This is not a healthy weight (which you know). Let me be you honest answerer. One of your replies below is absolutely correct "You see plenty of big girls with boyfriends, right? So obviously, there are a lot of guys who either like it or don't think it's a factor in whether a girl's attractive or not" and another "there are plenty of skinny girls who are a complete and utter disappointment, so please don't assume that weight is the one deciding factor in a relationship."
And also the key is to feel comfortable and happy with ourself (so you losing weight "for you" is perfect).
However, MORE guys will prefer it if you are properly HWP (ie in proportion) and that means at you height 130lbs really. TONS of guys will like you (bad chioce of word!) but more tons will like you lighter and fitter.
The true but brutal thing is (apologies) is that more and better looking and more alpha guys will like you lighter. Maybe you won't mind but your overall choice of guy improves with a lower BMI. No pressure - you'll find a perfectly nice, attractive good guy who love you for you at 207 lbs but you'll be able to choose from more guys at 130lbs. Your call.
Finally, you're exercising too much. No wheat, no processed carbs, no sugar, no potatoes, more fat (yes really), more eggs, more vegetables, more oily fish. And only 20 - 25 min exercise a day will do it BUT make that exercise much more intense - you MUST pant heavily at the end of it. Your current "50 to 130 minutes a day about 5 or 6 days a week" is uneccessary. Some internet research will help on this. Take 11 months to get down to 130. Say 8lbs per month for 2012. Do it with a friend - much easier.
Let me first start by saying... that there are plenty of skinny girls who are a complete and utter disappointment, so please don't assume that weight is the one deciding factor in a relationship.
You have quite the generic question, so simply put, there are TONS of guys who want you.
Here's the deal... you have to feel comfortable with yourself first.
If you are always trying to be something you are not, or something you'll never be, then you'll never be happy.
Do go ahead and get healthy if you want to, but do it for yourself, not because society tricks you into thinking it will all the sudden solve all your problems if you're a twig. that's utter b.s. It's great to exercise a few times a week and will make you happier, and you'll probably live a lot longer... but don't take it to extremes, that's what TV is for :)
Believe me, if you have confidence in yourself, you can bag just about any guy you want. Just get out there and accept yourself as a beautiful individual, because you are!
Thank you for asking this question! I'm in the same boat! I'm trying to lose weight as well! I know this doesn't apply to the question, but if you have any tips for losing weight, please share then with me!

You see plenty of big girls with boyfriends, right? So obviously, there are a lot of guys who either like it or don't think it's a factor in whether a girl's attractive or not. I've been attracted to all different body types.
By the way, the phrase "healthy weight for my height" is misleading because, contrary to what BMI tells you, there's no objective "correct" weight to be. It depends on the person. So, go ahead and keep doing what you're doing, but don't rely on the scale as an indicator of how healthy you are! Go get check-ups (blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, etc.), it's worth it. My girlfriend is actually the one who opened my eyes to this. She's about the same size as you and she's one of the healthiest people I know, because she takes care of herself.
There are always exceptions out there but in general guys are turned off by the idea of a girl who takes being overweight (or thin) to the point where it is very obviously unhealthy. That's not to say it's a deal breaker (although for a lot it is) but it is still considered unattractive.
The bottom line here is healthy = attractive.
You can do it though. I've lost 117 lbs =) I know it can be done and if you stick with it you can.
I wouldn't mind having a girlfriend who were had a few extra pounds, that's normal. I'm not saying this because I'm being mean, but weighing in at 207 lbs whilst being only 5,2. That's pretty big, not just out of a "pretty" perspective but also from a health perspective.
I'm glad to hear that you are trying to lose it though, good luck ^^

Men like overweight girls as much as girls like shorter men.
