Is 160 pounds way too much for a girl to weigh?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5 foot 8, and weigh 160 pounds. Is this way to much? How much do I need to lose to be acceptable?

I don't know, but don't go off thinking it's okay because you're at risk of overweight and you should just watch what you eat because I found that makes a HUGE difference, and work out at the gym! You're fine for now, but before you gain more weight, do it.

Well, it wouldn't hurt for you to lose some weight. You're overweight for your height. Just exercise a little more abd make sure you eat healthy foods.

where'd you get that information? according to her bmi, she's in the normal range. on the high side, but still a healthy weight.

[Butterfly_kisses09]

It depends on her body type and I disagree with the BMI, it's not accurate because it doesn't take account for different body types. If we had a picture we could tell easier how heavy she really is. Someone else with that same height and weight could look totally different. All I said was it wouldn't hurt to lose some weight but ofcourse I don't know what she looks like either.

The BMI is an objective standard whereas you're just going by your subjective personal preference.

[Butterfly_kisses09]

No not really. The BMI doesn't use body types. Everyone with the same weight and height could look different. She would need to post a picture to get accurate answers here. I'm just being honest, but nobody on this site likes honesty. So should I just say "no you're a perfect weight" when I don't know that because she doesn't have a pic? No

[beerY33]

Nope. Not too much. You're in the normal, healthy range.

Not at that height. I'm 69.5 inches and weigh just as much and I'd say I'm in pretty good shape.

[Tentacle_Therapist]

You're still in the healthy range. Maybe like 5 pounds or so, if you're that bothered about it.

It all depends on your body build whether your big boned or not for a small frame 126-139 for medium frame its 136-150 and for big framed its 146-167

not that bad, I've heard of worse.

131-164lbs is your ideal body weight.

How big are your calves?

[Shaun]

This is of critical importance.
