Ladies...a weight question.

Question

I am 5'1" and I weight 160 pounds.

I know I'll never be stick thin or really have a white girl body. I've always had plump thighs, a small waist, big hips, and big-ish calves.

I am not happy with being this heavy. Would you be? If yes, why? If not, what would do you about it? I'm really looking to lose some weight,

I'm just going to be straight up with you. I wouldn't be happy, but that's me, and I know girls whoprobably wouldn't mind looking that that. I have a lot of insecurity problems though. If you're looking to lose a little weight cut all soda and sugar drinks out of your daily diet and only drink water. My cousin lost almost thirty pounds doing this. Try to cut out some fast food. You don't even have to give it up totally. If you drink- stop. You'll feel way better. Another thing tat I think you will like- SHOP! Haha. I was nervous about gaining weight when I went to college, but I go to the mall every Friday, and walk around alot. It's amazing what the slightest changes in your everyday life can do. I'm white with a tiny waist, hips, a butt, boobs, and calves. I'm 5'2 and I weigh 120. I used to weigh 140, but I got the 20 off. I feel a lot better about myself than I used to, but I'm still trying to improve my shape cause I ain't got NO muscle. Try this out for a while, and see what it does for you. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions. The end result may be that you have lost more inches than pounds, but as long as you feelgood about yourself, it's okay, and if you're healthy- you're fine.

Different people carry weight differently 160 may look better on you then being rail thin would. Use your own discretion, if you want to loose a few lbs then put your mind to it, but not because someone say to do it, do it for yourself. I know a woman who at was 165 and 5"8 and she looked anorexic just because of her body type she was very muscular and everyone kept telling her she was too skinny. Remember muscle weighs more then fat does with the thick calf's I would say you probably tend to have more muscle mass then the average woman does, so 160 may not look too bad on you. I guess if you are not happy with your weight it's up to you to do something about it. Everyone assumes you over eat and pig out on junk food well that may not be the case, if it is well they are right if you cut the fat & sugar in take you will se a difference. If you are in the other category where your metabolism is just very sluggish you will need to introduce some sort of activity into your daily routine even if it starts as simply as taking the stairs or playing in the park with kid you bb sit or walking a dog. I mentioned those things because the easiest things to stick to are the ones you enjoy doing.

I am 5'4" and 180 lbs. So with the height difference and extra weight we are probably about the same in terms of proportions. I admit sometimes when I see a skinny girl flaunting her bikini-perfect body I feel bad about my looks, but I've learned that the guys that are worth having out there like the way I look! Most guys I know prefer a healthy, meaty girl. I only know one that likes skeletons. I guess that's just his preference and that's fine. So for the most part I am happy the way I am. I exercise and try to eat right and if I lose weight that's great and if not that's fine too.

I'm 5'4 and 138 lbs. I'm not happy with it, but it's not the weight that bugs me so much as not being toned enough, however I'm a perfectionist and very very tough on myself. I play a lot of sport but haven't for a long time due to injury. I'm looking to get into kickboxing or something. By the sounds of it you have a hourglass figure, which is hot! Are you wanting to actually lose weight, or would it be better to maybe just tone up? If you wanna kill two birds with one stone why don't you try going for a regular walk, or try doing stair work, but to me it sounds like you just need to look at what you have--some killer curves? and work it girl :)

I have a cousin that sounds to be about your (almost) exact body type...yet she's dated before, and I haven't (not that I'm skinny or anything, but I'm skinnier...about 5'6" and 155-160). Personally, I don't see anything wrong with being bigger; it's all about thinking positively about yourself (which I'm horrible at). But if you eat healthily and exercise, that's all you really need to do.

ivarei · Answer

less sugar.  take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator.  park your car further from the store and walk.  eat grilled food instead of fried.

I mean no offense here, but no one should be happy with that weight.  You're obese.  Attractiveness aside, it's bad for your health.

What is a "white girl body"?  I didn't realize we all shared the same body.

Honestly I would not be happy with that weight...but then again I have anorexia. So there you go.
