Fitness Geeks of GaG, How Much do you Think I Should Weigh?

[KittieCat]

Alright, so I'm having a debate about this with my boyfriend and I need some outside opinions.
I'm 5ft, very wide frame, I have a lot of muscle (similar bulk to a guy), large breasts (mostly breast tissue), and a very thick lower half because of my muscle. If it helps my measurements are:
Bust- 44"
Chest- 33"
Waist- 28'
Hip- 48"
Thigh- 24ish" (Not sure about that)
Body Fat % - Doctor said it was around 24%,
So, how much should I ideally weigh? Thank guys

[Errhh]

Ideally maybe 119 or so... Maybe 124
But Anywhere from 94 to 130 ... Would seem ok for your height..
Depends on how muscular you are.. Muscle is heavier than fat..

Anyway!!
94 being on the boarder of too thin but still ok and healthy... And
130 being on the heavier side.. Looking chunky but passable considering your waist is lower than 30' .. but you would need to be careful considering your age IF you are close to this weight.. because as you age you'll most likely gain weight and it will be harder to lose it as you get older.

Based on the given information: I'll guess that you're most likely considered overweight.. Close to 140 to 150 pounds? I'm just guessing here from the measurements you gave.

Even if it's muscle though, if you are between 140 and 150 you should lose weight regardless of all else. Unless you're a body builder... Which I doubt at your age.. This weight range is not healthy for your height at all.

[KittieCat]

Normally I float between 138-143. Doctors say I'm healthy and fine, just curious as to what number others would put on the matter :)

[Errhh]

Ok... But just some advice... That's basically the borderline.. And maybe even beyond it, even if 'doctors' classify it as "healthy" today... I'd still lose weight if I were you... Simply based on your age and height... You don't want to be facing harder times in the near future just in case... It's far easier now than later. 😁!! But if you don't care, then who cares, ignore this.. 😖!! 😜!!

[KittieCat]

I'd lose weight if I could (I have a condition that prevents me from losing more healthy at my current weight). So they just said be happy, thank you though! :)

[Errhh]

Ohhhhh there must be someway around it!! Well anyway! In that case just keep an active life style as you grow older cause majority of humans gain weight especially early and mid 20's and they don't even realize it until they look twice the size they were in HS !! And it's like "! oh noes!" 😱!!

Stay healthy yw!!

Most 5ft girls should weight 100# of they want to be skinny. Athletic 5ft girls usually weight 120#. But these are two different things. Weight loss is a product of eating less. Strength is a product of replacing fat mass with muscle mass. Either way don't listen to anyone who tells you to be proud of whatever your body looks like. Being fat leads to many health issues and will handicap your life.

[KittieCat]

Less eating doesn't exactly equal weight loss, isn't that black and white unfortunately. Anyways when multiple doctors say I'm healthy and should be proud (as they do now) I think I'll listen.

[Chromekids]

Then there is nothing I can tell you. Eating less to lose weight is basic physics. A gallon of water can't become two without more water. It also can't become 12oz of you keep pour in the water. When I was a boxer we would work like crazy and eat an apple for the days meal just to make weight. I don't know why you're seeing multiple doctors but I'm sure they are caring for your mental health as well as physical health. Unless your grossly obese with diabetes they health issues I'm talking about won't should up until you're in you thirties. Your joints will hurt due to decades of extra weight, your fatigue will drain you due to high cholesterol, and you metabolism with take a shit. Any extra fat you have will triple. But you're young and probably can't imagine that yet.

[ryanfyfe]

Whatever makes you happy. Look in the mirror, if you're happy with what you see, thats the weight you should weigh.

[KittieCat]

Aww that's where I'm at now (I look healthy and am healthy) but the number haha

[KittieCat]

hate the number*

[ryanfyfe]

Just a number. I'm a dude, I started gym at 38kg at 21, by 24 I reached 83kg and was OBSESSED with what the scales said. I've literally avoided stepping on scales for the past two years and aim for one goal, looking good in the mirror. Imwould be stoked to weigh 83kg and look dope but inevitably I'm happier with my physique and muscle size now and I recently weighed in after 2 years at 64kg and look and feel great!!

It's not the number, it's not whether you like the number. Ignore the number, pretend scales don't exist and aim for what you look at and think "fuck yeah, im a dominating bitch!"

[KittieCat]

Awesome, thanks for your experience. I'll definitely reflect that into my life :)

[Tarnygosh]

10 stone. I'm bust 34, waist 27 and hips 40. And a little taller than you. But the number on the scale is not always representative of ideal body. Like I can tell you have a flat or small stomach so your waist to hip ratio is great

[KittieCat]

Thank you! :)

[Xfitchick]

Ideally your weigth should be 52 kg. But if you are muscular and wide framed, there is no reason why anything between 52 and 60 kg should be bad, certainly not with 24% body fat. I am 1.65m and weigh 61 kg, but are below 20% fat.

[KittieCat]

Yeah I've been workin on it, I have a condition that makes it difficult though. That's fine though haha thank you!

[Xfitchick]

You didn't tell your exact weight, so cannot judge. Neither a pic to judge. You have massive thighs. If its muscle, nothing to worry about.

[KittieCat]

They are muscle

[Xfitchick]

That's OK then (at least for me :-) )

[HonestWhiteGuy]

5 foot is not very tall, Id say you dont want to go over 140 pounds its hard to say without a pic but maybe aim for that then see how you feel from there?

[Tanuron]

Strange to have an debate with your boyfriend about something like that, but either way. I think u should weigh what you are weighing

[Jxpxtxr]

Around 100lbs I'd say but it's very hard to judge without pictures :P a body fat % of 24 isn't bad for women but I think around 20% would be ideal.

[ManOnFire]

You sound perfect to me.

[KittieCat]

Thanks!

[Anonymous]

Anything under 90 is unhealthy and over 135 completely unhealthy for your height for sure.
About 105-125 should be your target.

[Mustachekitteh]

Between 95 pounds to 120.

[KittieCat]

I wish lol, I'd have such a low body fat %

[Mustachekitteh]

Best to have a body fat % between 18-20.

[KittieCat]

Yeah, it'd be around 13-15 at that weight for me

[Mustachekitteh]

Then yeah don't focus on weight and more about body fat %.

[Cmasterson]

I would say around 130-138 perhaps.

[Cmasterson]

Either way like you said you have a wide frame and a lot of muscle, but it is possible to get your body fat down more.

[KittieCat]

Awesome, thanks!

[Anonymous]

[KittieCat]

[Opinion Owner]
