Answer 1

Know if you need to lose weight

Health specialist use a measure called BMI, short for Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. This gives a good measure of your total body fat. BMI compares your height and weight. It shows if you are underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight.

You know how many pounds are there in 1 kg. Do not know let me help you, it is 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds. Check out what your BMI is by using the BMI calculator.

http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/adult_BMI/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.htm

BMI Category
Below 18.5 Underweight
Between 18.5 - 24.9 Healthy Weight
Between 25 - 29.9 Overweight
Over 30 Obese


Look at the BMI chart to find out how much weight you need to lose to move from obese to overweight or from overweight into a healthy range. Knowing this can help you set a good weight loss goal.

Answer 2

Don't pay attention to calculators that tell you that you're over or under weight. There are factors that they do not consider, such as your underlying build. A typical calculator will tell me that I am over weight but I have little fat and a tone body.

Health-wise, I wouldn't worry about being over or under weight.

As for people telling you to eat more... Eat when you are hungry. Eat until you are full. I know a lot of skinny people that eat a TON of food and still get the whole "you need to eat more" thing. Ignore it. Just keep your tummy happy.

If, however, you are thinking less health-wise and more attractiveness-wise. Then you might want to consider building some muscle tone.

Answer 3

To be honest you are skinny
I'm 5ft 1/2inch & most of my life I was 50 kg & now I'm a little heaver but still not overweight or fat so you are thin at 50 kg & 5 -4 tall a little more won't hurt you

Answer 4

Height: 5 feet, 4 inches
Weight: 110 pounds

Your BMI is 18.9, indicating your weight is within the normal range for adults of your height.

Answer 5

You are a little underweight.

Check out this calculator on Shape Magazine's site - http://www.shape.com/tools/calc/ideal/.

There is also a tool for finding out your Body Mass Index (BMI), too.

You could do strength training (lifting weights, or using resistance rubber bands) to gain muscle.

Pilates to tone.

Yoga to increase flexibility.

Cardio to work your heart and lose body fat.

What are your fitness goals? And there is more to health than the number on the scale!!

Good luck!

Answer 6

ur bmi is currently 19 and normal weight is 18.5-24.9 u might want 2 consider adding on more weight tho 110 lbs for 5' 8" is prbbly 2 low the bmi would be 16.7 which is clearly underweight the ideal weight would be 130-150 i guess 140 pounds but im just guessing

Answer 7

You're in the healthy weight range, at the lower end, but still fine. The only thing that isn't great about being at the lower end of the scale is that it only takes one tummy bug to hit and you look too thin. You could put on a couple of kilos if you think you look too skinny, but health wise you sound perfectly fine.

Answer 8

If u r male, yes, u should gain about 25-30 lbs. I am a women same as u 5-4 and I weigh 145. But I am more muscle than fat my Dr. says. You just need to put a little muscle on you and you will be fine. Good luck!!!

Answer 9

You need to gain some weight.It is not serious but your ideal weight should be about 55-56 kg.

Answer 10

your are ok the ideal weight since you want to know is between 1 30 and 145. that is the ideal weight for your height and age. I know this bc i am 24 and the same heigt as you are. That is what i was told the ideal weight is for me.
