My BMI says that i am overweight. I have always had issues with my weight, mostly due to what is considered sexy in todays society. i just want other peoples opinion of what i should do? lose weight or stay the way i am. i want to lose weight but my husband doesnt want me to. its more of a self image issue. i think that if i lost weight i would feel better about myself.

In terms of the BMI concept, you are overweight, but not by much. You could stand to lose 7-10 lbs to get back into the "safe" zone. You could do that in two or three months of cutting back on your food and boosting your exercise level a little. Drop 500 calories a day and exercise 30 minutes a day - that will do it. Don't pay much attention to what's sexy or what your husband wants - your long-term health is what's important here, and if your husband's love and respect depends on you being chubby, he's being pretty ignorant and inconsiderate. I agree that your self-image would improve.

If you have self esteem issues they may be more than about your weight. I feel that one should do what they are most comfortable in this area with. Do not lose it to make someone else happy, do not gain it for that reason either. Your husband may feel more insecure if you lose weight and gain more confidence then. He may feel he is losing you then.
You need to talk to him about why you need to do that and if you feel it will make you happier that he should be supportive.
Have the two of you take walks together and eat healthy. It is about being in good health, being that weight and height is not in porportion best but it is not excessive or obese. It is good to have the weight in check though to avoid health risks.

You are a bit on the chunky side. My wife is 5' 8" and at 135 she is overweight. Loose weight. I can't tell you how much but you definitely need to loose some. Try 20 pounds and have a long look at your naked body in a mirror. You can tell when things are right. BTW, my preference runs toward full figured women. Skinny looks sick to me but fat is not good, health wise or appearance wise.
Good luck.

Your weight is a little higher than it should be for your height. But that does not mean you are overweight. If you exercise frequently and have good muscle tone, you are probably fine just the way you are.

you just answered your own question....from the outside looking in no your not overweight and thats just by looking at you.....if your bmi says your overweight then yeah its always good to be healthy, but like you said it all depends on you and your self image, if you wanna look like paris hilton then do it no problem

If you want to lose the excess weight, then do so. You will be healthier and live longer. Why wouldn't your husband want you to be healthy and live a long life?

To be honest, whatever he may be attracted to, you should lose weight. He might like your weight, but it's not worth risking your health. Lose the weight.
