My parents told me that I do not need to lose any weight but I want to, should I listen to them or should I lose weight?

[Hopefullyme_]

My bmi is 22.5 i weigh 119 pounds and i am 5’1 but my goal is to weigh from 100-110 pounds. I am aware that i have zero muscle what so ever lol. And My parents and family tell me that i am already skinny but i never believe them and i’m still trying. What do you think should i lose weight? If you want to could you tell me how much?

Listen to them

Lose weight

You're in a catch 22 situation from what I can tell. Your body weight isn't a lot but the body fat amount you're storing is. Your situation is tricky you shouldn't diet what you should do is switch the foods you eat. Eat more proteins and fats and cut down on the carbs and get rid of the sugar and soda and drinks/beverages that have sugar in them and get rid of the junk food like chips crackers cereals chocolates. Your situation isntva matter of losing weight it's a matter of getting rid of the extra fat deposits. To much fat build up can lead to heart issues high blood pressure diabetes cardiovascular disease and etc. Just walk more take up a sport try to keep as active as possible but don't go crazy about it. Keep a positive mind frame and love yourself for you when you feel better about yourself you'll start to look good and want to physically be better and that in return will give you more confidence to want to look better. It's all a cycle. How you feel about yourself will dictate how you look

[RobLovesDemi1234]

And don't forget portion size as well

[RobLovesDemi1234]

It's a matter of building muscle and getting toned and adding definition not a matter of losing weight in your case

[Jayeldubya]

You do not need to lose weight. Instead, go for a body recomposition, it'll be effective for you since you are a novice. Just find out how much calories you need to maintain your body weight. Then eat about 500 calories less than that a day. You will want to start lifting heavy with compound lifts, the main ones such as bench, squat, deadlift, overhead press and bent-over rows. There are other lists you can do but those main ones Will help you build a maintain muscle. You will want to eat 1 gram per pound of body weight of protein to maintain your muscle growth.
When you eat at a slight calorie deficit such as that and lift heavy and maintain your protein intake, you will lose fat and maintain your muscle mass. And even be able to gain some muscle since you are a beginner and beginners gain muscle pretty quickly. A good rule of thumb is if you're losing about a pound of week then you are losing just enough to lose fat and not your hard-earned muscle.

The way I see it is this

If you continue your life like this for another 4-10 years - how much will you weigh?

The best way to know if a lifestyle or action is good or evil is to think about how it will affect you 5 or 10 or 40 years down the road

You aren't ugly - you look great - but would you be comfortable gaining 5 pounds a year every year for the next 20 years of your life?

[laurieluvsit]

Scroll down to the see the chart...

If the weight you want to go down to is within the "normal" weight, than just show it to your parents and promise them that you won't go under the normal weight.

Going for less could cause serious health issues.

[MORPHEUS_12]

I say lose as much weight as you want to but remember that your period my stop if you loose too much body fat.

[caitycat21]

If you’re reallt bmi 22 losing weight really won’t give you the changes you want. You’re storing way too much fat, you need to change your diet and start exercising more. Weightloss will make your frame smaller but it won’t change your body.


Eat high protein/high fiber/reduce your added sugar intake to the reccomended 20-25g daily and stay consistent for a few months

[1990_guy]

you look like you are in a healthy weight range. So you don't NEED to lose weight.
But you are also carrying some spare fat, so if you wanted to get slimmer you can safely do it while staying healthy. So basically its just a personal choice for you.

[TripleAce]

Latina again 😂 Haha how come we always know lol

Its fine, stop worrying about the pictures. Just go train for 2 years then ask. Nothing changes from the last time you asked lol

[skibiditori]

oh my gosh girl!!! i think losing weight and toning could help your health and appearance as well as confidence. but please be careful on the internet here and also don't take nude photos of yourself. if you're an adult, do what you want, but you said you live with your parents so i'm assuming you're a minor. please be careful on here. whether you choose to lose weight or not, take care.

[skibiditori]

wait i just made that up somehow. you never even said you live with your parents in this at all lolll. my bad but still if you are a minor, please don't post pics like this. coming from a woman, there's creeps everywhere.

