She's a wee bit overweight. Probably wears a size 8 or 10.
ADDENDUM FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T THINK 140lbs IS OVERWEIGHT FOR A 5' PERSON.
Do a quick BMI calculation and you will see that she's over 25 BMI units. That is considered to be overweight. The cutoff for normal is 24.9 units. I said WEE BIT. I didn't call her obese. But it's worth noting because people develop unhealthy habits and the problem escalates.
We are in a WOMEN'S HEALTH forum. Face it, obesity is a significant women's health issue. A few minor steps to adjust our lifestyles can save us a lot of work later on down the line. It's a matter of prevention. Don't stick your heads in the sand. Keeping your weight down now can ensure fewer complications with gestational diabetes, healthier pregnancies, less severe menopause symptoms and lowered risks of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.
It feels nice to pat ourselves on our backs and say it's okay to be 20lbs over. But hey, if we can drop a few and boost our health, why not celebrate that, too? Denial isn't nearly as healthy for our bodies.
Also, sizes have been recalibrated in the last few years. The new size 8 is the old size 12. Seriously.

No, no longer plausible. do not even attempt. length 0 isn't strong no remember what some human beings say. women that skinny appear as if skeletons! length 8 or 10 seems a lot more beneficial positive. eat a strong food plan and get an excellent variety of exercising and your weight will pass down. dropping 20 pounds will make you seem tremendous. do not attempt to lose a lot more beneficial than that because that's no longer strong for you.

I would say her size is about 5'0 tall and she probably weighs about 130 - 140 lbs.

My size and I'm not overweight or lacking in life. I have never lacked for male attention and I got to choose the cream of the crop. I have an incredibly handsome & sweet husband and two gorgeous babies. I can climb 12 flights of stairs daily with no problem...ignore the charts and the scales. If it concerns ya talk with your normal physician.

size 8 is overweight? That's ridiculous!!
It's not WEIGHT that determines clothing sizes, it's MEASUREMENTS! 130 pounds could be all lean muscle tissue, which could be a 6-8, or she could have a high body fat percentage, which might put her at a 12. She might also wear petite sizes because she has shorter arms and legs than what they design clothes for
