Me again. I'm a very fine-boned Asian, so when I was 110lbs, I didn't actually look skinny, just normal. Now 120lbs, in my 40s, sometimes I feel as if I'm carrying too much for my bones. I know people here may not understand, since most of them have a stronger bone structure. My family is very slender.

I am with you, not asian but north african and i also have a very thin bone structure. I manage to look a bit chubby at 120 and 5'5". I look best at 110 (currently 117)

I don't know if someone has said this, but how I "feel" at each weight is confounded by age. I felt best at 125 lbs, but it was probably because I was 30, very active, ate well, and had not had kids yet.

15 years later, my discomfort is from bloating in the evening, a temperamental back, and achy joints. I am 135 now, but even if I was 125, I think I would "feel" the same.

I wonder how different our bone structures must be for 5’4” tall women to all look good at very different weights.

I’m 5’4” and feel great at 135 although I’ve spent most of my late 30’s-late 40’s in the 145 range. That’s not ideal for me because I’m not muscular. I feel like I’d look like a bag of bones at 120!

I follow a dietician on IG who is about 5’4” and 150lbs. She muscular but not too much. She looks fabulous. Seriously fit. Not skinny but thin.

I think it’s really different for everyone.

No way! Thats a good weight - youre pretty tall. I bet you look quite slim at 141

I was 120-125 back in my teens and early 20s. I’m 45 now. So I feel like I’m huge compared to these weights people have.

Well me too, im 142 but have been losing 1.2 lbs a week...sooo maybe ill see if i can get to 135...or less? No idea at this point

Kind of aiming for the same. What have you been doing that works?

Filling up on better quality foods (for fiber and protein) = less craving for snacks.

Same but I’ve kind of stalled for the last 10 days.

Oh thats very frustrating - I think just continue what you're doing and your body will catch up and restart the losing process again...maybe in a week or so.

5’4 and busty. I feel my best at a muscular 126-130. More than that and I get flabby, less than about 126/127, I get “skinny fat.”

-OP

Talk to your health care provider for real advice. There are lots of women on here with distorted eating.

And no I am not fat before you call me 'fatty' or 'jelly'

5’5” I’m 50. My favorite weight is 116 but I’m. 120 right now recovering from surgery. I was 89 when I graduated high school. We run very lean in my family until middle age. But it’s due to a digestive disorder that sucks.
