From time to time, I have been called overweight by some people but most people think I'm just fine. I appear normal and dont look overweight.
What do you think... is that a good BMI?

If you are happy with yourself then thats all that matters. I was the same way except I am 6'2 so I see where you are coming from.IF youare like me you may be what we call BIG BONED. Dont let the people influence you about your weight. If you are happy with yourself then so be it.

Well that would depend on your body fat.
Many people have muscle and that tends to push a person weight number up the scales. If you have a body fat higher then 30 I would suggest some toning but not weight loss.
At 5'7" you are at a suggestable weight for that height. Just watch your body fat and keep it under 25, for a really healthy body.

If you are happy that's all that matters. Don't get obsessed with the BMI, it is only supposed to be used as a guide.
And besides, lots of bodybuilders are clinically overweight according to the BMI, due to their muscle mass. Very accurate gauge indeed...

sounds perfect. I'm jealous. go to webMD.com to find a weight/height calculator for the BMI. also, the only person who can truly tell you whether you're overweight, and actually know what they're talking about, is your doctor. jsut as long as you try to maintain a healthy diet and exercise, you'll be fine.

I think you are a nice size for you height. Don't let society define you. You have to be happy with yourself. When you are overweight you will know. You will be tired and uncomfortable. You will also feel heavy. I am about the same proportion. I use to be a toothpick and I was very unhappy. I don't like to see bones.

yes
5'7", 145 lbs.
Your BMI score is: 22.7
A BMI score of 18.5 to 24.9 indicates you have a healthy body fat ratio. Remember to keep your healthy lifestyle by eating right and exercising

Our opinions shouldn't matter! It's what's in your heart that counts and what you think of your body. If you're a little concerned try eating a little healthier or exercising a little every now and then. But seriously for your height - you aren't "overweight"
