Hey everyone,

I'm a 5'6 female, current weigh around 180.8 pounds and I'm 22 years old (23 in October). It is embarrassing to say, but since I've been obese for most my life, I have no idea what a healthy weight should be. Would 130 pounds be a good end goal for me or should it be something else?

    It can vary, but yes, that can work. The exact number isn't as important as the lifestyle you choose - eating right, being physically active, doing strength training, etc. When people do that, they tend to gravitate to a healthy weight automatically. :+1:

    Just calculate your BMI. If it's about 22 your perfectly fine.
