Is my weight goal okay? Goal: 120, then 110, and then MAYBE 100. Comments are appreciated!

Question

Hi lovelies!
So, at this moment, I'm 18, 5'5", and weigh 123.4 pounds.
The most that I remember weighing was about 140 pounds in 7th grade. I was stuck around 135 for a few years,and but now I'm working on it as a freshman in college. I'm actually scared/worried that I'll gain it all back.
I used to only drink about 8 or so ounces a day, and not exercise except by walking around my middle school and home. Now, however, I drink about 32 ounces of water a day and aim for 64. I try to exercise as much as I can, but I keep forgetting and my knee injury (both knees, different times) have been acting up. That's no excuse, though, I just need to try harder and trust that it will work.
I would post some pictures, but I'm kind of self conscious and I don't have anywhere to do it in private.
So, do you think that I should keep trying to lose weight, and if so, how much?
P.S.: Please be kind!

Answer

I think that is too small for ur height. It also depends on how u carry ur weight. I’m 5’3 and my most was 140 but 140 looks bad on me goes to my face and belly so the smallest i get was 115 and i felt way too small so like 120-125 fits me good. I have a friend that’s 5’8 and usually 105 and looks way way too small cuz she’s y’all but she’s naturally tiny no matter what she eats.

Answer

I am 5’5 and if I was 110 pounds I would look like a skeleton. I was 115 once and I was starving myself and couldn’t even go swimming because I would freeze. I’d say 120 should be your final weight goal, and if you aren’t happy with how you look, work out rather than diet. I’d love to weigh 123.

Answer

I'm 5'4 and 115 and trying to out back on weight I unintentionally lost. People regularly comment on how thin and too skinny I am. Your weight goals sound like an eating disorder in the making. Instead of fixating on a number focus on BEING healthy and fit. Work out for strength, flexibility, agility etc. and diet for a fueled, nourished body. The number on the scale will read what is should when your body is cared for properly. And the mirror will reflect your efforts.

Answer

When I was your age and height I weighed 125 and was considered underweight. It really depends on what you’re trying to do. I wasn’t trying to lose weight just time myself. I don’t think you need to lose weight my sil is 14 and the same height as you and weighs about 100 lbs and is also considered underweight.

Answer

I’m five foot 4 - 99.8 lbs after my third and only 2 percent body fat . For your height and weight you can weigh anywhere from 112 I believe to 140 to be considered “ normal “ what is normal
Anyway ? Idk . Eat healthy, work out daily and don’t worry about a number on a  scale too much . Go with what you’re comfortable with

Answer

For your height, I wouldn't go below 115lb. Anything below that is underweight and not exactly healthy. Your current weight is actually perfect. If you tone your body instead of trying to lose weight, you can achieve a good outer appearance while still being a healthy weight.

Answer

you are at the perfect weight right now the most for people at 5'5 is 150(this is what I've been told by my doctor) if you go to 110 or 100 I know you will be way to small for your height but it's your decision, just giving what I've heard from my doctor

Answer

Your weigh is literally perfect for your height lol. I aspire to be that weight.

Answer

My suggestion make your goal 115- 120! It is considered a healthy weight, I the same height as you, I am 21, and I am about 100lbs, I am considered very under weight. My goal is to get too 120. But what you do is your choice, we are all built differently:)

Answer

Your weight is healthy NOW. You need to focus on being healthy, nutritionally as well as physically, not losing weight. You are pushing too hard and your body is hurting because of it. You don't need to push through injuries. You need to let them heal and strengthen your body, not break it down.
