Should I be worried about my weight?

Your BMI is perfectly healthy for your height. You can’t expect to weigh less than your husband when he’s shorter than you!

I would stop focusing so much on the numbers (especially when you’re at a healthy BMI) and start focusing more on your shape. Hit the gym and do what you can to build your curves and tone your body. If you want abs, though, realize that they’re built in the kitchen and not the gym. Eat healthy, nutritious, and satiating meals and limit your sugar and corn syrup intake.

But honestly, before you go on this crusade, maybe stop and ask your husband for his opinion. For all we know, he might think you look perfectly healthy and attractive where you’re at now. But asking for his honest opinion means you need to be ready to hear an honest, uncomfortable answer. If he does have an issue, I’m 95% sure he’s more concerned with your shape and your overall health than your weight.

6 years ago you were a teenager that wasnt finished growing into a womanly shape yet. You've gotta be nicer to yourself! At 5'8" i weighed more than 120 when i was anorexic, literally dying to get below that. Its not a numbers game. And weight isnt a game you wanna start playing. Shape matters a lot more! Curves dont happen without weight behind the muscle. Your bmi can be in the "obease" range and have 5% bodyfat if you lift = bmi is a liar too. I look my best at 150lbs of built curves. Noone thinks im anywhere close to that. If it was fat, id look fat/heavy at that number.

Gain enough weight for a * Healthy* baby. Dont worry about your size and be easy on yourself until you get back to activities. Baby first. Hot later. Postpartum is no joke.

Every inch over 5' should be 5lbs of muscle. Your 'athletic/slim' goal is exactly where you are.

You are perfectly healthy for your weight! 120 pounds is underweight for you and there are health risks associated with being underweight what you need to do is start lifting weights and building muscle to add curves to your figure. Well if that is what your husband wants. So ask him what he likes. You can also visit r/xxfitness for advice. Make sure you are eating enough calories and protein(1g for every lb you weigh) if you decide to go on the muscle building route. And no women will not become bulky.

Here are some of my recommendations depending on which areas you want to grow:

Bigger legs: Romanian deadlifts, Bulgarian split squats, Lunges, front squats, weighted step ups, Banded leg side squats.

Bigger butt: Hip thrusts, glute bridges, Romanian deadlifts, single leg Bulgarian split squats dumbell lunges, sumo squats, Weighted step ups, kettlebells swings.

Bigger and tone arms: Side lateral raises, tricep kickbacks, bicep curls, pull ups, chin ups, dips, flys. Hammer curls, millitary press, Arnold press.

nope. your bmi is healthy and when you're working out, you might weigh a little more anyways from muscle gain. and be realistic. you cant have beautiful feminine curves while being underweight, you need muscle!

Worry more about how you look than your scale weight when you are in this healthy bmi range.

Use the wife goggles concept to your advantage.

Sounds like you just need to stop stress eating really. Maybe add some weights to recomp a bit. Only you know for sure because none of us can see you.

No. You’re a very healthy weight for your height

Weird question: Do you guys have a semblance of fitness in your lives?

Hey you're doing great, when you are taller dont expect to be lighter, it's like me at 175cm expecting to be lighter than my 163cm mother, it just wont happen
