Am I considered fat?

[jess_ess]

I'm 5 ft 3 in (161cms) and 180 lbs (82 kgs). Am I fat?

[AlanJ17M4F]

What would make you think you are fat? I truly believe a person, girl. boy. young. or old, knows if they are fat or not. But really what is fat? I mean who's to say what is and isn't? T. V? Magazines? Internet? Only we as people can decide if we are beautiful. There's no fat, or skinny, muscular or flabby, everyone is different. If you think you are.. whatever... then that's what you are. Hope this helps or something lol

[jess_ess]

Because im short and kinda overweight but people say i dont look fat

[AlanJ17M4F]

And I'm sure you are not, @jess_ess if you feel good then you are good, ya feel me?

[QuietRunner]

fat - probabaly

f*ck you== yes I would

[Anonymous]

Yes and there’s no way around it. Your BMI is 32, which is obese by NHS standards. It might affect your health so I would advise you only lose a few pounds or so for your health. Otherwise it doesn’t matter.

[Anonymous]

Your BMI is 31.9. A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. The calculator I used: www.cdc.gov/.../bmi_calculator.html

[jess_ess]

Thank you. Guess I should start to workout huh.

[Opinion Owner]

Your goal should be 140 pounds which would put you into the healthy BMI range :)

[jess_ess]

Alright thanks again.

[Opinion Owner]

Working out is more important for building muscle. Portion control and caloric consumption are more important for weight loss.

[jess_ess]

Oh ok

[Opinion Owner]

To lose weight, it's as simple as making sure you consume fewer calories than you expend. Don't trust food labels because the FDA allows for a 20% misrepresentation of calories with no penalties. In addition, while I do not recommend starving yourself (do NOT do this), feeling a bit hungry is ok as you accustom yourself to smaller, healthier portion sizes.

[Opinion Owner]

And happy to help!

[jess_ess]

Again thank you. Should I see a dietist?

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, it could be a good idea! A nutritionist or dietician might be able to advise an eating plan for you, and regular contact with them may also be the structure you need to keep you on track.

[Sonorous]

Well I'm 6', have dense bones &/or organs, and weigh 170 so there's probably a good bit of fat on you.

Let me know if you ever want to lose it though because I know d weigh.

[jess_ess]

i wanna lose it of coirse

[Sonorous]

It's simple. Someone could work out & do intense cardio, but if they don't burn more calories than they eat, they'll pack on more weight. So you must burn more calories than you consume. And you do that by mainly eating for the energy you need. It becomes easier when your hormones (like ghrelin & leptin) are more stabilized.

They become that way when you eat foods that don't unnecessarily spike your blood sugar levels. So that will require that you eat, dense, healthy, unprocessed foods with a balanced glycemic load. And you can even do different food combinations to balance out the load. For instance, before I eat a banana, I like to eat eggs because they have a good amount of protein in them. So it won't spike my hormones as high as if I ate the banana first.

I find my deficit & surplus over time with tracking my calories through an app called "myfitnesspal." It's especially good for logging foods with barcodes. Your goal should be to get a general idea of what your caloric deficit would be & to start slowly reducing caloric intake while having the recommended levels of micro & macronutrients.

^ For sustainability, they say not to reduce more than 500 calories in a day. And ideally, slowly drop the weight at around a pace of 2lbs per week. But if you lose weight fast, you'd need to be able to keep it off for a few months to move your bodyweight setpoint to a lower place in a reliable manner.

Eat a looot more protein & drink the recommended amount of water. Protein is satiating & helps compensate for lost nutrients due to the deficit. But make sure it's a good protein source. Ideally a pure one.

And if you don't want to have to cut calories back as much, incorporate more steady-state cardio in your workout routines. 20 minutes per day will get you to the recommended amount of 150 minutes per week. Walking is a good way to start.

And remember, your main goal should be to feel better before it should be to look better.

[OlderAndWiser]

Youare fat and you know it. Your BMI is 31.9, placing you at the 96th percentile for 18-year-old girls. Only 4% of all 18 year old girls are fatter than you. Why are you even asking this question?

[JamesDiaz11]

I don't know your body composition, but you're 7 inches shorter than me, and 20 pounds heavier...

You're overweight.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I'm 5'10", muscled, and have a beer gut and also at 180... you are absolutely a fatty.

[Babygirl_S]

You should calculate your BMI using a BMI calculator. That will tell you whether your weight is healthy for your height or not.

[BazookaTrouper]

When I was 18 I weighed 144 lbs. You weighed more than I did, and you're not obese; just thicc!

[saarisrael]

i guess you can run bmi check (i think it checks it)

[Marianna546]

No pictures no answer

[Marianna546]

Okkk

[scooogy]

Ok 😬

[AlanJ17M4F]

What about my pics @jess_ess

[AlanJ17M4F]

Also @Marianna546 , I'm new as of this morning and I've tried to post more pics, I don't know what's wrong fr lol

[AlanJ17M4F]

[andreasderjuengere]

Yes, you are.
Plans to do something about it?

[jess_ess]

[andreasderjuengere]

Your health will later say 'thank you'.
Good luck and success with it :)

[slatyb]

Yes, you are medically obese.

[Still-alive]

yeah its a bit overweight for your height.

[LimitedBenefits101]

for your height yes you are

[Zolly99999]

Chubby... Or a few extra pounds

[TheCloud2]

Do you want the truth?

[jess_ess]

yes i do

[TheCloud2]

@jess_ess Well you're kinda on the edge... You can still improve it..
Can I also get our opinion on something please?

[Theabcking]

No you're plus sized

[jess_ess]

isn't that fat?

[Theabcking]

Lol you're like 18. From 18 to 30 you will a bunch weight fast and then lose a bunch of weight fast. That's how it was for me.

[Theabcking]

Don't worry just work out. I didn't diet at all and I was in good shape from working out 3 days a week. I ate Popeyes and a bunch of bullshit and was in good shape. Of course need to stop eating bad food. The point I am making is you're not in your 30s and the weight is stuck their

[Theabcking]

There*

[jess_ess]

thanks

[Anonymous]

technically yea

[Sour-rose]

Nope. Not fat at all

[Avicenna]

Yes, you're fat

[Shamalien]

Of course

[jess_ess]

darn

[jahaims]

Yeah

[jess_ess]

darn. would you date a fat girl?

[jahaims]

Chubby or a bit heavy sure but not fat. The point of dating to me is to find a life long partner and it wouldn't be fair to the kids for parents to be unhealthy.

[RuthlessAggression]

Yeah

[JohnK123]

I’m 5’10 and 140…

[WraithRogue04]

yes i think so

[In_Trance]

yeah
