How much weight should I lose?

[Marie Ann]

I am a 19 year old female, 5 foot 6 inches, measurements: 36-24-40, and 170 lbs. I was always very athletic, but then I stopped working out because I work 9 0hours a weeks. I have a very muscular build under my flabs hahaha. I was just wondering how much weight I should lose to be healthy again. What do you think? Here are some pictures:

Hi Marie Ann, at 24 inches, your waist is small. I would love to have a 24 waist lol. You said you have a muscular build and actually BMI doesn't mean much for people with muscular builds or I would suggest getting to the "healthy" BMI range. So I would just say, lose enough weight to where you feel awesome about how you look Set small goals and when you reach the goal, if you're still not quite there, set a new small goal.

AYou DO NOT look 170lbs. Youre tiny! I agree with them ^^^
lose to where YOU feel happy with yourself and the way you look.
You need to feel comfortable in your own body.
You go girl!!
