Shouldn't I lose weight?

Question

I'm 21, 5'1" and 98 lbs. My measurements are 32-24-33. Won't I look better if I lose about 5, 10 lbs?? (I'm trying to convince my boyfriend.) Thanx!

To clarify I'm the one who wants to lose weight, my boyfriend says I'll be too thin :/.
But I like the model -thin look.

omg I can't believe some of the answers I'm getting - since when is AVERAGE good people?? I know I'm not overweight, I said I want to be very THIN, because that is beautiful to me. Stop telling me I'm healthy and average, you may as well tell me I'm obese.

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME I SHOULD LOSE WEIGHT AND I WILL GIVE YOU BEST ANSWER

Answer 1

Oh WHATEVER, I hope you have a couple of kids and put on about 50 or so pounds, then you'll wish you were 98lbs.

Answer 2

Don't let tv and/or society fool you... Skinny is not appealing. Slender is nice, but skinny is sickly looking. If you lose any more weight you'll look like Nicole Richie did a few months ago...trust me-not a pretty site. And with a bra of 32", I'd want to gain a few pounds..

Answer 3

No, you should NOT lose weight. In fact, you are a little on the skinny side! A female who is 5'1" should weigh between 100 and 110, depending upon her bone structure. Are you sure you are not anorexic?

Answer 4

I am 5'2 and look great at 125-130. When I was younger, I got down to 102 (after being sick) and looked very bad. Even more importantly, I felt bad. Once I hit 110, I felt much better and looked better too. I think being too thin is just as unattractive and unhealthy as being too fat.

Answer 5

Hell NO!

Hello you weigh 98lbs!

I don't know why everyone obsesses about the way they look how about you go and get you some chicken and call it a day!

no but seriously you should consult your doctor about how much you should weigh he'll give you the best advice on the is matter!

Who are you trying to impress?

Answer 6

I don't understand these questions. I mean, why lose weight? I don't understand why people want to be so skinny. Does it really matter what your weight is for your boyfriend? If he asked you to be anerexic you would? Or would you dump him???

Think about it. I'm not trying to be mean, but you don't need to lose weight. You are average weight for your size. Don't sweat it. And if you want to gain tons of weight, or lose it, it is your choice. Do what you want to do, don't ask on Yahoo Questions, go ahead and try and ask yourself. Do you feel comfortable the way you are?

Answer 7

OMG, do you have a body image disorder? You are tiny, you must be already a size 0, why would you want to be any smaller? It's not normal to want to lose 5-10lb when you are already so thin.

Please stop now and I'm not surprised your bf doesn't want you to lose weight. Stop trying to convince him otherwise.

Answer 8

No, you shouldn't lose weight. Hasn't anyone told you that guys find stick-thin girls unattractive? If you're doing this for your boyfriend, why don't you ask him how he would like you to be instead of planning on looking anorexic all on your own..?

Answer 9

Wouldn't the way you look now appeal to your boyfriend. Why would you care about anyone else? Does he already think you are too thin? I'm thinking that if you don't think you look good enough now, you probably won't think you look good enough at 5 lbs.

Answer 10

You should be at about 100-105.

Answer 11

No. You should see a psychologist. Because someone who lacks the confidence to decide for themselves if they are overweight or not doesn't deserve to be walking the streets with the rest of us.
