5'10 female. Is 130 too low?

I think that is way too low.. My ideal weight at 5'4 is 124..

I think it depends on your body. Frame, muscle, etc... I am not an expert though! I know for me (from past experience), 170 is about as low as I can go without looking anorexic, and I am 5'9".

I'm 5'8 and at 138lbs my BMI is 20. 18 is when it starts to be unhealthy and although it does say "healthy range" it is very close to being underweight.

Plus if you are building muscle than you'll weigh more anyways but still be slim and healthy (:
BMI calculators on most sites are actually incorrect (new study - you could search BMI Calculator 2013 for the new one)

I'm nearly 6ft tall, i got down to 145 ONCE and that was WAY too low for me, i'm thinking 130 would be way to low for an avg 5'10 person.

It is low for your height, but people carry weight differently.
I'm 5'7" and currently 163 and I think 130 would look terrible on me.

That's pretty low for your height. Also keep in mind that if you're in a healthy range or once you get into a healthy weight range, it becomes much more difficult to lose and it will be very slow going. Your body simply won't want to give up what little fat stores it has.

I would say focus more on body composition than hitting that particular number on the scale....i.e. more muscle, less fat.

It is your world and your goals. We can only counsel you how to get to them. Your body structure and weight are up to you.

However, since you asked, sounds a little lean to me, for my preference. But again, your journey.

If i read your ticker correctly, looks like you have a bit to go. I would recommend setting some interim goals/stopping points along the journey. We need re-enforcement. If the goals are too far away, it is easy to get frustrated. maybe a 30 day goal, a 90 day goal, etc Celebrate them as you hit them along your journey.

The more we celebrate inlife, the more in life there wil be to celebrate!.

Now, as long as i am on my soapbox, i would encourage you not to focus just on weight. It is just a number. Focus on fitness and lifestyle. That will carry you through better. Honestly, if you are working out, in great shape and weighed 150 or 160, i bet you would, at your height, look fantastic. Just a thought for you!

Good luck!

Everyone is different. Genes and frame size/bone structure make a huge difference. I'm small boned and weigh 115 (I'm 5'8). Looking at that number, most people would say I'm way too skinny. But if you look at my photos, you'll see that I'm not.

Hello, Im 5'10 and my goal weight is 130. I checked the bmi and it sais im okay but looking at other people who are shorter are aiming for the same goal... What should I be aiming for?

Actually, your Ideal Body weight for your height is 150 lb. +/- 10%, this is 100 lb for the first 5 feet and 5 lb for each add'l. inch. This is using the Hamwi formula. So the lowest would be 135 lb. So, 130 lb is a bit too low for you. Hope this helps. I have a degree in Nutrition and this is what I was taught and what is widely used for Nutr. Assess. purposes.

When you are in the range of weight that you have to ask that question, then the best thing to do is get an examination done. Have you Blood Sugar, Cholestoral, and Body Fat% checked. If THOSE things are in the healthy range, then you're fine at 130.

So 130lbs is on the low end of the healthy range for your height. The high end (BMI of 25) is 174. So anywhere between 130-174 is your healthy weight range. I am 5 ft 2. My healthy range is 109-137. My goal weight is 130. I am shooting for the upper end of healthy. My older sister however is the same height and weighs 110. She looks great, it's just not where I am going to be. I plan on checking out how I look and feel when I get close to my weight goal. I may decide I want to go lower, but right now I chose a goal that seems somewhat achievable. 109 seems a little impossible. Maybe that is why you are seeing shorter people with the same goal. I would say that you should aim for whatever you want as long as it's in the healthy range. If you get close to 130 and that seems to low, it's ok to reevaluate and change.

yes....too low! Every women is different and can hold weight differently. But in my opinion:

A good weight should be apx 145 - 150!


Edit to add: I'm 5'9" and apx 140. If I lose much more I'll look sickly!!

Yeah I think it is too low too. Listen to what that other people have said but more so listen to your body when you get closer. I am 5"10 and my goal is 140.

I think it really, really depends! I am 5'7" and have been steady at 160 for six months now, and while I still have some more weight to shed to really be no longer overweight, I have a very solid bodytype. I think I would not look good at 130. However, I have some friends and co-workers who are just so willowy. At 5'10" and 130 is great for them -- slender, but not *skinny*.

Heck, aim for it and see what happens! You'll know as you approach 145 ... 140 ... 135 if that will be too thin *for*you*.

I'm 5'9" and the lowest I've ever been is 130lbs (and I was NOT eating enough....a little too obsessed with weight at the time....plus was in my late teens). I'm currently 155lbs and my goal is 145lbs....I'm 43 and in good shape.

Good luck whatever goal you set....set smaller goals and see how you look/feel when you get there...you'll know!
