Is this a good size? 160 5'5? Picture included.

I wish I was that size x

You do look great but it's really about how you feel. If you are exercising and feel that you are seriously doing the best you can in terms of looking after your health then that's what matters.

A good example is my daughter, she is 5'10" and she used to weigh 150 pounds - she had quite a bit of flab on her body (believe it or not) and substantial 'love handles'. At the time she didn't eat very well at all; meat eater, consumed white flour, dairy, sweets etc. Since 2006 she's been going to the gym almost daily, has become vegan and doesn't eat crappy foods anymore and she now weighs 180 and she wears it proud because it's all muscle ~ she is more fit and feels better than she ever has.

So realistically you can't go by what the scale says, you have to go by your measurements, how you feel and if you really feel there is no room for improvement (if you feel you are sincerely doing the best you can) then that's all that matters.

My advice is just love yourself and when you love yourself you will treat yourself kindly and look in the mirror and give yourself positive compliments, that in itself will shift your energy and keep you motivated and inspired to be the best you can be

"I'm scared others don't think so".

While the judgments of other undoubtedly weight heavily on us, they are not the best motivator for long term success. You will NEVER please everyone. The only person you have control over is how you please yourself. And even if you did please everyone, and you yourself were not satisfied, you wouldn't be happy until you were satisfied. Everyone out there has a different idea of what looks good or bad, so all you can do is pick YOUR idea and aim for it. Measure your body fat % so you know what's "healthy" (or find some other healthy range to guide you) and after that the aesthetics are up to you.

If you haven't already, pick up strength training. It will do wonders for body confidence.

Please yourself!

I know how you feel. I always thought I was fat, even though I was skinny. I am large boned, so looking at the scale, I always thought I was too heavy. I used to freak at 160, now I would be happy to be at 180!

You do what makes you feel comfortable with yourself! If you feel comfortable at 160 get there and stay there. Don't let others tell you otherwise.

I am 5'5 too and currently at 185, give or take a couple pounds depending on the day. I weighed 140 before I had my first baby 5+ years ago, and that's my ultimate goal. But my goal for now is 160. Dont worry about what others think, its about what makes you happy.

I am 5 ft 4 and used to be 147, I thought I was fat then!! I went up to 160 looking at photos I looked good there too ... take some photos, you look lovely hun, just give yourself a kick up the bum with the confidence!

The number is just a number...if you incorporate strength training and do cardio as well, you can sometimes stay the same weight but body composition is completely different.

Depends on your goal. I think you look great at that size, nice and curvy. I also think I looked pretty good at that size, a little soft and curvy, but it wasn't where I wanted to be. I'm much happier with my body now, tight and curvy. It's about 10 pounds over a healthy BMI but there is a lot of evidence out there that being about that much overweight doesn't have any ill effect on health.

I think you look great, hun. But it's not about what we think. It's about what you think and how you feel.

Re-evaluate your goals!! Are you happy at this weight?? If so, it doesnt matter what anybody says. If you are unsure, try to maintain your current weight for a few week/months and after that make your decision. No need to rush!!! I think you look great!
