Am I at a healthy weight?

Question

In the morning I'm usually around 105-106 lbs, in the middle 106-107 lbs, and at the end of the day around 107-108 lbs and then I go workout and I'm 5 foot 4 inches. Is this healthy?

Yes that sounds healthy :) You could probably even gain a few pounds and still be in the "Ideal Weight" range :D

Here are 3 smart strategies for weight loss:

1. Carefully ease yourself into new eating routines

When attempting to shed weight it is tremendously likely that you will need to modify the foods you normally eat. You may be tempted to go cold turkey and substitute everything with something considered to be beneficial. This may actually sabotage your fat loss plans. You might later experience a crash or withdrawals. This could lead to binge eating on junk food So try this: substitute one junk food item with something wholesome. For example, if you eat three candy bars everyday try eating two candy bars and one piece of fruit. Stick with that for a little while and see how it goes. If you adjust to it well then try replacing another candy bar. Take this approach and before you know it, your snacks and dinners will be much healthier and you should not miss the junk food.

2: Give yourself enough time to lose the weight

It is not important that you drop tons of fat within a short period of time. This is a reckless and unsafe approach to weight loss. Set a long term goal. For example, if you would like to lose fifty pounds then give yourself a reasonable timeframe to reach that goal. Do not try to lose it all within a few months.

3: Stagger your calories and food choices

Do not eat the very same food each day. Mix it up. Eat slightly different amounts as well. Perhaps one day you eat 1500 calories. Maybe the next you bump it up to 1700 then back down again the next and so on. This keeps things interesting for yourself and prevents your body from becoming too accustomed to your diet. The human body is highly adaptive so you do not want to let it get too comfortable.

Answer 3

5 foot 4 with 106 pounds is a BMI (body mass index) of 18. Under 18.5 you are underweight, between 18.5 and 24.9 you are healthy weight and over that you are overweight. From 30 on you are obese.
18 is a good bmi tho, just because your underweight doesnt mean you arent healthy. skinny people are usually healthier then overweight people anyhow

Answer 4

You are weighing yourself too much, you should weigh yourself once a week at the most, at around the same time of day, because your body weight varies up and down throughout the day depending on what you eat and the fluid level.

To find out the 'average weight for you, consult a chart

Answer 5

I'm 125, 5'3 and really skinny. You are nowhere near being fat or over weight. Hell, you should probably gain about 10 pounds.

Answer 6

Yes :)
