am i overweight?


Question Posted Monday July 31 2006, 10:44 pm


okay i know the whole body mass thing where you multiply stuff by some decimal and i know about what you should be for your height ... but i wanna know by appearance if im considered "chubby" ... im 5 foot or 5 foot 1 ... and im 130-ish pounds?

i dont understand how that could be because i dont think im fat ... my stomach doesnt stick out all that much, i dont have huge boobs, and my legs arent fat, just curvy. i dont eat more than 1000 calories a day. i dont eat junk food or drink soda. i dont eat big portions of carbs or anything else really.

i dont understand how i weigh so much! somehow i gained 10 pounds.. last year i weighed 120 and for the most part i looked the same as i do now (i didnt get any taller either)

when im in jeans and a tee shirt my legs look good and so does my stomach so i really dont understand! does anyone else have this issue?

I have this problem.
I figure, If I look in the mirror, and I'm content
(which it sounds you are, if you didn't know how much you weigh)
a number shouldn't matter that mouch.
muscle weight more than fat.
and curves are sexy.

well only eating 1000 calories is your main problem. if you eat under 1500 your body basically shuts down and thinks it is straving and starts preserving fat

i am your height and i weigh 115 pounds and i am always refered to as a little on the chubby side if that helps, like in a bathing suit anyways. once i put clothes on i am not really that chubby but losing a few pounds wouldn't hurt.

Height makes you gain weight. Imagine taking a horizontal slice (sliver) out of your body, one inch thick, and weighing it. It'd probably be about 10-20pounds.
Also, you could be big boned. Look at my pic, would you guess I weigh 230lbs?
