So I went completely vegetarian a week ago and I am already down 2 pounds and we aren't going to TTC until September. I am 5'6'' and now weight 124 lbs. I am at my lowest adult weight ever! :) I don't mind losing more weight but I don't want it to get too low that I am not ovulating. So what would be too low of a weight for my height??
That is different for everyone unfortunately depending on your build and body type, but normal BMI is as low as 18.5. BMI of 19, for someone 5-6, is 118. You don't NEED to go that low of course and you may need to take steps to make sure you don't lose too much too soon (as in, eating more cals and eating more simple carbs.)
You will probably plateau at some point becuase as your body mass shrinks, you'll burn less calories.
I am 5' 6, started at 132 in october, was 110 at my bfp in march.
Wonderful NeedAGirl! I decided I want to get my BMI at least to an 18
