Is a size 11 <span title="big??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????">big??????????????????????...</span>

Question

I'm at a crossroads with myself, and it does not help that my dad made comments about my weight, and my mom finally said I need to lose five pounds. I am laying off the junk food, and I go back and forth about whether to go on a diet or not. I take birth control, a multivitamin, and also am on celexa for PMDD, but I was this weight before taking the Celexa... and the birth control did not add to my weight because I have been taking it since 2006. I am 5"4'' 1/2 in tall, and my weight fluctuated between 155, 157. Though for years I was a size 7, weight a little above 125. Now I'm 23, just married, and wear a size 11...am I overweight?

Here is some pictures:

From 2006

So, please tell me honestly... should I lose some????????????????????????????????????...

Answer 1

You are slightly overweight with a BMI of 26 ideally this number should be 20-24. Drop 10-15 pounds and you&#039;ll be in the healthy range. You aren&#039;t too far overweight it&#039;s nothing to be very worried about. Just don&#039;t let your weight get out of control and try to get a little more exercise. Drink more water and eat your breakfast!! And never ever eat until you feel full. Also don&#039;t eat constantly just eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Some days allow yourself a snack but not every day. Try not to exceed 1600 calories per day.

Answer 2

According to the BMI Index, you are only slightly overweight. But if you are happy with your body, think you look great, and are healthy, don&#039;t let other people make you insecure about yourself. You look great!
