Please help me?

[Anonymous]

I've gained so much weight, I'm 5'4 and weigh 120 pounds, I usually weight 113 but I've started going up these past few weeks but I've got my breaking point. I'm becoming fucking obese. Please help me lose weight, I don't know where to start.

Instead of focussing on weight, focus on muscle/fat ratio. For your height a weight of 130 pounds is very normal and still healthy if your fat level is at 25% or even below. If you are in a gym, have it measured there. They have special scales for it.

What do the scales look like versus regular scales? I go to the gym at the YMCA and I don't think I've ever seen one. Although I'm not good with this kind of stuff so maybe I've just over looked it

[Xfitchick]

They send a current through your body and measure the resistance. Water, muscle and fat all have different conductivities.

That's considered perfect wait calm down!!! 113 is actually underweight. Just eat healthy and exercise. Your fine

[Asker]

I try to eat healthy but food is so expensive I usually just get quick cheap stuff especially with being in college money is really tight. I run and swim lot but I can't do it every day because of work and classes

Don't stress about it. You have a healthy weight

5'4 and 120 is not a high weight. The fact you are calling yourself obese is a bit troubling, it sounds like you have poor body image. Have you spoken to anybody about this?

[Asker]

No, my boyfriend knows but someone knowing and trying to help doesn't change the way you see yourself.

You skinny 120 pounds is consider as light weight

[Asker]

But my genetics make me naturally smaller than someone who isn't. So this is abnormal for me, I don't think I've ever weighed this much.

? EAT SOME FOOD GIRL

[Asker]

I eat way to much, I eat about 4 meals a day. They're normal size as well.

[SmokemJay]

At 5' 4" you're probably a little under average at 113. 130 sounds healthier... I pulled up the stats

Height Average Overweight
5' 4" 110 to 144 lbs. 145 to 173 lbs.
you should be worried if you make it to over weight...

[Asker]

Mkay, thanks you :)
