Do I seriously need to consider losing some weight?

[Anonymous]

So I am 5'4" and I'm 145lbs

I know I'm far from super skinny and I'm quite chubby.

Tbh what I really need is people to be as blunt and honest as possible in answering this. I need a 100% kick up the backside and reality check so I can get towards losing a lot of weight... I've tried dieting, increasing exercise and I know they do work if done right I guess I'm just not motivated enough. negative comments weirdly motivate me to change/do well so I'm resorting to this. sad. I know.

It honestly depends on how you carry the weight and how you look in the mirror. 2 140lb girls can look totally different. I'm sure you've heard of girls wanting sexier legs or a flatter stomach. These are areas that can be targeted.

As for dieting + exercise. Find out how many calories you're taking in and how many calories are burnt during exercise. This way you can track your progress.

Well, according to BMI, you are of normal weight for your height, though you're just on the border with being overweight. BMI is flawed though, because it doesn't take into account fat or muscle.

Ultimately, you should ask a doctor.

However, pics would help.

Good answer. Thanks.

everyone carries weight differently, so best way to know if you should lose some weight is to measure your waist. if it is a higher number than half your height in inches then you should try to lose a bit just so you're at a more healthy level. weight is just a guideline, but it doesn't explain your health.

Try FLABELOS.. I used it and it is really good. I didn't lose any weight however I toned up a lot and my cellulite disappeared in just 2 months!

It makes a big difference and it doesn't require any diet or strenuous exercise.. Just 10 minutes 3 times a week standing on a vibrating board.

i think so. I think a good goal is 125. just try to find types of activities that interest you. I had a gym membership for like two months before I got sick of going there. I just get exercise from hiking, going for walks, bike riding. try finding a nice park or something to walk around every day.

Yes

You should probably lose about 15 lbs at a minimum through diet and healthy eating

[Asker]

yep that's what I was thinking 15-20lbs should do it. Thanks.

Don't get down on yourself. Skip the carbs... drink lots of water, use protein, vegetables and fruit as much as possible. Cut the Internet time down a bit and go for a moderate to long walk every day.

I'm 5'4 and am 108 lbs. I guess we're supposed to be 120 or so...so aim for that. :)

[Asker]

Cool and Yeah 120... I think that's about right. Thank you for the answer!

[MichaelAshford22]

Yes you could probably benefit from losing a little, although its hard to judge without a picture, good luck either way :)

[Asker]

Thank you!

I think your OK but for your age it might be good to loose 10-15 pounds.

[Anonymous]

i think being around 120-130 pounds would be more ideal

[Asker]

yep, agreed. thanks

[Opinion Owner]

just try to find a fun way to exercise so you can keep with it like rollerblading or something like that

Nearly impossible to judge without a picture.

Due to bodyshapes being various, 145lbs can look differently on different people that are 5'4.
