Am I REALLY overweight???
ok so I weigh 133 pounds, I am 5'1, and I have size G boobs. I have a little extra cushioning around my tummy. I go to the gym regularly for at least 1hr if not 2 hours at least 3 days a week. Every online calculator for BMI, Ideal Weight, Body Fat Percentage, etc. tells me that I am overweight!!! My "ideal" weight is between 100-115 pounds!! I really really think that those calculators are crap because I wear size 27 in jeans and size 2 or 4 in skirts!!! If I was 115 pounds like I'm "ideally" supposed to be, I'd be a size 0 if not less!!! Do you agree with me or am I crazy?? Am I really overweight?? are those calculators crap?? I don't really have THAT much extra cushioning around my stomach, its a little soft but pretty flat though so I guess it really isn't all that extra....

- no you are fine.
- well yeah kind of. BMI is a good indicator. If you carry weight around your tummy that's especially unhealthy.
- It doesn't sound like you are overweight. If you are healthy, then you are the weight you are meant to be... size G boobs though? How do you get out of bed?
- sweetie, if the weight is going to all the right places...who cares! you are fine!
- If you feel good about yourself, and you are working hard and being healthy dont worry about it girl!
- Yeah crap is a kind word i would use. I think ur fine they way u are.
- I am 5'2 and they always tell me that I need to be between 125 and 140 so I think you are just fine!
- You aren't overweight. Don't worry about those crappy computers! And remember to only weight yourself once a month or else you won't see a change in weight after exercising. :)
- If you are wearing 27 jeans and 2-4 in skirts then you are fine...who cares what calculators online say. Are you happy with your weight? If not lose some. If you are then relax and be happy with yourself.
- It sounds like most of your weight is in your breasts. The rest of you sounds small to me based on your waist size. I wouldn't worry about it for another second. You're probably every man's dream.
- no not so .... think that u r perfect then u no need to worry .... wear cloths that suits u ... u ll look great
- well, maybe ur weight only accumulated in u ur boobs. cheer up. at least u r popular amongst the boys. : )
- no, those bmi things are just a rough estimate. I'm 'supposed to weigh just ten pounds more than that, but if i fall below 145, I get sick .
- I think this all BMI and calculators are crap as long as you are working out regularly you don't have to worry about any thing else but take care of fats cushioning your lower abdominal
- i think the question is do you think you are overweight.. many people get caught up on weather or not they are because of charts say they should be a certain thing.. if you are comfortable in your own body then i think you are fine.. it sounds to me where you are is an ok weight.. im 5'3 and no where near 100 and ive suffered from an ED for many many years not to mention many health problems that come with that. size 0 hangs on me id love and that is just recently that ive been able to wear a that .. im trying desperatly to retire my kids cloths and im in my .. no .. im 30 lol.. ok ok 36 sad yes i know. put away the calcutators , charts, and embrace who you are now.. before its 19 years later and 3 heart attacks and a oxygen machine and your living on disablity because you thought that extra cushion around your what ever needed to go.. i thought those extra hours running or at the gym etc wouldnt hurt but now im not only paying for it but so are my children , and ive hurt my body to where it want recover adn i cant put any weight back on .. im sure your beautiful just as you are.
- I think you are fine, you are probably like me, I have never been my ideal weight according to calculators. Years ago I tried to get down to what my ideal weight should be, and I started getting really skinny to the point that my mummy started worrying about me, however when I went to the doctor and he weighed me he told me that I was overweight!!!! I do think that it is true some people are just heavier boned, so long as you feel good about yourself don't worry too much about what the calculators say.
- It seems to me like most of your extra weight is in your boobs. Especially if you are a 27 or a 2 or 4. So I wouldn't really go by the BMI index that it says for your height. your breast size is not really that normal for someone your height and for the rest of your body structure. Sounds fine to me.
