I am 19 years old---5'5'' and about 125-130 pounds--I am very big chested as well (naturally)! After being on yahoo answers and I have seen what people are asking about weight--and I feel horrible about my size! I feel so fat!! I heard of a girl yesterday that was 5'7'' and was 100 pounds wanting to be 97pounds! I know that's extreme---but honestly--do I need to lose some weight? Be honest please, I am really worried about his now! Thanks to all who answer!!

you are NOT fat, hon. i'd say u are almost perfect! to tell u the truth, that girl who wanted to be 5'7" and 97 lbs. must have a death wish because that is SO unhealthy! i am 5'1" and weigh 118 lbs. I sometimes feel like i am fat, but who doesn't these day? then i put on my cutest clothes, my hottest makeup, and go to the mall and love how the guys are all over this!! haha! we all have times when we think we look a way we don't want to and it helps to hear from someone else how good we really look. the ppl comin on here trynna weigh negative lbs. are just super insecure and YOU have no reason to be insecure. if i eve grow more, which i doubt since puberty is pretty much over for lil ol me, i hope to stay in the 120 range, and u are already there. You must look absolutely gorgeous, i don't evn hafta hear it from you- and if it helps you feel better, go somewhere wit ya gurls and show off that amazing body to the world, girl!!! hope i helped... have a fantastic day..
love, RA

You are a PERFECT size for your height and weight. Don't let people who are obsessed with being stick thin make you feel overweight! If you check your BMI (body mass index), 5'5" at 125 pounds comes in at an index of 20.8. Normal range is 18.5 to 24.9 ... so you're right in the middle. Even at 130, you're still only at 21.6.
Most guys don't particularly want their girlfriends to be bony, though some are stuck on the supermodel look, but who cares? You're just right. Part of your weight (from what you said) has to be in your chest, anyway, and hey, that's not at all bad!

Raven,
My nick names included Chester and Dolly Parton's look alike. Your weight sounds right for you. Don't worry about what others think. Or say.
I am quite heavy to probably about 155lbs but I am in great shape because I work hard and walk alot. Turn your focus away from what you think people are thinking and towards what makes you feel good about you.
Your life will be more rewarding and enjoyable because if you like yourself so will others. If this is not enough then become a vegatarian. I work with organic food and eat my weight in fresh produce each month. I feel great and I have tons of energy to burn.

Just because your weight is perfect for your age and height doesn't mean it is perfect for you. You need to do what ever you think will make you the most comfortable in yourself. Don't listen to anyone else. Numbers and measurements mean nothing. they are just numerals. What matters is how you feel. If you are not happy do something about it if you are don't get swayed by what other people say. They have their own issues.

Young lady when I met my wife she was 5'5" and 127lbs and well endowed as you -- we have been married 32 years --- your size and appearance are good attributes but your ability to accept yourself as well as you accept others is the winning factor here and in the future remember Happy people make Happy things Happen ,be yourself and all else will come too.

That's a very good weight for a young woman of your height. You shouldn't obsess about this if you're healthy, active and have good energy. Live.

well if its never been an issue before i dont see why its an issue now. you dont have trouble picking up guys with a rack like that i imagine. so i wouldnt worry about it. if you want to tone your body and begin a workout regiment i think you should for the health benifets.

no way! unless, you have no muscle at all and it's all fat! I'm 5'7 and I way 150. I'm not fat at all. Infact lately, my family has been telling me I'm starting to look too skinny.
