Anyone feel they have lost to much weight?



Recommended Posts

Looking to hear if anyone feels like they have lost to much weight? I have been to a few support groups and some people look VERY skinny

I'm always curious about how much people weigh whom other people think are too skinny.

I'm 5'5" and 138 pounds and 70 years old. Would that be "too skinny" to you?

Oh to have that problem... I am 5'3" and 145. Happy with that but wouldn't mind being "skinny". LOL

I'm at a low-ish weight for my height but I don't feel like it's too little. I also don't feel like it's the sleeve preventing me from gaining weight. I have to be careful or I could gain weight I think quite easily. It's not like the sleeve prevents me from eating so I keep losing weight.. It would be fairly easy for me to gain if I chose to.

I'm guessing you asked this because you are afraid of ending up drastically underweight and unable to gain. I don't think that happens very often.

I have had a few people tell me I'm too skinny (my husband being one of them, but he's very change-averse). But at 5'6" 135lbs, 46 years old, 18% body fat, I'm in a healthy range.

The plastic surgeon who did my work did tell me not to lose any more, but I have no intention of doing that.

Perhaps it's just because the average American woman is now a size 12 I believe? A size 4 probably looks quite skinny.

No. You sound perfect to me.
