Should I maintain or lose weight?

Lilzgeland

At the beginning of September 2013, I was 5'7 and weight around 130 pounds, by June 2014 I had lost around 13 pounds and weighed about 117 pounds. Over this summer, and up until the last 2 weeks, i've had major binge sessions ( between 3000-5000kcal +) and have managed to put on 10, of the original 12 pounds I lost. I'm now 5'7 and between 126-7 pounds. Since I have a healthy BMI (19.2) should I focus now on getting toned and maintaing rather than losing weight? or try to lose a couple of pounds that I gained from the binges? Thanks

i'm 18 years old if that helps

was I too skinny before?

Definitely maintaining but its also about personal preference i believe. If you like to be more toned (more muscle) you will ultimately weigh more, but if you prefer to be slender than i don't believe you need to lose any more weight.

It's up to you and what weight/body you feel comfortable at. I think you really shouldn't ask stranger's opinions on this matter.

I'm also 18; my current goal weight is 130 and I'm only 5'4". Without knowing more about you, I would be inclined to say that putting on some muscle would probably flatter you more than losing more weight, but I'm not the person that should decide for you.
