I am a 40 year old women that is 5'8' and I weigh 153 lbs; am I overweig!


Question: Your height and weight sound good for your age, but...
weight alone isn't a good measure...consider bone structure and weight distribution. Look where the weight is layering...even a few too many lbs. on your abdomal area can cause health problems...check your Hip to Waist ratio... keep a ten inch difference.

Not at all. I think you should look fine, more average than anything.

No, you're not technically overweight.

no you hav 2 b at least 200 pounds at ur age. i think thats good

Not at all. I'm 17 and weigh the same as you and I'm not overweight.

im 40 5'6 and weigh 170 i wished i would weigh 153 no its not over weight.

No that should be your ideal weight as it's somewhere around the 12 stone mark which for your height is about right..

no, you are my weight and I am only 5'6, just eat good food and exercise , the older we get the harder it is

I don't believe in BMI, the only way to determine whether you are "over weight" or have an unhealthy form for your body structure is if you hold a larger sum amount of body FAT (%) then what you should.
Some people might stare at their scales and mis-interpretate the weight as negative, if you lead an active and healthy life, that number should not matter (unless you are needing to know the # for a competative sport that requires it), as in a lot of cases, muscle weighs more then fat.

I want to also include that i like "Beyond Mordant", answer !!

no definatly not,my brother is here and he said no thats normal.hes a doctor.

i am a 54 yr old man 5 8in 250 pounds you aint got no problems im two of you ..

No, I don't think so. I've been doing weight watchers and for a person 5'5" (granted I'm 52, not 40) but their weight range is 125-150.

Your ideal weight would be 140 lbs so 153 lbs is OK. Above 160 lbs would probably be overweight.

doesn't sound like you are overweight at all, where did you get that idea from?

No. You're JUST NICE.

no!

i think u are perfect in weight
u NOT overweight
i think everyone special in their own special way.
God created you in his image and made every one special because if everyone was the same,except gender, life would not be as good as it is. dont worry, you are just fine

god bless
