OK..im 5- 1/2 and i weigh around 180--is that normal, or am i diet bound?

I wouldn't say diet bound especially if you already eat healthily, but you might want to try and be in the 150-160 range. \n\nYour BMI is about 26, which would be considered overweight, but honestly everyone is different. Don't let us dictate whether you should be on a diet or not, eat well, exercise. If you take care of your body it will take care of you.

I think you'll find you're easily in the normal range of most calculators including BMI.  Here's a few to to give you an idea of your ideal weight range.  Keep in mind, these tools are for estimates only.\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/ideal_weight_woman.html\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmi.html

no that's how i am. i'm 5'4" and 110 pounds. i just have a high metabolism. you probably do too. that means that your body breaks down the food you eat very quickly and it absorbs the nutrients quickly too. i know that if i dont eat a lot sometimes, then i get lightheaded and dizzy. that's because of my metabolism. so dont worry about how thin you are. but, that doesnt mean that you should pig out on junkfood, either. its unhealthy no matter what. so make sure to still exercise and eat nutritious foods! (but hey, if you want that piece of chocolate cake, have it!! lol)

Congrats on making it this far.  I really don't see why you should need to lose that much more weight.  I'm the same height as you and 135 falls within my ideal weight range (something like 125 to 140 is ideal, if I remember correctly). So, at most you probably should only lose 10 more lbs, you don't want to be too skinny. Your body has probably just reached a plateau where the weight is going to come off more slowly now.  I'd suggest just going on a maintenance plan for now, then starting a diet again in a month or two.  This will allow your metabolism to regulate, then when you start dieting again the weight may come off easier.  Also, work on thinking of yourself as a beautiful person instead of nit picking about a little bit of chub here and there.  From your description, I'm sure you look great and just don't realize it.

From what my doctor tells me, you should weigh about 120-135 max. Hope that helps. But don't forget-round is a shape.

I feel that you don't need to loose any weight. I'm have a one year old girl and i weight around that amount. You are beautiful in your own way and you should feel beautiful.

I thinnk going down like to about 10 to 20 pounds be all right too. I know a girl who is your height and she's 105 lb. Her doctor said she's doing fine. Not underweight at all. BTW, I kinda agree with Pun. She's right.

Well, I am 5'7 1/2 and my weight has ranged from 118 lbs (size 2) to 191 lbs (size 16-18). My best weight was around 135 (size 6). I also have gained curves with those figures, so it really depends on your body shape. I also have a small frame. With medium build probably around 125-145 is nice.

Sounds not bad to me, have you big bones or slight build cos that also determines what is considered overweight.\nYou must know what u look like  OK...long as you are healthy n happy then all's good.77kgs sounds just fine...

why would you want to loose weight and you just weigh 129 you sound fine to me.You need to start eating some food and get some weight on that body

You want to weigh 101 lbs?!!!  I know you don't want to hear this but that's much too thin for your height.  I am 5'2" and weigh 112 pounds.  To tell you the truth, I look like a walking skeleton and am trying to GAIN weight.  Please, please don't start trying to loose weight when it's not necessary!  I know, that's what everyone has been telling you but it's true.  Research shows that the earlier you start going on diets the less successful you'll be in the years to come (at 13 that's not something you are worried about -- after all you have all the time in the world  but believe me those years will pass before you know it).  Do yourself a favor and just eat healthy (fruits, veggies, no saturated fats, etc.) and walk 3-4 times a week for about an hour.  You'll be healthier and happier with yourself than if you loose the weight you want.

there is no such thing as "the perfect weight".\n\nhowever, i would have to say a healthy weight would be anywhere from 125-140.\ni'm 5'8" and 128 pounds and apparently i'm underweight...

your bmi is 17.7 which is ok because a healthy range is 18.5-24.5\nwhich doesnt mean your unhealthy, so dont listen to whoever says you should gain weight.\nyour probably just naturally thin. and yes there is such thing. so whoever is like ohmigod gain some weight your too thin...yeah. dont listen to them. trust me i get a lot of shit for that too=]\nyou are underweight but w/e as long as your healthy dont worry about it=]

Well, I'm 4'11 1/2 and my ideal weight is 105. But, I'm 22. So probably around 90. I don't know, there are different factors. Ask your doctor, or find a weight chart on the internet. This is just my guess.

Look, different people are going to be different sizes.  I'd tell you the same thing that I tell folks who are (or think they are)overweight, but are still healthy.  Trust your body and your appetite.\n\nWork with your mind to clear away the negativity about food, and listen to your body.  It knows what it needs instinctively.  If you're not a big eater, just don't worry about it.  Your body is probably just telling you that it's balanced for your activity level, and that you shouldn't force yourself to eat more than you need.\n\nSome people are more vulnerable to things like diabetes and heart disease than average.  So maybe your body is telling you that at this stage of your life, this is the size you need to be to be healthy.  There may be times when you want to eat more, and times when you want to eat less.  I'll bet you would eat more if your activity level was higher.\n\nHowever, if you notice an imbalance...that your appetite isn't in line with your activity level, and you may start passing out, having skin problems, or other types of malnutrition symptoms, it is your body trying to tell you that something is missing between your appetite signal and what you actually need.\n\nIn that case, you still don't want to force yourself, but you may want to try taking a multivitamin and other supplements to bring things back in line.\n\nThere are also high calorie energy foods that you can eat that will provide what you need without alot of junk.  I don't like much sugar either, so when I was having energy problems but lack of appetite from hypothyroid, I would have a banana with peanut butter, celery with cream cheese, or a packet of those cheese peanut butter crackers.\n\nIf it's the chewing and swallowing that bothers you (I used to have trouble swallowing too), then something liquid like a yoghurt drink or Ovaltine might do the job.\n\nDon't worry about what the jealous have to say about your weight.  You know, even as a fat woman, I sometimes get comments from people because I handle it well and don't let it stop me from doing whatever I want to do.  So just tune the nega-nags out and just live your life.  Your health is your business.
