NO!
god no.
you should weigh 100lbs at a height of 5 ft.
and then add another 5lbs for every inch after that.

so actually you are underweight.
if you are worried about having a high percentage of fat in your body you can go to a local gym and they will calculate you body fat percentage.

Answer 3

You are not overweight at all...and i know how difficult it is to struggle with weight because I have struggled with anorexia and bulimia for that past 2 years. Here is a way to tell if you are at an "ideal weight" for every 5 ft. of a woman they should weigh 100lbs. After that you add one pound for every extra inch. For example I am 5'1' so I should weigh about 105lbs.

Answer 4

No you are perfect. It is supposed to be 100 lbs for 5 feet and 5 lbs for every lb after that so you can go up to 130 and still be just right.

Answer 5

I am 5-4 and 125 myself and people tell me all the time I am too skinny! I am sure you are beautiful! Don't let people tell you you are overweight. If you are happy with yourself, that is all that matters.

Answer 6

No, of course not!

Here's what you should do:

For at LEAST 5 months (better for your whole life), dont even come near a scale. Only base your opinion of whether you are overweight or underweight on how you actually look.

This is related to psycology.
A very common mistake people make is obsessing with their weight. If they wake up one morning, and theyve gained 1 pound, they wont figure it out untill they actualy weigh themselves. Then when they look in the mirror, they start to "notice" "changes" and start believing that just one pound makes them look "fatter". This is just how the mind works.

Also, note that some people have heavier bones. It's completely true. My sister is shorter and skinnier than me, but she weights a couple of pounds more than me. It was sort of a mystery to us, so she brought it up once at her doctor, and he said this is a possible explanation.


But trust me, if you dont pay attention to your weight, your life will be MUCH easier. Of course, watch your food, and eat healthy. If you decide that you look a little rounder, set up an excersise program for a little while untill you look like your old self again. Don't trust scales!




Love yourself for who you are! Things like this only cause more stress, and can increase your chances of stress related illnesses.

Life is better when you dont let the little things bother you. Consider trying this and you will see.

;) hope I helped!
