How much more weight do you think I should get off??

Question

I'm 5'5 and was almost 155 lbs. I've worked to lose weight the past few weeks and am down to 145 lbs.

I know that I can easily work out and control my eating habits to maintain any weight, but how much more do you think I should try to lose before I am satisfied and want to maintain a weight??

Answer 1

6 pounds

Answer 2

The ideal weight for a person who is 5'5 is from 120 - 135 lbs. But this is just for the average person - everyones different. Once your happy with your self then your perfect!

Answer 4

about 30 lbs

Answer 5

I'd say 20 pounds and you'll LOVE your body -

It depends on whether you want to be skinny, average, or heavy.

125 is the absolute average for a female who is 5'5"

115-120, you'd look skinny.

150, would be heavy.

Answer 6

Rather than have a target number plan a healthy diet and regular moderate exercise.  If you do not lose anything alter the diet and/or exercise until you slowly lose weight but you still feel good.  After a few months you should reach a plateau. If you are healthy and feel good about yourself let that be your weight.  Keep track of your weight and if you start to gain make a small adjustment. I started at 225 and over a period of years have reached 155 which really feels good and is easy to maintain.  for example if I had tried to reach 155 in 90 days I would have struggled and felt bad and probably have some health problems. This way my only problem was getting new clothes about once a year....  going from a 44 inch waist to a 36 inch waist (actually closer to 35 inch)  If you are young and still growing you might have to make some other adjustments.  If you reach 5'7" you will need a few more pounds.

Answer 7

I am also 5'5. I went to the doctor one time 3 years ago and stepped on the scale and weighed 162 lbs. After that I started counting calories and exercising more. I got all the way down to 117 lbs but I had to agree with everyone around me that I looked too skinny at that weight. I am now fluctuating between 126-128. I liked the way I looked the best around 125. However it all depends on your bone structure and frame size as to what will look best on you. I would say I am small to medium frame. Most importantly dont worry so much with a number or what other people think. You should stop at a point where you feel good about yourself and where you feel like you look and feel your best. Good Luck.

Answer 8

How do YOU feel with that weight and how you look? I don't think you need to lose much more than 5 pounds.
