You are the very middle of overweight.

But, you are not obese! This is your silver lining for today. You should apparently be 20 lbs less.
Don't start throwing up though and not eating at all, because that doesn't help.
Decreasing your sugar intake DOES, however.

Well I am 151 lbs at the same height and I am considered overweight, if not fat. I'm sorry... It's not excessively overweight, but still. If you wanna change go for it :) I've already started

[JulieXO]

I would say yes. Check your BMI www.nhlbi.nih.gov/.../bmicalc.htm
A picture might be helpful ^^ I'm your height and about 127, and some people even tell me I'm chunky...

[Mesonfielde]

Those people have never seen a woman

@Mesonfielde
Can't help being surrounded by skinny people XD

[BertMacklinFBI]

I would normally say check your BMI but 160 lbs for 5'4 sounds overweight regardless of BMI.

Hit the gym boo boo. Go for high rep circuits. They tone muscle and burn tons of calories. (Running is also something that can really make difference) Also limit what your taking in make sure it clean cut foods. Low fat, moderate complex carbs, moderate protein. Also eat often this will speed your metabolism.

[JulieXO]

Ever had wight problems yourself? Cuz getting thin ain't as easy as you make it sound

[ClauseViter]

Nothing in life is easy. Its about commitment to a result. If really desire something I believe you have to persue it with rigorous intent. I'm a boxer and everyday I wake up sore from taking hits or getting beat up but I smile cause its something I truly wanna persue. I take my workouts seriously and and the results have been awesome. I hope you can instill a similar sense of dedication.

I think you are. For your age and height. You should be around 110-135. Depending on muscle, fat, and bone mass.

[CrazyMinta]

There's website which states the average and healthy size your age and height person should be. I think that's the only answer you need.

[sovetskii13]

Yes you are. Try losing like 30 pounds if you wanna be the ideal weight for your body.

[lordAlex818]

yeah, you are. Not sure what the exact BMI is, but there's no way that's within the healthy range.

[VanillaSalt]

BMI = body mass index... its a way of figuring how much weight u should be at a specific height... its used to dose drugs and determine obesity

[lordAlex818]

Um... okay?

[Anonymous]
