What should my goal weight be?

[Anonymous]

I'm 15, 5'5", and I weigh 159 lbs. I've been eating healthier and exercising to lose weight, so what should my goal be? I'm thinking 115... Is that too little a number?

You should ask your doctor. Getting to 115 from 159 takes a couple of years if you do it healthily. It also helps maintain the weight more. I typically weigh on 115 at 5'5", but that's because I lost the weight over years after I was done growing. At 15, you're more likely to stunt your growth and cause damage if you lose weight the wrong way.

Thinks its at the low side. I am the same height and my weight is 134 lbs and this gives a BMI almost in the middle. But its more important to focuss on muscle/fat ratio. You can be lean and have a lot fat, or heavy, but have a lot of muscle. The latter is healthier than the first.

Depends on your body shape. I'm on the slimmer side, and I'm 5'7" and 121. I think for you 115 could be right if you also have a slim build.

115 isn't realistic right now

You should aim for 145 by end of summer

I'm 5'6 and 108 lbs so 115 is not too little. You can go 100 lbs
