What weight do you consider to be fat?

Question

Lets not forget here, There is no single weight that means fat. It depends on SO many factors, I. e your height, The size and mass of your organs, Your bone width and size, Like, Look at this, All these girls weigh 154lbs yet none look the same

I mean, A better indicator would be your BMI (Body Mass Index), But even that can be misleading because it dosen't take muscle mass into account (Which effects guys more then girls because biologically men have more muscle mass then women).
Use this BMI calculator to get a good idea > www.nhlbi.nih.gov/.../bmicalc.htm

And honestly, You shouldn't need a number to consider yourself 'fat', Being 'fat' is judged far more easily by looking at yourself then by relying on the numbers on a scale.

You have to look at BMI (Body Mass Index) for that. A 5'9" person weighing 190 pounds isn't going to be considered fat... but a 3'6 child weighing 190lbs... we might have a problem. BMI is the key to determining obesity.

There isn't really a specific weight.
The general rule is 5'0 you should be 100 IBS, 5'1 should be 105, 5'2 should be 110, 5'3 115, 5'4 120 etc...

HOWEVER, I have a friend who's quite petite and she weighs like 140 but has a lot of muscle and looks very athletic (can bench like 300 :0)
It really depends. You'd need to show me a picture for me to judge. Also, there's a huge difference between being a curvy girl, and simply being over-weight

As said by others, look at the bmi. A healthy range is between 20 and 25. Above is fat. But its not holy. If you are very muscular and low fat, a bmi of 26 may still be healthy, while if you carry a lot of fat, a bmi of 21 may be unhealthy. Combine bmi with a muscle/fat measurement.

It depends on the person because there are so many factors to consider. Take height for example. On a tall girl 60-65kg is a nice thin body and on a short girl that same weight means a chubby stomach and thick thighs and big arms. It really depends on the person

It's more about the body fat then the weight for me - also the measurements and how it all looks put together. =)

You can really say a specific weight like 180 lbs might be fat at one height but skinny at another height. It also depends on if they have a lot of muscle as well. If they do then they will weigh more than you think but will be quite fit.
