Don't worry about your perfect weight and this why, if you want a tone and lean body like Miss Spears used to be then you need to lift weights along with working out. When you lift weights you'll gain muscle and muscle weighs more then fat. So I suggest you work towards your goal of loosing 6 pounds and instead of just cardio you weight train for 30 minutes a day at least 3 times a week and you will not only lose weight faster you'll look amazing and most likely won't need to loose any more weight. You don't won't to be obsessed with what the scale says though because looking better, by gaining muscle is more important then how much weight you loose.
im 5'9 and 131 lbs.
if you're 5'9 and weigh 145 lbs. then i think you're at a really good weight because most of that weight is just bones.i'm 5'5 and i weigh 122 lbs. but if you really wanted to lose weight i'd say try to lose 6 lbs.
well according to charts it's 100lbs for a 5' person and an extra 5 pounds for each inch taller you are. so you are bang on ideal weight. how much more you lose is just your personal opinion and decision, but you don't NEED to lose anything
You are perfect! Don't do a thing!
you should weight in at about 125lbs-130lbs:)
you seem like you're at a good weight now, so i'd say if you want to lose weight, go with 7 lbs as a goal.
You can calculate your "ideal" body weight using this formula. For women: for every inch above 5', multiply by 5 and add to 100. So for 5'9", your ideal weight is 100+9x5=145. You are exactly at your ideal weight.
Another way to estimate if your weight is appropriate is to calculate your BMI (you can find a BMI calculator online). Your BMI is 21.4. A normal BMI is between 18.5-24.9, which corresponds to a weight range of 125-168 lbs.
Rather than aim for a target weight, how about aiming to improve fitness? Physical exercise will help tone your physique & improve your health, even if you don't lose weight. You might lose weight quickly by dieting, but many studies have shown that it is usually regained within a year. However, those who make lifestyle changes (including exercise) increase their chances of keeping the weight off.
