I'm 161 atm (lost 39 pounds this year so far) and I want to know what YOU think is the perfect weight. My family says 140, I say 110-120.

Who even cares? If you're skinny you're skinny, if you're fat you're fat.

Probably 130-135.
Me and you are probably the same weight (maybe 10 pounds less) and I'm 5'3.

idk i'm 5'5/5'6 and ~120 lbs (I like to be slightly under this though) sooo maybe around 110-120 like you said? but everyone's bodies are different and you shouldn't be asking random strangers what's right for YOUR body.

according to the bmi chart I found the optimal weight at 5'4 is 120-140. I would say 100-120 is a little more accurate though given societal norms.

also congrats on losing that much weight. I know how tough it can be.

It depends on your body type

I'm 5'1 my doctor told me my normal weight ranges 120-135.

Also good job OP on losing weight!
Especially with that much. Honestly I don't think I can even imagine doing that for myself tbh.

There is no perfect weight for any height as everyone's body is different. If you were quite big and bulky the weight would be completely different from someone that was of the same height but had no muscle build. Choose whatever you think is the perfect weight and aim for that.

140 sounds like a good goal just keep up whatever your doing until you feel good, you don't necessarily have to look as good as you want too though.

I mean, I guess for a general guideline it isn't terrible.

But a weight problem is really more of a "does your stomach hang out" sorta deal lol. Usually a good sign you're packing on weight you don't need. :p

It's actually better to eat a good amount, keep the metabolism going while working out 5 days a week and you'll be beautiful lol

I think 5'4 is like 162-163 cm, right? Because I know 165 cm = 5'5

I'm about that height and 110-120 feels the most comfortable for me, but 110-130 is pretty much the "ideal" weight

Awesome that you lost so much weight. There is no exact perfect weight, though. As long as you are active and healthy the actual value doesn't really matter.

I think 140 ibs sounds alright. It depends a little on your body figure which weight that suits you best. Don't be too concerned about the number.

cuz that is kinda heavy for a guy 185.62 cm tall, esp based on Asian standards. they like them <80kg.
hunny you're Japanese right? Most Asian girls are around 158 cm I would guess (5'2) but even my thinnest friends are nowhere close to being 35-40 kg. that's not really a healthy weight for a girl 163cm but what do I know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think around 130 is good, kinda depends on your body type though. At 5'6 I've ranged from 132-157, currently hanging out in the middle of those two extremes.

I'd say not to go lower than 115. Maybe 123 just because its a neat looking number and is supposed to be the ideal according to one thing. Just aim for 130 and see how that works out first.

very few people can be at that weight and have it be healthy. That would place her at a BMI of 16.3 which known as failing in the severe underweight range which is beyond the underweight range. Under 17.5 is considered the range people have health problems that those with anorexia have and it is used as to help diagnose anorexia.

I'm the same height, aiming for 127. I liked the way I looked at that weight. But muscle is denser than fat, so I have always been heavier than I look.

@OP it needs to be proportional to your height, for a ~150 cm height i would say 65~70 kg is a good weight.

Nah, not really. I've been 95 lbs recently and my health was quite good. And while I was slim, I wasn't bony at all. Also, you don't know what anorexia is. Bye.

Depends on your body type. Go for the mirror look, rather than numbers. If you look good, you look good. For reference, I'm 6'3 and ~172lbs but I still think I look chubby. The skinnyfat life~

140 sounds good.
130 if you really want to be "skinny".

Just lose as much as you can, but only do it for yourself not to fit in or because someone told you.
