Am I overweight really ?!


Question: Am I overweight really !?
According to the tables I should weigh 12 stone, I actually weigh 15 stone, I am only 5ft 10", I am quite muscular and big boned, used to be swimmer to an international standard so was always active, I eat very healthily and I do not look fat whatsoever, maybe have slightly larger than usual love handles but always have, if I lost 3 stone I would look far too skinny, are these table correct really that say my ideal weight as I don't think I am actually too far from it, everyone is different, what do you think !?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Woo you sound a bit tasty actually!.

Weight is never a good indicator, muscle weighs more than fat so many people who have hardly any fat on them at all but are very muscular are classed as overweight, even though they look fab!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am 5ft 9inch and weigh 11!.10lb i think i could do with losing10lb but considering i have lost 2 stone from last year i am doing o!.k,!.!.!.!. my weight i am at the top of mt weight range for my height i think you are overweight but you sound happy about your weight so thats all that matters xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Honestly, it depends on the persons body themselves, me and my wee sister are the same size but different weights, I have been the same weight than her before and I didnt look heathly so aslong as you feel fit and good then I wouldnt look at anything else, its how you feel insideWww@Answer-Health@Com

yes if you have love handles u are and 15 stone at 5 10 is well over, i use to be 16 10 at 6ft now down to 12 7 and feel so much better for it and dont sweat as much i can run again etc etc not sure how old u are but dont let it get too bad as it only gets harder when u get older to loose itWww@Answer-Health@Com

Some tables do not account for muscle at all, my boyfriend was called 'obese' by his doctor based on his BMI results when he isn't fat at all, just very strong and muscly!.
Don't worry about it - do you feel healthy!? Then you are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
