You know...I wouldn't say fat by any stretch of the imagination. So what does that put you into a size 6 or 8. At least your still in the single digits. I would not say that is fat for a woman. You are probably not a skinny little rail....don't sweat it. If you are worried about your body...maybe it is time to tone up. Do a little working out you will be fine. Don't worry about the number on the scale worry about your health.

It depends really. How are the woman's proportions? If she is totally flat in the front and the back with no hips, she would be a lot more attractive 15-20 pounds lighter. Does the woman have very small features (wrists, ankles, other bone structure, etc.) and this size? Unless this is the case, women are better off voluptuous. It is much more attractive.

Are you crazy. I am 5' 4" and 160 lbs, I may be a little overweight, but I know that there are so many more that are my height and weight more than me. I would love to lose 20 lbs and weight 140 lbs, but I am healthy and it is not that big of a deal. The average size for a woman today is 14, no joke, there are more full figured women out there than skinny minnies. Be proud of who you are and just stay healthy.

Well, i'm 5'5" and 105, but im also a small frame, but when i do get my weight checked, they said that the maximum average weight is 142 for our height, so i think you're fine! Even a little over 142 would also be good, they always make those things so low.

I don't know the answer to this, scientifically. Search for "body mass index calculator" and put in your height and weight if you want to know the scientific answer to this question. But if you just mean, "Do you think I look fat?" the answer is no. And I'm not just saying that to be polite. I think that's just about a perfect weight for your height, actually. Right in the middle of a range of weight that I would say was just fine, say 125-155. I'm so sick of people thinking that women have to weigh 95 pounds to be pretty. It's unnatural, and I don't know who started it but it needs to stop. Sorry for preaching, I know you just asked a simple question :)

No, sounds about right, but the best way to tell is to get a body fat analysis. Hospitals and fitness centers often have free testing days. This analysis will tell you what percentage of your body weight is fat. This is much better than going on size alone.

Morgan you are fine. I used a BMI (Body-Mass Index) calculator and found your score and it gave a value of 23.0 which is 2 below the overweight limit. You must have a very appealling figure fellow answerer, lol. My BMI is 27 so i'm a fatso!!!

For a 5ft5 woman with a medium frame, between 120lb and 135lb, but you are pretty close.
HTH : )

Your bmi is healthy and Im sure you look fine. You probably look average. Not fat. I know,bc Im 5ft3 and my bmi says Im normal weight until I get to 140. Aside from pregnancy, the biggest I ever got was 130 and I was okay even then,just a little meaty.
