Any thoughts??? 🥰

Question

Hi ladies, So lots of people make their New Year Resolutions as to lose weight, get fit, get healthier, etc. I am 16, 5’11, and I currently weigh 196#. This is my highest weight I have ever been at and I’m very scared to gain any more weight. I used to always be at 160 and in the past year I gained 30+ pounds. What would you guys say is a normal weight for a girl my size? Im also looking for very honest thoughts about my size. I feel when people are honest with me, I can most succeed. Does anyone also want to be a weight loss buddy? My family isn’t much help of helping me reach my goals. And any comments of good weight loss tips or things that have helped you before would be greatly appreciated. 
Thank you girlies!! 💕

Answer

I honestly think you look like a normal size. But, toning up and getting healthier is always a good idea. I’m trying to lose a little bit of weight because my pants are getting tighter and I don’t feel confident in myself like I did a couple of years ago.  Maybe get a cheap gym membership and start working out a few times a week. Also, get a food tracking app. I recommend MyPlate. Do not become obsessed with losing weight or whatever because it will become toxic for your mentality. Maybe even see a doctor for some advice/help. Good luck on your health journey!

I also think you look like you're at a good size, but I can understand that whenever your body changes it can be jarring. You probably want to make healthier choices that are sustainable, so start small! I'd also focus on nutrition first: that's 80% of fitness and what's the point of working out when your body won't perform properly because you're not fueling it correctly? I would identify any food problems first, and make small changes to them one at a time. Are your portions too large? Eating off of a smaller plate can help with that. Are you drinking a ton of your calories? Be conscientious of that and try to limit your intake. Do you snack on a lot of chips? Replace that with something like popcorn; it's also crunchy and a tiny bit of salt is ok, but popcorn has less fat and calories. Good luck on your health journey, and I'm happy to be a health/fitness buddy because there are ways I also can improve, so feel free to DM me!

I’m in the same boat as you! I’m scared to gain anymore weight. I’m almost 5’3 and about 160 (haven’t weighed myself in a while) also the biggest
