs weights. Google: Flys, Bicep Curls, Tricep Curls, Chest Press, Shoulder Press or read the stickied threads on lifting.

Cardio is essential for burning fat, I just think resistance training is equally if not more important.

At 22% you could still stand to lose some body fat, even though you are currently in the healthy range. I don't know what the usual waistline is for 116lbs, 116lbs just seems so tiny! I am around your height and 125lbs and my waist is 26", I suppose people carry their weight in different places.

If I were you, I would concentrate on lowering your body fat percentage and you measurements as opposed to reading the scale.
