well coming from a fattie - no you don't need to lose weight. But then I can only dream of the day when I weigh 133. lol.

in all seriousness....that's a healthy weight for that height. You would be absolutely fine if you didn't lose any weight.

Calculate your BMI

You do not need to lose weight. You are at a healthy weight.

about the lose weight==no you don't need to lose weight, but there is nothing wrong with toning up...

some people at a good healthy weight, are actually still out of shape because they have a high percentage of fat still. I believe miracle gave you a bmi calculator, but you would have to take measurements of your hips, neck, thighs, waist, to get a good idea of your lean-ness the military uses a similar formula.

You don't need to lose weight. But do you need to get in shape. Even when i am 130lbs I can't run a mile without sucking air! Weight doesn't equal healthy!!!! So trying to get your body in better baby mood is wonderful!!!! (i could be biased since thats what i am currently doing

)
So this group is called Weight loss but some of us are here to get in shape, lose weight, become baby machines, etc.
Feel free to join us if you like! Everyone is welcomed here!

Ditto what angela said.....not everyone at a healthy weight is in great health. And of course stick around if you like...everyone is welcome here...the more the better!

Thank you for your input.

Yea i think i might decide to stick around. I do think I could be healthier, with food and working out more regularly. I'm going to Hawaii in May so it would be nice if i could tone up a little, if it's even possible to by then. I need to make sure i really focus on being healthy more than my size though. I left this out on purpose before because i wanted to know your opinions without you knowing, but i have struggled with an eating disorder. So all of this is really hard for me. "Would it really be healthy to lose weight? Because no matter how much i lose it's never good enough. And how much food is really enough?" With all these different thoughts going through my head it makes it hard to know for sure. But I really do want to be healthy and am doing my best to recover from it.[/b]

Well being open about it is Wonderful! Like I said before feel free to join us!
HAWAII!!!!!! I love it....where are you going while there? I have only done Maui.
