Your BMI is 25.6
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
You are barely overweight.

Your current Body Mass Index is 25.6 kg/m2, which is considered slightly overweight. The ideal weight for someone your height is 122, with a weight range of 109 - 136. So your not far off the reccomended weight :)

I'd say it depends on how much muscle you have. Women typically aren't overly muscular so I'm inclined to say you are a little overweight but don't stress yourself out. Being overweight does have some side effects but if you are content with your body don't stress numbers.

According to the Height Weight Table you would be considered 3 pounds too heavy.

No. but if you are concerned...look up Body Mass Index or the Real Age Test on the internet...they are really good sites that provide you with information regarding your health.

The weight table I checked says 120 lbs is ideal.

if you look at the calculator to tell you what you should be they will probally say yes but they want people to be rail thin. im sure you look great for your size and weight, in the end its how you feel if you feel overweight then you are in your eyes and that is all that matters

Just a little. Try going for walks, and cut out on the sweets. Best advice for everyone.
