Answers:

a good weight for your height is 121-135 according to the bmi calculator. but those don't take muscle into account so don't worry about it. you're technically 4 pounds "overweight" but its not a big deal because its probably muscle. if you want to lose weight you can but you don't have to.

I'd say that you're doing fine. You may want to be careful in what you eat if you're worried about gaining more, though that doesn't mean you have to cut out everything that you enjoy eating, just add some extra salads and water into your day.

139 is certainly not an unhealthy weight and honestly no one can say for certain what a "healthy" weight is because it changes from person to person. The BMI (Body Mass Index) is a very out of date indicator of "proper" weight (made in the 1800s) and is doesn't account for things such as muscle mass (according to the BMI pretty much all athletes are overweight).

So I'd say you're perfectly fine where you are and not to let other people tell you you aren't. The biggest question is, are you comfortable with your weight? If you are, then don't worry about it no matter what you're told, if you aren't then try to lose a few pounds, but don't go overboard.



Your bmi (body mass index) is 23.9 to 24.6. Normal bmi is 18.5- 24.9. According to that, you are at the edge of being overweight.



Nope, I'm 5'3 and my weight goes up and down between 133 and 140. How much you eat before you weigh yourself will show you different numbers than it would if you didn't eat anything before you weigh yourself



the only one who can evaluate this is your doctor. make sure you figure out your body fat index as well, and get nutrition and exercise advise as well for healthy living



BMI- body mass index, according to my little BMI calculator, that is healthy but it doesn't discriminate on age, doctors do although



hell no you are not overweight. you are just right, butt thighs and all.

my wife is thick and sexy.

No it's perfectly fine



No, sounds like you are normal.
