No you are not fat, at that height and weight it is perfectly normal and healthy. If you weighed around 160-170 you would be in an unhealthy range but still wouldn't be considered obese. Don't worry about such things because one day you'll be old and things like that won't matter any more so enjoy being 135 pounds!

No, you're not. Just because your friends believe they're fat doesn't mean they are, and it doesn't mean you are-- all it means is they have poor body images. But being fat or thin is different than being in good shape-- how long does it take you to run a mile? How's your muscle tone? Are you flexible? If you focus on fitness and what your body can do, your body will naturally look its best. And muscle is more compact than fat, and weighs more, so weight is often just a number and not a real indication of fitness. (And if all your friends can talk about is how fat they are-- and I've had friends like that-- change the subject or find new, more interesting people to hang out with).

I'm not surprised you feel fat when you have all your friends around you complaining of feeling fat and they weigh less than you! Everything is relative. Think of it this way, if you were a 6ft boy and all your friends were 6ft4, and complaining they weren't tall enough, you'd probably feel short, even though 6ft is pretty tall.
Please don't worry, your weight is actually ideal for your height. Just be confident and when your friends start complaining of being fat, try to change the subject or go talk to some other friends that aren't discussing weight issues. Take care and hope this helps : )

What is it with all these young girls asking if they are fat???? Your weight is good for your height just like most of the other girls who post questions like that. Every person at some point in their life goes through a phase when they think they are fat even though they are the perfect weight.. very common in high school girls who are faced with the pressure to look and dress and act perfectly or like everyone else. Dont worry honey, you are not fat just young and insecure. You'll grow out of it just realize you are beautiful no matter what shape or size you come in.

no- I am 5'5'' and 140 pounds. i don't care if anyone thinks I am fat. My husband loves me just the way I am And so do I. I think all women should stop worrying so much about their weight. Be happy with the way the good Lord made you. Also , all the women in Hollywood need to gain weight. They all look like 12 year old boys and that is not natural. We are not supposed to be skinny.

well, if you're friends are anorexic then they'll feel fat regardless of how much they weight. You are fine. 135 lbs for 5'6 is perfect! you do not need to gain or lose any weight. getting new friends would help! and also have your own opinion, do not listen to idiots. if you like the way you look - why would you care what others think?

If its all muscle, then no. Don't assume your health by a scale, there could be a healthy 300 pound girl, as long as it was all muscle, check out ur abs, if you can pull a lot of fat, then yes u r, but if there is a six pack and your ripped, then your defiantly not fat.

Hi i think that you are not fat, im 5'7 and my weight's 150, the reason that u weight more is that ure tall (like me), i always've thinked that im fat but no yet because i consulted an expert and he told me that im in my ideal weight other reason can be because many times our bons are so heavy. So live happy and dont worry about ur weight.
PS: sorry for my english, im from Mexico :d good luck!

you have a BMI (body mass index) of 21.5, which is right in the middle of the normal weight rnage for your height...you're not fat! If you feel fat, try some strengthening and toning excersizes like yoga or pilates!!Your friends are probably anorexic or have body image issues.

You are not fat. You are my target weight. You friends are too skinny (if they weigh less than you and are the same height).
