Certainly not fat. Probably average.
your not overweight at all,you just right that is what your suppose to weight for that height. men like some meat on them, 6 ft. 115 is way to skinny.
a little bit
It depends entirely on the composistion of your body. If you really want to know, find someplace that does body fat analysis(some health clubs, hospitals, doctors,etc). Since muscle weighs more than fat, you may be fine at that weight if your body fat percentage is around 18%.
That's a healthy weight for your height. Don't go on a diet unless your doctor tells you to.
Please don't judge whether you're fat (and what actions you need to take) based on your weight! That's a lot like someone saying, "I have brown eyes. Am I pretty?" The answer depends on a lot!

It used to be that there were these height-weight ratio charts that were use as guidelines by many people (for example, that ideally women who are 5 feet tall should be 100 pounds, and that every inch of height thereafter should be 5 lbs heavier -- so that a woman who is 5'4" 'should' be 120 lbs). But, as more research is done, and as people become more active, doctors and scientists ALL AGREE that weight-height ratios are of little to no use! In fact, Glamour has a cover article this month that states your weight is useless -- there are other signs that are MUCH more helpful when trying to determine if you are fit (such as, can you climb two flights of stairs without huffing and puffing? Is your waist bigger than 35 inches around?). It really also depends on how muscular/fit you are. Muscle weighs more than fat! So you might look really trim but be heavier than a friend who doesn't exercise much and looks bigger than you.

As an illustration, a few years ago I read in a Newsweek that Michelle Kwan (the skater) was 120 pounds. I was like, HA! I'm the same height as her, and I'm only 110! Well, I think we all know that Michelle Kwan is a stick -- she's just waaaay more toned than me!

So, please don't worry about your weight or what anyone thinks. By the way, anyone who would say, "I'm 6' and 115, what do you think?" doesn't know what she's talking about! Not only does that seem REALLY underweight, but it's an uninformed answer.

I'd say you are chubby, unless you happen to play sports like soccer, lacrosse, track, and softball.

I'm 5'8" and wrestled at 126 in 9th and 10th grade. 32 years later, I've put on about 80 lbs.
ur ok
Sweetheart, there is nothing fat about you. You are at the normal size for your height. I know because I am 5.4 and weigh 145. You are perfect and don't let other people tell you there is something wrong with you. The only reason you should lose weight is if you aren't happy. But, NO.you are not fat.
if you are, then i am. and i'm not. so.you're not either.
Fat is a state of mind. If you feel thin, that's all that matters.
6'0 115lbs is borderline anorexia. That's discusting. Hun if you are fat at 5'2 130lbs, then I can guarentee you that 60% more of women are fat
there's a new tool that's come out which can help determine whether or not you're fat; it's called the mirror.
not fat.just a little overwieght. i'm 5'3 and the same weight. i guess it all depends on where the wieght is distributed. the bmi (body mass index) simplified has this proportion: girls 5' tall should weigh about 100 lbs, add 5 lbs for each additional inch. so you should be about 110 lbs. so not fat. you should prob just tone.
i would say avarage, but i dont know what your age is so im not sure.
Accurtely if calculated your wieght should be 126.5 lbs. But 130 lbs cannot be considered fat if your age is below 35yrs and on the border if you are above 35 yrs, Any how you are not fat.
It depends on so many different things.what is your body type? Family history? BMI? I'm 5'9" and 220..yet my BMI still falls into the healthy range.just because of how I am built. As long as you are healthy and happy.not much else matters!
Anybody who is the size of a fetus would think so.LOL
No I wiegh 120 and I'am 4ft 10in 21yrs old and no one has ever told me I was fat.I would say you have a very ideal wieght for your size.As you get older you usaully gain wieght, like when your in your 20's.Don't worry you're fine just the way you are.
