am i chubby?

Question

i'm five six and 140lbs ? is that really bad ?

Answer 1

if u are that must mean i am too . cuz i'm around your weight and hight . it's not unhealthy to be 140 but you'd probably look your very best at 120 or 125 . i'm aiming for 125 .i start my diet next week. wish me luck .

Answer 2

As a matter of fact, that is in your goal weight. 135-140

What factors into that is the size of your frame. This can not be blanketly factored in so are you slight or do you have a larger frame. Knowing that gives you which end of the weight
structure you should fall into.

But remember that is only a guideline. Some people feel more comfortable with a little more weight on them...others don't. I'm glad you haven't fallen for the "thinner you are the better you are/look" falacy that has dominated in the past

I bet you look great! Don't ask if you are chubby...just see if you are eating healthy, getting enough sleep and exercise ..the rest will follow

Answer 3

Absolutely NOT! 5 feet 6 inches is a pretty good height for 140lbs. If you were 5 feet 1 or 2 inches then that would be a little chubby. You are perfect at that weight and don't let anyone tell you different.
Have a wonderful day!

I dated a lady once that was 5' 4" and 140. She had a perfect body. Athletic, but just the right curves in just the right places.
I would not have changed a hair on her head or an ounce on her body. It didn't work out for a whole host of totally unrelated issues though.
If you stay active, and feel good, don't even worry about it.
You could probably carry another 10 lbs and it wouldn't be noticeable even.

If someone called you chubby, they are nuts.

Just my opinion.

Answer 5

No, shouldn't be. You are within the healthy range calculated from your BMI. However, you may look chubby if your body has an unbalanced proportion of fat deposits i.e. tend to deposit in one or few areas only such as face, arms, etc. Don't be discouraged. If this is the case, you can always choose an exercise routine that will help you to sculpt your body and tone your muscles. However, this is based on other people's opinion on you or rather from yourself, as long as you keep within the healthy range and are happy, don't put much thought into it. The bottom line is just be yourself, be happy and keep fit.

Answer 6

Girl No......That is okay. Nobody wants a stick figure all of the time. Trust me.. I am 5'10 and 140 lbs. I am small and I have always been. To me , you are just fine because I have alot of troubles too. Although I did benefit from being tall by doing modeling, my clothes are so hard to find.Not to metnion the fact that it was sooo hard trying to find guys that weren't intimidated by my height. and my clothes were hard to find because if they fit my waist, they were to short. and if they were long enough, they were to big. So girl, try to recognize the blessings in being your height and weight. Don't depend on other people's opinions of you. Some people may admire your size and weight....Good Luck!!!

Answer 7

To find out if you're over weight do the following:

Devide your weight (in kgs) into your height to the power 2.
If the number u get is between 18 and 29 you're normal,if the number is 30 or more,you're obese

So by the way, what's Ibs?? whats that in kgs?

Answer 8

not too bad, at your height, 120-130 is pretty hot. If I were u I would definitely try to lose 15-20 pounds. It's not that hard and you will be so greatful that you did.

Answer 9

no you are not chubby but you should weight 130 o 135 the most. chubby is when you have love handles and your face is like big but you dont sound big at all. let's say you are average. I'm the fat one. I'm 5'8 and I weight 150!!! but I'm sooooooooo working on it.I'm running 6km everyday, sometimes 5 (because it gets too dark that I dont feel comfortable).
but if you have to ask is because you dont feel comfortable, if you dont, then exercise but dont torture yourself.

Answer 10

Nope it's not bad at all. The funny thing my g/f has a little more weight than you and the same height and I thinks she's perfect!
