I am 59 and am 5'3" and am 200 lbs. Am I over weight? Of course I am, about 70 lbs. over. But when I weighed 153 when I was 38, I felt fantastic, so it all depends on how you feel at 153 lbs., depending on your body frame and build. I actually have lost 23 lbs., and am wanting to get back down to 155. I'd be happy there; as I am large framed and don't look too bad at 153 lbs., so it really depends on what you feel good. According to the charts, for me, that is overweight. It may well be, but I know I felt good there, and no one thought I was overweight.

No, you are not over weight. Please don't listen to some twig that's telling you that you are over weight. If you lose 20-30 lbs you will be underweight. Everyone don't want to be skinny. Some people just want to be healthy.

If you're a woman, you're overweight. Not morbidly obese, but you should lose 20-30 lbs to be in your ideal weight range. If you're a man, you are ok.

Actually it's not. It's a perfectly acceptable weight for your height. Just don't go over 160lb. HTH : )

Your ideal wieght it 135 lbs (5 pounds for every 5 pounds over 5 feet tall for women!) so yes, a little, but not too bad.
