I weighed 125 before I got married. I feel fat sometimes and I dont know if I will ever get comfortable with this weight. I want to drop down to 130/135. But if I never get there should I just be happy with weighing 140?

No, you shouldn't lose weight! If you've ever calculated your Body Mass Index (or BMI), it would show that your weight is well within the normal range for your height. You shouldn't feel uncomfortable with your weight at all; I'm only 5'1" and weigh 115 pounds--complete with a little pot belly and I love it. I think the most important thing is to just feel healthy and happy with yourself. But honestly, you are fine just the way you are!

It is totally up to you. At 5ft7 and 140lb, your weight is certainly fine, but if you have a smaller frame and have always weighed less up until now, it may be difficult to get used to. I'd say going back down to 130/135 is more realistic than going back down to your original weight. Have you gained the weight because you are eating more or are more sedentary. Try to make some lifestyle changes, such as more healthy eating and more exercise and the weight should just drop off. HTH : )

It depends.
If you have a high muscle percentage, then you'll look skinny at 140. If you have a high body fat percentage, you'll look chubby at 125.
I'd suggest exercising, and look to lose inches instead of pounds.
And, be happy with yourself, that's the best way to keep yourself motivated to look good.

You should probably lose a couple of pounds, prob 20 lbs. I don't think it should be all that bad weighing 140 with your heigh, but who knows, thats just me.

I guess my question would be "Do you feel healthy? Energetic?". If you feel good about yourself who cares what the scale says? Healthy is not a number. I think 140lb and fit sounds great and if you feel good even better.