[momwithaquestion]

There is no way you weigh 119 pounds!! I don't say that to be rude but maybe you should try checking your scale and see whats up! This will give you a better mindset of what you should loose.

[Faerthurin]

You look pretty healthy! I think you look great as you are now, but if you really wanted to lose a little weight (you really don't need to) that would be fine as well!

[Bluebot]

Is say loose some weight and then go into the definition stage. Maybe add some muscle to the back so your form looks more sporty.

I’d say 5-10pounds and then definition 👍🏼

[NicolaJ35]

You're certainly not ugly

Don't think you need to lose weight either to be honest

All you need to do is tone up a bit in the stomach area and that should do it

[nerms123]

You don’t need to “lose weight “ you just need to work out which will make you look smaller and tighter. Don’t diet or you’ll get saggy.

[Thatsamazing]

You do whatever you want to. If you want to get fitter and lose some fat, then do it. If you don't, then don't. Don't let what someone else says hold you back, girl.

[AaronKrieger]

Whether you lose weight or not you'll look good still and be fine.

[d3n0939]

I am sorry to tell this: are you having any kind of mental illness to post pics like these online

[buttcrackjoe]

You dont have much fat nothing worth changing really, obviously strength training will give you more tone along with losing some additional fat.

[Kit_Kat88]

Lose weight in the lower stomach area and start doing strength training.

[hellacray]

I don't think you really need to.

But you can try going to the gym to get more toned.

[IreallyhateGAG]

You blocked out all the good stuff I can't take it serious with parts of it scribbled out

[MysteriousDarkness]

You look wonderful. You could tone up your body by working out with weights.

[Gedaria]

It's not a problem, you are not over weight, but I would keep an eye on it..

[AdmiralBailey]

I suggest you lose 10-15 pounds simply for aesthetics

I can't tell if your an actual girl and i feel SuS for answering this

[Justsmile_]

How can you not tell that she's a girl lol it's so obvious

[Fuentes]

@Justsmile_ no it's not sometimes you can be tricked and not even know today is a new era

[Justsmile_]

Well she is covering her boobs a guy wouldn't do that and if she had surgery on her body her body would be way better lol.

[Justsmile_]

No offense

[Justsmile_]

Why would you think that she's a guy? Is their something masculine about her?

[Justsmile_]

What if she's a girl and you offended her or made her feel bad you know

[Justsmile_]

Another sign is cellulite guys don't get that so she's definitely a girl

[Fuentes]

@Justsmile_ when "she" shows her backside i can't see long enough hair, maybe it's just short & the neck from the front and sternum just reminded me of a dude i might be trippin but who knows these days

[Justsmile_]

Lol have u ever heard of buns or up dos she probably had that either that or a pixie cut

[Justsmile_]

She's obviously not a guy😂 her waist is kind of defined and the cellulite is something guys never have only women because women have 3 layers of fat in their bodies and guys only have one

[Justsmile_]

And her body is pear shaped guy's don't have pear shaped bodies

[Fuentes]

@Justsmile_ that doesn't tell me anything i can barely see, most girls aren't this confident to take body photos like this especially online so how am. i suppose to know its a real girl if anything i would need proof

[Justsmile_]

Lol slick

[Fuentes]

@Justsmile_ better safe then sorry lol

[Justsmile_]

a lot of girls post pictures of their body on here and sometimes guys too

[Fuentes]

@Justsmile_ haven't noticed with their shirts completely off

[Justsmile_]

Maybe she did it for a Better back view because tight bras might make the back or torso appear fatter or shorter

[Fuentes]

@Justsmile_ true I don't know internet has changed

[oriusorukulus]

You really have a bit to much bodyfat in my opinion. You would be much more sexy with abou 10-15 lbs less.

[sara3333]

I think you look really good already! But ofc, if you yourself want to lose weight, it is your decision.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

You look great and i would not worry :)

[Iron_Man]

Lose 7 or 10 pounds to cut up if you want

[bigdaddybilly]

Why'd you black out your tits

[Holy_Ghost_Fire]

Lose weight because it's better for your health.

[PatricAlmond]

Lol... you are fat bby.

[Justsmile_]

Just do what makes you happy

[jjj101010]

U don’t look like u need to lose anything

[jjj101010]

Look good to me
