Considering that I'm a male, 5'8" and weigh 158, I would say you're overweight.

noooo! I'm 5'2 and weigh 120 and i have an atheletic somewhat lean body. I'm a size 2. So therefore, if you are 5'8 and are only 30 pounds heavier with 6 inches..you are not overweight!! You should weight at the least 140 at the most 160. (this is a healthy weight) However if you weighed 140 you would get a higher metabolism and feel better about yourself! Hope this helps beautiful girl!!

Your BMI is 23. Normal is 19 to 24 so you are not overweight. But if you looked good to yourself, you would not have asked so you should lose weight even though you are not overweight.
Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Find out about fastest way to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad carbs, water retention and secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event.
Reading a book will take you hours but the information on a post, taking minutes to read, is not enough. The webpage below has just enough to know what you need to know. Links page has gov. BMI calculater to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age). Learn how to nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat.

No 150 is a healthy weight. If you were over 160 then maybe you would be overweight.

it is truly difficult to say if someone is overweight by just Height and Weight..... that does not take in consideration of muscle mass, or bone mass... Just make sure your active and work out and eat as healthy as u can.... 150 doesnt seem too heavy for 5'8" but there is always room for improvement

whatever you do, its the nutrition that plays a mojor role in weight management. Its like having the right fuel to drive your vehicle:
Men1"=1kg=2.2lbs and women 1"=800gms=1.76lbs standard weight
Fat% men 16% and women 26% upto age 39ys
Calorie intake:- 2000-2200 for men and 1500-1800 for women
Now you guess

You sound all right to me. In fact you sound deliciously just right. A lot depends on your stature. Are you "flabby" or muscled? A lot depends on that. Either way, don't sweat the small stuff. If you're happy...it doesn't matter.

you are probably slightly, but not very overweight. a lot of it has to do with your body type. and if you have muscle.
dont listen to anyone who tries to tell you to use the body mass index (BMI) even doctors say it is inacurate.
if you're worried, talk to your doctor, or just to be healthy, make sure you eat all the food groups, dont overeat, and get a good amount of exercise.

No, not at all. You'd have to weigh over 165lb to be considered overweight. HTH : )
