If you don't focus a lot on muscle building, I think anywhere from 180-200 would be good for you due to your height. Muscle adds up, so you could be at 200 and not look like you weight that much. But if you're just losing weight 180 should be good for you, but you should judge yourself as you lose weight and see what size you like best.

180

i say to 160 somewere there

Anything under 200 would be good.

180 or less ur short so

good weignt for you should be 160 or 170 unless you had muscle (work up etc..) then you had over weight, also if you waist if over 34 you are over.

175 lbs. No more. No less. 175 lbs.

165-185

At your height and age, 175 would be just about right. You've got a ways to go!

185

Since muscle weighs so much more than fat, I would not go by a certain *majic* number. Go by a pant size. However many sizes you would like to go down.

135

Ask your parents and your doctor.

Im 18 I weight about 156 Im have a decent body. But I say around 170 is the perfect size for bodybulding if you of course are committed and go to the gym alot

about 175

maybe you should get to at lest 200lb

a healthy weight is about 150-190. Good luck, keep working towards your goal!

anything under 200, but it all depends on your body frame. You can be big and burly, but not have an ounce of fat on you, because you naturally have a large frame. I on the otherhand have a relatively thin frame. I'm a15 year old guy, weigh 135lbs, and am 6'2". You might just have a large frame, so don't fret over it. but 234 is still a lot. you did a good job loosing the weight, keep itup

Here's a site so you can check your weight with your height depending on your body frame and gender.

It will help more than people giving you random weights because these are healthy weights.

Good luck and good day.

First I want to say congads! Great job keep up the good work! One time i was at the YMCA and this really hot guy from the football team came up to me and wanted to spot me on the free weight bar. While my sister was flirting with him I think he was trying to show off his guns. He said he was about 200 pounds.(muscle weight) Anyways he was pretty buff, but not as big as Vin Diesel. I watched his work out. I thought i was going to die just watching him do it. He was doing 15 reps of 30 with 80 pound weights on each arm. So I would say about 225 would be a good weight. GOOD JOB DUDE!!!

It is a time-honored tradition to make resolutions at this time of year. If your resolution is to lose weight - and keep it off, then keep reading! Here are six simple tips that will have you losing weight in a balanced and healthy way.

1. Lose weight with water.
Water is essential for everybody - it is also the key to losing weight. If you haven't been drinking enough water, your body has developed a pattern of storing water. This water retention equals extra unwanted weight.

By drinking more water, you are not only flushing out toxins, you are also teaching your body that it no longer needs to store water. Drink at least 60 ounces of water (about 8 glasses) a day. Boil water and sliced lemons, and drink this throughout the day to help with fluid retention. If you are still not sold on the merits of water, try this on for size: water is a natural appetite suppressant.

2. Soup up your weight loss program.
A simple dietary change will have you shedding pounds: eat a bowl of soup at least once a day. Nutritious, low-salt soups will nourish you as they flush waste from your body. People who eat a serving of soup daily lose more weight than those who eat the same amount of calories but don't eat soup. Go for homemade soup whenever possible, as canned soups are loaded with salt and chemicals.

3. Eat early to keep weight off.
The human body follows a circadian rhythm, which means that the same foods eaten at breakfast and lunch are processed differently than when eaten at dinner. Studies show that when you eat your daily protein and fat at breakfast you tend to lose weight and have more energy; however, eating the same things at dinner tend to increase tendencies toward weight gain. I suggest that you eat your last meal of the day by 7 p.m.

4. Eat smaller meals, more frequently.
Follow an eating schedule with five little meals every day. Eating steadily through the day keeps you from becoming famished and overeating at your next meal. Make a low-fat trail mix from raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried plum, and apples and have it available at all times to avoid the tempting lure of high-calorie snacks.

5. Adopt a balanced approach to your diet.
Most of the fad diet programs out there nowadays are extreme in a few recommended foods, or else deprive the body of food altogether. This works in opposition to our metabolism and the results usually don't last, producing a yoyo effect that depresses your metabolic function - not to mention your self-esteem. We are natural beings that need a balance of nutrition from all sources.

Your diet should consist of a balance of organic sources of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Instead of white rice and pasta, opt for brown rice, bulgur, millet, or buckwheat.

Eat more green, chlorophyll-rich foods such as broccoli, kale, spinach, and asparagus. Eliminate candy, sugar, soda, and all simple sugars from your diet. Excess sugar ends up being stored as fat in your body, which results in weight gain. Also, keep dairy to a minimum because most dairy products are high in saturated fat. Avoid fatty foods, processed or fried foods.

6. Walk off the weight.
The No. 1 cause of weight gain is inactivity. Physical activity is the key to speeding up your metabolism and burning excess calories. The best way to be physically active is to use your legs! Walk as often and as long as you can. Always take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Step outside during your break at work and take a walk around your building. Consider joining a local hiking club. Try taking a walk 30 minutes in the morning or 30 minutes in the early evening.

I hope this article helps you shed some pounds and add on the years! I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me.

May you live long, live strong, and live happy!
