How much would I need to lose to be at a healthy weight?

Question

I am 5'7 and 165. I am overweight. How much do I need to lose to be at a healthy weight? I would like feel better about myself!

Answer

Stop weighing yourself.  I stopped years ago after battling an eating disorder.  I realized seeing the number on the scale would affect me so much more than anything else.  Sleep well, eat whole, organic, healthful foods, drink lots of water (4-6 litres a day), and exercise at least 3 times a week (even for only 20 minutes, it will make a huge difference in your overall health and wellness.  I recommend cutting out all sugar/sweetener, processed foods and grains for at least 30 days.  Those things contribute to weight gain and other health issues because when your body digests them, they turn into sugar.

Answer

It's strange because I eat a lot of junk food like a very lot and I hardly exercise and my boyfriend eats healthy, has hardly any snacks and used to exercise a lot but he's always had difficulty losing weight but if someone looked at us both, they'll see him having more weight on him than I have on me and automatically think I'm the healthy one and he isn't when it's the complete opposite. Just because the scales have a number on them, doesn't mean it defines how healthy you are or how beautiful you are or whatever!

Answer

Eat healthy and exercise, that's all you need to do to be a healthy weight as the scales don't really matter considering the fact that everyone has a different body shape and different weights may run in people's family's and all that sort of stuff. If you're eating rubbish all day everyday then you're not healthy but if you're eating healthy then you're a healthy weight. That's how I see it, I don't think all of this BMI and other charts make any sense whatsoever!

Answer

The health range for your height is 123 to 158 so you aren't that much over weight. Just go based on how you feel. Remember the scale is just a number and doesn't define who you are.
