Hello all,
I'm 5' 8" and weigh 147... I've always been kinda self conscious about myself. My family and friends (obviously) say "no way!! you're not fat!! youre a beautiful girl!!" and it makes me feel good, but I dont know if theyre just saying that for my benefit...
I wear a size 8 jean and a small/medium shirt size...Am i overweight??? or normal???
Please be honest!!

At 5' 8" that's a quite acceptable weight. Combined with being a size 8 jean and small/medium shirt, I'd say you're pretty average. Toning up your body a bit may help you feel better but it's probably not necessary for health reasons. Losing much weight would probably be a bad idea, if you feel you're out of shape, you should concentrate on building endurance and muscle tone, not losing weight.

i'm your height(5'9 precisely) and weigh 148. I merely had somewhat one some months in the past yet did not income a lot. I do imagine the height enables by some potential! LOL. besides, I miss being one hundred thirty. i desire to be so back. I have a narrow construct. i imagine a tones 137 will be powerful, too. i don't love how my outfits in tremendous condition even as i'm any heavier than 100 thirty 5 without being toned.

Forgive me for saying so, but you wear a size 8 jeans and a size small/medium shirt? How could that ever be considered overweight? Of course you are not overweight. Check out this chart if you don't believe me.

The ideal weight for a 5'8" woman is between 124 and 158 lbs, so you're right where you need to be! And even if you weren't, size 8 and small/medium is NOT FAT!!!

126-154 lbs. is a normal weight range for your height and age. So your weight is normal, and you are not overweight. A size 8 and small/medium shirt is fine. You are perfect!

For age between 18-30 (as i suppose u r)
for 5'8" normal weight is between (146 and 169)
so don't lose even one pound of your weight or you will be slim
you are in the lower limit of normal weight

Just have your bodyfat % measured at a gym or a doctors. That's the only way to know if your FAT. "Overweight" is subjective due to how much fat weight you carry. If your at 20-30% BF then yes, you're definetly "overweight" and should lose bodyfat. I know many FAT skinny people.

You sound fine to me. Your BMI is 22.4, which is good and your clothes size sound perfect for your height. I'm sure when your family and friends tell you that you are a beautiful girl, it's because you probably are. Take care : )
