No ....you probably carry the weight well by being so tall. Obese would be 5' 5" and weighing 190-200 Go check your BMI at a weight loss page.

In no way are you obese! By converting your height and weight to 1.7m abd 81.6kg, your body mass index (BMI) is 28 which is in the moderate range for women aged 20-29.
The BMI is weight (kg) / (height (m))^2
The ranges for females 20-29 are:
excellent - 18
good - 18.1-23
moderate - 23.1-28
overweight - 28.1-33
significantly overweight - >33
So to keep in the moderate range your weight should be 66.7-81kg (147-180lbs) and you are not obese until you get to 95kg (209lbs)
You are healthy girl! :)

the reports say that obese is 100lbs or more above your hieght wieght. So i would say no. But being that I am 5'9" and my height weight is 160 I would say that it might be a good idea to take off some wieght, just to be healthy.

Not by any means, especially if you have a lot of muscle on you.
