How much should I weigh?

Question

I’m 5’ (19 yo) and I’m currently at 120. I used to be pushing 128 until I lost those 8 pounds through diet and exercise. I can’t recall what I’ve always weighed but I don’t know if I ever was at 110. Everything I read says I should be around 100-115. I once was at 115 so I see that happening, but idk if 110 is pushing it? A lot of people my height weigh that amount so I know it would be normal for me but I just feel like it’s not right? I know someone who’s 5’5 and she’s 109 so that makes me feel even more obligated to definitely reach for 110, especially considering my height. I have belly fat and even with the 8 pounds being shed, it has remained completely on my stomach and I really want it gone. So maybe I have to reach for that number. Thoughts? :(

Answer

Don’t focus on the number. Focus on having a healthy and toned body that might not be 110 lb.

Answer

Health and fitness is more important than weight. I exercise 5-6 days a week (about half high and half moderate intensity) and eat a very balanced diet. I'm currently calorie counting to lose some of that lockdown weight, but even when I'm at my lowest weight my BMI still shows as overweight. Like..... bones sticking out and the BMI calculation tells me I'm overweight. Strive for fitness and good health, not a number on a scale.

Answer

Weigh whatever you need to live a healthy well life. Weight is just a number

Answer

Always remember muscle weighs more than fat…I don’t listen to drs cause they really don’t know what’s healthy for me, I do. I have a large bone structure so healthy for me is about 175-185 n I’m 5’7”. Smallest I ever was, was 155 n I looked anorexic. You have to go to a weight that YOU feel comfortable with. There’s nothing wrong with having a bit of a tummy

Answer

Just depends on your preference and health honestly…I’m 4”11 and weighed 133 before I got pregnant…and I didn’t look bad at all nor was I unhealthy…it’s not really about the numbers always, it’s just really about how you look and feel.

Answer

You are a perfectly healthy weight for your size. You shouldn’t compare yourself to others because everybody is build different. Just focus on eating healthy, exercising, drinking water and not stressing to much. If you take care of your body it will take care of you.

Answer

Completely normal, nothing to worry about :)

Answer

It’s about a healthy BMI. You can find calculators online and it’ll tell you the range you should be in, but it’s also not 100% because people have different body types
