your thick (: which is good! guys love it.



According to your body mass index, you're not overweight. I think that numbers are far less important than how you feel, though. If you feel healthy and happy and you are not clinically overweight, then you're fine! However, even if you are under the standard limit for being overweight, if you don't feel fit and healthy, then you should probably start exercising more or eating healthier.



So if you put in your height at 63.5 inches and in your weight in at 140 your body mass index comes out at 24.4. Anything below 25 is considered a normal healthy weight. You also have to take into consideration your body's build. Some people are build stronger than others. Regardless of the numbers, exercise and healthy eating are always great things to help you with your mood, ability to focus, and your self image. Be well!

Med school



According to your BMI (Body Mass Index);

...you fall into the "Normal weight" category (a 24.8 if you're 5'3").

So faaaar from fat, believe me. Ugh, fat is such a crude word ): You aren't overweight! Hope I helped.
