Should I lose weight? Also what would my body type be considered?

[Anonymous]

I’m 5’6, 160 lbs, and my measurements are 36-29-42, I’m 18

Too fat

Not curvy enough

Good

✅ your BMI is 25.7, which falls into the overweight range.


⚠️ Note: BMI doesn’t account for muscle vs. fat. Someone muscular can have a high BMI but low body fat.


2. Body Measurements and Type


Your measurements: 36-29-42 (bust-waist-hips).
*Waist-to-hip ratio = 29 ÷ 42 ≈ 0.69 = considered healthy and curvy.
*With these proportions, your body shape would likely be classified as “pear-shaped” (wider hips than bust).
*you have a naturally curvy figure.


3. Should you lose weight?
*your BMI suggests slightly overweight, but your body fat distribution (waist-to-hip ratio) is healthy.
*At 18 years old, focusing on overall health, fitness, and strength is more important than just the scale.
*Losing weight is only necessary if you feel discomfort, have health risks, or desires a change for personal reasons. Otherwise, your body seems healthy and curvy naturally.

Tysm for ur insight!

Seriously, you are asking men on here about your weight?

Talking about asking for a lot of crap thrown in your face.

[Asker]

Yessss

[shortster]

Your hips are a little wide; but considering your waist that might just be bone structure. When standing if you poke your ass does it pop back into place or jiggle back?

[bowenw]

It sounds like you are an hourglass. You could be slightly overweight for your height. Ask your doctor about it.

[Arcadian222]

Weight is fine for height.

Measurements hint that you have a bigger and fuller bottom. Hit gym for a little toning if you feel like it.

[EmmaMary]

So you're 18 going on (25-29) then? lol

[Asker]

I signed up with the wrong age bc at the time I was underage and I don't know how to fix it

[BarryLiverstone]

Thought you are at least 25?

[Asker]

I made an error when signing up bc at the time I was too young so I kicked a random age but now I’m exactly 18 and I don't know how to change it

[BarryLiverstone]

You can ask the admins

[BarryLiverstone]

Do you want to lose weight?

[Asker]

Im not sure if i should or not. I don’t have a clear and positive image of my body so id like to see how others perceive it

[BarryLiverstone]

I can understand how you have lived in your own body for years and as it changes you tend to have positive or negative thoughts. As a stranger I would only be able to give feedback for how you look today and what I see. Wouldn’t know you 1 year ago or other parts

[BarryLiverstone]

But why don’t you think positively?

[Asker]

I don't know I’m just very insecure and want to be attractive enough

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s normal. I think most people want to feel attractive and they often compare themselves to what they see as desirable

[Asker]

Yeaaa I do that a lot.

[BarryLiverstone]

Right, so many people do that and they feel insecure. But they get scared to admit it to others

Pilisa M matches your body measurements: www.everythingformals.com/.../

[BarryLiverstone]

What is her body type?

[Asker]

I’m not sure Im honestly rlly bad at telling peoples body types and I don’t judge others off of it I’m just worrisome about mine bc ik other people like to judge off of that. I do think she’s very pretty!

[BarryLiverstone]

You are seeing her for the first time and you think she’s pretty. Doesn’t that mean if you have her body you could also be seen as pretty by others?

[Asker]

Yea but I feel like others r more judgmental or picky than me

[BarryLiverstone]

Certainly people can be picky and others may not be honest with their feedback. I think in society lots of people will lie to “be nice” to others

[BarryLiverstone]

But I can’t see you. So could only see that model with your measurements to try and help answer your question

[Asker]

I know. Id have to see what others think of her to get an idea of how they’d think of me

[BarryLiverstone]

I bet she would tell you she has her own insecurities too

[BarryLiverstone]

It’s easier for the guys to see her. Guys are more visual so they can give you feedback based on seeing her pics. If you just list your sizes that’s harder for a guy to process tbh

[Asker]

Okay

[cavedweller1973]

You sound just right to me
