Yes that is fat. However Id just tell her to check one of those online weight to height programs to find out for herself and to quit bugging you.

Apparently your friend thinks she IS fat, so even though you think she looks fine she probably keeps asking you because she thinks you are being dishonest, even though you're not. She obviously has some self-esteem issues. The next time she asks just tell her if she's so obsessed with it and if it's such an issue for her then why doesn't she do something about it? 163lbs. is NOT obese for 5' 7" tall, but she must feel that she needs to lose a few.

I am almost the same.. I am 5.6 and I weigh 155... A little bit fat but not obese... Need some excercise...
And try to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) to know if she is within the safe range or not....

She knows shes a bit overweight. She just wants you to make her feel better about herself by telling her she's not. Really though at that weight she doesn't have anything to worry about. She should just watch what she eats and exercise occassionally. Simple as that.

Not obese, but your friend IS slightly overweight. The ideal weight for her height would be 133-147 pounds.
Have a nice day.

just be hones tto her, dont hesitate when answering to her, and help her, even if she asks a million times, have the answer a million times. help her through this, tell her, maybe we can walk longer together, or run together once in a while, that weight is pretty high for a female in that height, your doing her a favor.

No she is not fat. I have a daughter-in-law that is about 5 foot and weighs about 200 pounds. Now she is fat.

She's not obese. She's just a lil overweight, she should lose around 15-20 lbs.

Tell her you think she looks great and that it really bothers you when she asks you about her looks all the time. Tell her you'd rather talk about other things. And if that doesn't work, next time she asks, tell her yes, you' re huge. She probably won't ask you again.

at 5'7 she should be closer to 135-140, so she should lose some weight. if she has large bone structure, she could be just fine. I would not call her obese. if she's so worried, she should make sure to eat right and get daily exercise.
