You could, but it is hard to know without actually seeing you in person.
I think if you want to get a better idea, get your body fat percentage tested. Many gyms do this, and it's a great tool.
The great thing about getting a body fat% (fold test) test done, is that you can tell how much muscle vs fat that you have.
I always thought I was in decent shape until I got mine done and found out I was 29% body fat, which is healthy, but not where I want to be. Then I decided to change my goals, eat much better than I was and push harder in the gym.
If you go this route, it become less about the number on the scale, and more about overall health and physical fitness,
I do suggest weighing yourself on a regular basis. If you can weigh yourself every day and not let it determine your mood then go for it. Weight fluctuates every day, but it gives you a sense of accountability. Chances are you won't scarf down a huge chili dog if you know you gotta face the scale tomorrow ;).
Honestly, I don't think that you need to lose weight, there's nothing wrong with being
148 lbs! I'm probably around the same height as you and I weight 144 lbs and I may
have even gained a couple, who knows! But, everybody tells me I look good and I
might not always believe it, but I know I don't look as bad as I think I do and maybe
it's the same for you!
All I can tell you is, if it bothers you and you feel you need to lose weigh, then
do it for you! Not to get a boyfriend and not because you think you should! Do
it for you, if in your heart you feel you'd be happier and maybe healthier, then
do, but for you not for anyone else okay!
I hope I helped you somehow, have a good night, sweetheart! : )
I am 5'7 and on a bad day I'm 158. Don't worry! we are all built different, you gotta be confident in the body you were given. If you want to tone up a little then do it but don't because of what a scale says. I for one have always had people be shocked when they find out how much I really weigh. Weight tends to build up in the most random places. I was like you and thought I would lose some weigh hoping to tone my legs but instead I lost fat from my butt and now my pants don't fit :( so be happy ;) and confident!
I wouldn't necessarily say you have to lose more weight. I mean you are 5'6". The question is if the weight is from muscle. Muscle is more dense. If you are a solid 148 worth of muscle then you might be OK. If not and still want to lose the weight, I would try coming down to a healthy 130. At 5'6" anything less than 125 might be a little too skinny unless you want to be even skinnier.
Focus on a lot of cardio, eating right (protein based foods, veggies, fruits and some starch) and drinking a lot of water. Also when you lift weights do a lot of high reps low weight movements. This will help you sculpt your body and still give you some shape instead of being a complete stick, lol.

Personally, I think that's fine.

No. Your body is probably not to blame. It is probably that you are too self conscious and don't let yourself see the ones who do find you attractive.
Your weight, to me, seems fine.
You do notice that most of the guys who've answered this are in agreement, right? Guys don't typically judge as harshly as girls do, at least in my personal experience...
I think that I'm huuuuuuge, but my boyfriend is adamant that I'm not.
I'm 5'6 115lbs naturally but look nice and fit. I think my weight is great and I have a bubble butt, only a b cup though(32b-25-35) If your body isn't small boned like me than 115lbs might not look good. I'm happy where I am but I'd never want to be more than 125. It's all about what you are comfortable with.
I think your best bet is to post a picture.
because none of us knows where that fat is divided. It could be in your boobs or butt, or some of it could be muscle.
Yes, you should.
Around 125 pounds is a good weight for your height.
I think 148 for your height is fine. But it also depends on your body shape. You would know better if there are any specific areas of your body you want to cut down on.
Your body is not to blame.
Your self-doubt probably is. Especially if it makes you shy.
hell no! your normal weight is nothing to be ashamed of.
Sounds heavy but depends on muscle level.
Waist/hip measurements would tell more. Or a photo.
Don't worry about weight so much as being fit.
If you live in unhealthy lifestyle that is something you need to change. The weight will follow.
yeah, its on the low end of overweight. 135-140 would be great,
Might wanna lose a little weight.
depends, is it mostly muscle or fat?
Can get a pic?
