I am 5'5" and I weight 141 lbs.?!


Question:
Is this overweight? I feel "chunky" but everyone tells me I am skinny. Is this a normal weight?
Answers:
According to the guidelines set up by the AMA (American medical association and ADA American Dietetic Association) 125 is you ideal body weight if you are on the small boned size if you are large boned you can expect to weigh about 10% more 12.5 pounds more which would give you 137.5 pounds. give or take a couple of pounds.

Are you active? Do you eat a balanced diet? Do you include fresh fruits and vegetables and lots of fiber in your diet? These things when part of a healthy diet will result in weight loss. I would need to talk with you more and ask certain questions to find out for sure.

Girls are too self-conscious about their weight. You all spend too much time worrying about your weight and NOT having fun. Then you wonder why Guys not want to do anything with you. Hope this helps.

Depends on bone size and amount of muscle tone. If you feel good, don't worry. (I'm 5'8", 130#)

You are a little overweight as it says healthy weight is between 112- 133lbs

What size are you?

If i am honest i think you may be more comfortable losing a few pounds.

i don't think so. i'm 5'7" and 160 lbs. but i have a family history of heavy bones. don't worry, your fine.

no you are okay, you are not skinny nor fat well a little chubby I guess cause I also weight 141 lbs. And I think I really am chubby, but mostly people say I'm okay, well not my brother, but i think he is telling me the truth
