Question Posted Tuesday February 26 2008, 10:34 pm
Well, I'm 5'6 1/2" and I weigh somewhere around 135-140. I was just wondering if that's average or overweight? A lot of people say,"Oh my gosh, you're a stick! You look like you weigh 110 pounds!" but I know that I'm not that skinny, I look like it, but I'm not. So, am I overweight for my height!? Thank you!

A teacher told me once that your ideal weight is the weight that you feel most comfortable at, not necessarily a range of numbers. As far as what people say about your weight... don't listen to them because they don't know what's best for you; only you do. [ uisforukelele's advice column | Ask uisforukelele A Question ]

Last I check your weight is healthy.
If you're that worried there's a site...
