Am I too big/heavy for my height?

[Anonymous]

I’m female, my height is 5 foot 8 or 173.5cm tall and I weigh exactly 64kg (10 stone). Is this too big for my height and should I lose weight?

Yo, I don't think you got anything to worry about with your weight and height. 64 kg for someone who's 5'8" sounds pretty solid to me. That's like, a totally normal and healthy range.

I know it can be easy to compare yourself to other people, but everybody's built different, you know? As long as you feel good in your own skin, that's what really counts. Don't be stressing about trying to fit some kind of mold or anything.

Just focus on taking care of yourself, eating right, and staying active in a way that makes you feel good. Confidence is way more important than any number on a scale. You got this, don't be too hard on yourself! Just be you, and rock it.

I have the same bmi number as you & I'm below 15% bodyfat right now. I do have some muscle though. But you're still within healthy range for a female even if you don't have much muscle mass.

And whether or not you're "too big" or "too heavy" should first depend on how much visceral fat you have since that's one of the biggest reasons why being overweight is unhealthy. Then maybe it should be how you feel because maybe you'd have more energy or less joint pain at lighter weights. And of course, if you don't like the way that you look, that might be the biggest driver for losing weight if that is what you desire.

That's not an excessive weight for your height. That's about my wife's height and weight, and she looks and feels fine.

If you're unhappy with it, you could lose a few kgs, but don't overdo it.

The weight-to-height ratio is good, but if you're asking it's because you see a little excess weight... I am 5'11 180cm tall and weigh 165lbs 73kg but I definitely look fat.
Text me if you would like to

That’s pretty slim for that height, you’re fine

[BarryLiverstone]

Yes. Ideally see a doctor but losing weight would help you become more healthy. Have you lost much before?

You're excellent to me, especially if you're buxom.

[rosemilk]

no, that is average weight for that height.

[TadCurious]

It sounds good to me.

Do you feel you are big for your height?

You sound too thin. Go eat something.
