Is 145 lbs at 5'5 too big?

[Purplehaze33]

A lot of guys tell me i'm too big, they're usually 5'10+ and they say they only like women 5'2 and under that are very skinny like 100 lbs or less. Am I too big?

[Slartybartfast]

There are a lot more women in the world under 100 pounds then men over 6' tall and I know many women who openly say they won't date a guy shorter than 6' . (I'm six two so it's actually in my favor I usually like taller women)

That said, 145 at 5'5' isn't all that bad.

My ex was 5'10" around that weight and I had to constantly tell men she was married although we used to joke 30 pounds of that was in her breasts.

Understand around here people are tall so 5'5" is short to me even for women.

[Slartybartfast]

p. s. you are in better shape than 99.99999 of women in my area
5'7" 230 is more common, most women online here are 300+ and want a millionare.

Well the average weight for a 5'5 Female is 120 to 140... so those guys are full of shit. Do not worry about those losers, because 145 is a totally healthy weight for a 5'5 female.

Obese for 5'5 female is not until you get to 170 lbs... anything between 145 to 165 is technically over weight... but seriously 145 is barely registers as overweight and a lot of guys find women with a little meat on the bone extremely sexy. So these assholes telling you that your are over weight are not worth your time or energy.

@DaveJord I know it's ridiculous. I'm thin and people can tell just by looking at me that I'm not overweight. BMI is really stupid and the people that actually take it seriously are delusional. Weight is just a number on a scale. It's more about body fat. I really do not have much body fat.

[DaveJord]

@Cherry234 I agree.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Accurate

[Cherry234]

No. I'm literally the same size as you lol. I'm slim too. What a coincidence. 😂 There's a guy that will appreciate you regardless of your height and weight.

[Frank_90]

Nice, I like how you look like

[Cherry234]

Thank you

[BBrooke_2002]

Not at all, that's completely healthy. Don't let anyone define you :)

[SlothySlob]

By CDC's BMI calculator, the presented stats result in a 24.1 BMI, or "healthy". They also stated that for your height the range is between 111lbs and 150. Now the only problem is know where your body likes to deposit fat. If it's in your waist, you're the bad kind big, if it's in your hips and ass or tits, you're the good kind of big.

[Danny_dan92]

Mm… I would say only by a few lbs honestly. Putting this into perspective for every inch a woman has that’s roughly 1.5 lbs. age also matters as well.




My sister for example is 5’3 and weighs like 120 I believe. So you being 5’5 and 143 is like 5-6 lbs overweight

[artstatues]

She isn't. That's a BMI of 24, which falls within the normal/healthy range

[Danny_dan92]

Yeah? I mean I don't know. I only know that a woman at around 5’3-5’2 shouldn’t weigh anymore than 115

[Anonymous]

In my opinion, nope. That's a BMI of 24.1, which falls within the upper end of healthy range (18.5-24.9). Don't listen to Hollywood standards or people who say, that a woman shouldn't weigh more than 120 lbs. Only lose weight for yourself, if you want. Men have different preferences and some of them will like you the way you are

[rocksongwriter]

For those curious as to what 145 lbs. at 5'5 looks like...

[MCheetah]

Neither one of those, that height or weight, is anywhere near "big." The height is short/short-ish on a girl and the weight is medium; five pounds away from a normal woman's weight.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, but its at the max range of normal for that height (unless you have big boobs, then its in the middle, or huge boobs, then its on the low end). Any heavier and its probably unheathly.

[Guy13]

Yes as one of mine is 5’1, 98lbs, and looks like Betty Boop.

Betty Boop is much desirable than Betty Blob

[VikingWarLord]

There's no gawdam reason that anyone under 5'9 should be bigger than 125 lbs.

[Wise4myage]

I think you are over weight, but get a doctors opinion.

[Nahid1707]

Not at all, that's completely healthy. Don't let anyone define you

[Anonymous]

If the weight is from muscle or exercise then the weight is not too big

[skyeee_]

thats a normal weight for 5'5

[dudeinohio]

Sounds like a good weight to me.

[Cowboy6666]

Lol I don't think so. I like taller girls too.

[In_Trance]

you're fine, and old enough to know better

[Anonymous]

At 5’5 you should be around 120

[bigpauly]

No not at all
