I need to see real life examples of my "healthy" "ideal" weight looks like. All of these charts say that is it for 5'7". Someone please show me a photo of yourself around that weight. I can't even fathom myself at that weight. It ain't gonna happen.

    At what time of day do you want people to be 147 pounds as most peoples weight will vary up to 5 pounds a day it may be difficult to get a photo at the exact time they are that weight.

    In reality these charts a just a guide don't get too obsessed over a single number. Do you look good and feel good? Are you in a healthy weight range? Then that's your ideal weight not a specific number from a chart

    Thanks guys. The smallest I have ever been as an adult is about 195. "Ideal" weight is a LONG way away.
