Help me decide. 5'8 155 pound female..?!
Question: I'm 5'8, medium-large frame, 155 pounds. I don't WANT to be fat. I already have social anxiety so it's *very* important to me. I have lost 61 pounds. I've looked at the BMI charts and I'm not suppose to go under 125 pounds, but should I try to get to 125 pounds and try to maintain it? I feel fatter than ever.. I'm 18 if that matters.

First of all, congratulations on the weight you've already lost! I'm also 5'8" and about 150lbs. I have my bits that I don't like (I always feel like my bum and thighs are too big) but I've decided that rather than set a weightloss goal for myself, I'm going to train for and run a 1/4 marathon this summer.
You need to find your happy weight. There will always be bits of yourself you don't like but you are a perfectly healthy weight right now. Plus, most guys like girls with a few curves, as much as the media tries to push the stick thin models and actresses on us, real guys like girls with curves. If you're truly unhappy with your weight then lose a little more. Or do what I'm doing and set yourself a fitness goal that will make you feel good about yourself (and help you get in shape!)
Learn to love yourself for who you are darling, I'm sure you're beautiful!
age, height, and body frame all pertain to your weight.
don't lose anymore, if you're very tall, 155 seems just about right. it's hard for me, i'm 4'11 in high school and weight is always a problem for me. just remember to eat right, and excercise. you're weight is just fine.
(PS) another way to tell is, how many inches around your belly. remember you can feel bloated and such during your "week" every month.
Hey, don't feel bad. My boyfriend is 4'9 and 315 lbs. Just more to love
I'm the same height the charts i have looked at say 153-173 lbs so your the right height for your weight. also remember to exercise to keep weight right where it is as muscle is heavier than fat. I'm alot older than you so experience is speaking.
