Weight problem :[

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'4" and 136lbs. Am I fat? I see skinny girls everywhere and I often get depressed/pressured :[

How can I lose weight? I was hoping to lose around 20lbs..

You definitely don't sound fat. For your bmi you fall into the normal weight range, which is ideal. So don't stress about your weight. Just exercise and eat healthy. Eating healthy doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself of the foods you love, just eat those foods in moderation. Moderation is key. And don't ever compare yourself to other girls, you're unique. Guys are also more attracted to curvier/medium sized girls. FACT. So, look at it like that. :)

I would not consider you FAT at all. Maybe there is some weight you want to lose here or there at the most, but I think you're fine. However, if you want to look slimmer and more toned, the best advice I can give you is just EAT LESS and exercise. The most important thing is consistency! Keep it up and you will lose that 20 lbs and feel more comfortable about your body!

You're probably fine. It's kind of hard to know for sure without a picture, but just by going of the BMI, which is admittedly not exactly the most reliable way to measure this sort of thing, you are fine. Losing 20 pounds would make you almost underweight, which is not good.

consider it a life style change...not a diet if you want to lose weight. its 30% exercise 70% what you eat.

I hate when people call it a diet it sounds so temporary. It really is a lifestyle change its funny because I say that to everyone who uses that word "diet" lol

[bryant89]

eat apples :) I don't want to say anything because you don't have a picture but that sounds normal to me

no one can tell if you're fat unless you give us at least your measurements. but I think the term fat is used to describe anyone who's not got a BMI under 19 so in that case, being "fat" isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[here4you]

Yea and if ur an athlete it should be a little more than usual

[micheL0L]

the average reccommended weight for your height is between 118-125, but tbh, anything smaller than 125 in my opinion is just gross. Curves are beautiful. I don't think you're fat at all. I don't think you should lose a pound :)

[ivarei]

Where did you get those numbers?

[ivarei]

I'm just asking because I wanna see what it says for my height and weight.

[micheL0L]

Sorry! I just noticed that you asked right now. I have talked to doctors, and at one point I also found it online. It also has a little to do with body types and such. I was in musical theatre at one point as well and that was what agents have told me weight wise.

[micheL0L]

Oh and for the record...when I said anything below 125 is just gross, I meant on me :P

[clarinetist]

being fat doesn't just involve your height and weight...it also involves the way your body is built...but you don't sound fat to me...

I'm 5'4 and I weigh 117 and even I feel fat so to me yes, that's fat. I want to lose my stomach weight so badly. =( WORK OUT! I'm just being honest.
