Answer

I believe strongly that walking everyday is the gate way exercise to loosing a lot of weight in the beginning. I did it to recover from both my pregnancy and reached my pre-pregnancy weight within a year. its a great way to start.

Answer

You could use to lose some weight. But honestly don’t worry about the scale number. Just walk maybe use light weights or a resistance band to tone your muscles. Keep taking pictures to document how you look and FEEL. The scale is horrible and I hate it. But if you actually notice your body changing is the best thing ever. Good luck sweetie!!!!

Answer

I believe that you should but mainly because right now you are overweight and if you continue that then later in life it can lead to various health problems and well that sucks so here's some tips if you choose to lose some weight! Start off by cutting out sodas and sugary drinks those just add unesssessary calories and replace those drinks with water. Drink lots and lots of water (it'll keep your face clearer too!) if you don't like the taste of water add fruit to it, I like strawberries and mint! Also just get in a half an hour of exercise every day you can even do simple things just as walking you dog. Also making your portions smaller a trick for this using smaller plates so your brain thinks that your eating that same amount of food before when really you're eating a healthier amount of food!

Answer

It’s up to you, but I’m a bit taller than you and heavier than you, and it’s fine, until you get back problems and stuff. I’m 20 and it finally started to cause back pain, that’s why I’m losing the weight. Plus your about to be in your prime! It would feel so good to get all that extra weight off your mind. Once you get into late high school, early college, you might really want to drop the weight. Do whatever you want to do, I’m in a similar boat as you haha, Whatever feels good to you tho. ☺️

Answer

You are gorgeous how you are and shouldn’t feel worried by people saying yes, lose weight. Based on the numbers you gave, you are overweight, which has a lot of health risks, so it is important to lose weight so that you have a healthier and longer life. But see if you can find a way to do it in a healthy way (like others have suggested eg. going for walks, cut out soda, junk food), see if you can find a support network (whether it’s on here, on another website, or in person) to keep you motivated. Good luck :)
