Answer

The scale doesn’t matter. How tall are you, your activity level, muscle... that matters

Answer

I feel the same way, I’m short (5’1) and weigh 146-150 depending on the day. But I think it’s just how we carry it and muscle since it weighs more than fat but takes up less room. This was a day where I felt really confident 😅

Answer

Don’t worry about the numbers on a scale lol. When I was in high school, I was very athletic. My weight was all butt and muscle, yet a scale said I was almost 200 pounds. If you looked at me you would have thought I was 130 soaking wet😂

Answer

Water weight can add a few pounds but at most maybe 5. If you feel health and you exercise I'm sure you are healthy! If you need to calculate your BMI online there's plenty of websites you can do that on. For everyone against BMI it is only inaccurate with athletes, body builders and very unusually tall or small people since they have above average muscle mass or height.
