Is being 130 lbs too big?

Question

Ok so I am 160 lbs and my goal weight is 125-130. When I was 130 lbs I felt great and thought I looked pretty d**n good too! I am only 5'1 but then I see all these questions on here where everyone who is 5'1 is like 99-110 lbs. I feel like that is way too small, I mean I think its impossible for me to ever be that small. Is that really what normal weight is for 5'1? Is 130 really that big??♥

Answer 1

125-130 is good medicaly anything over 140 with 5'1" is overweight i think but thats not bad for most girls it all depends on were it located. i dont like super thin girls so 130-140 is good.

Answer 2

It depends on your frame and how much muscle you've got. For you 130lb might be the ideal weight, for someone else 100lb might be ideal. No two people carry their weight the same.

Answer 3

You know, I feel really insecure sometimes because I'm also 5'1 and weigh 135. I am not fat at all! I gained weight, and people were so quick to notice, but they said I had looked better with meat on me. I was too skinny before and didn't look right. lol. I think 130 is perfect for your height! I had also calculated my BMI and it has said for my height that 135 and over was slightly obese. Bull c**p! People are just shallow sometimes, don't listen!

Answer 4

the funny thing is. I'm 5'7 and i want to be the weight you are right now. lol but anyways 130 is not to big for your height. 99-110 is like model skinny. you know that nasty bone popping out skinny that only a mother would say is beautiful just to make you feel better lol. i think 130 would be great for you. and hey just think of it this way you was that weight before and was happy so why wouldn't you be this time right? not to mention that when you get down to your goal, if you think you need to lose more you wont need to lose more then about 5 or 10 more lbs. good luck

Answer 5

NO! 130lbs for a 5'1 women is NOT big. I am 128 i lift weights and do 30 min of cardo 3 times a week. sometime my scale says 131 but its nothing i am at a 18% body fat. Body fat is what you should look at when it comes to health and fitness.I have a friend thats 105lbs and is at 23% body fat. Body FAT matters the most. Any good gym can test your BF and let you kow what is it. Good luck with your weight loss.
