"do u think its ok 2 be 5"5 and weight 125lb.?"?
"i feel so fat and ppl tell me i look good...
do u think their just saying that?"

5' 5" 125lbs? Nothing wrong with you, you sound great!

Why is it that all women, even the ones that aren't fat, think they are fat???

Stop reading those stupid fashion magazines...


EightBitHero
that height to weight ratio is perfectly fine.


Truth B
UR-THICK


Maria Conchita
What matters is how you feel. I think it's perfectly acceptable to be 125lbs. at your height. If you feel fat, you should exersize a little to feel better, maybe cut out junk food for a while. I think your friends are telling you the truth. They probably love you just the way you are.

I'm sure you're fine. I'm 5'6" and 145. Of course, my body fat is relatively low, and I feel like I'm in good shape - so you must be in better shape than I.


megan_of_the_swamp
It is perfect to be 5'5" and 125 lbs.

Even according to the body mass index (BMI), you are the perfect healthy weight, and that can be inaccurate and tell people they're overweight depending on how much muscle a person has. In all my experience hearing about people's numbers, though, it does not underestimate.

My guess would be that you're anywhere between 15% and 25% body fat, which is low-normal for a woman. The disparity between numbers comes from the fact that everyone's body composition is different, even taking height and weight into account.

You're fine. At that weight and height, you're probably quite slender. Your friends and other people are not lying. You aren't fat, not by a long shot.

If you're really worried about it and not joking, then you might want to consider talking to a family member or a friend, or getting counselling. Image problems are no fun to have, and there is no point trying to fix yourself when there is nothing wrong.

That is getting close to the top.. anywhere between 115 & 130 would be ideal weight.. depending on body type.. you would be considered a mesomorphic type. Meaning you have a goodly amount of muscle. Muscle has volume and weight.


morganalefay_us
Goodness....I wish I weighed 125lbs.!!!!!! I'm 5'1" and weigh 200lbs.

Yes, I think that that is a great weight for your height. I'm sure that you are asking close friends and family about how you look, and if you are , I am sure that they would be honest with you about your looks...or weight.
Many people look at themselves in the mirror and do not like what They see. If you are that unsure about yourself, please talk to someone you trust. I'm sure your just beautiful the way you are.

i'm about the same height and weight as you and i feel the same way about myself sometimes. don't think people are just telling you that... be confident in yourself and people will feel attracted to you regardless of if you think you're fat or not. and you're not fat, your weight's like average for somebody your height. you wouldn't want to be anorexic right?


bridetobebrandie
At that height you'd be okay at 135. Just chill out!
You look great :) Everybody feels fat, that doesn't mean you are.

that sounds fine, you should say about how old you are so we could get a better idea.


imsocool
you're an obsessed person. if people always tell you that you look good, then you probably do. if you still have doubts, check a BMI chart


Tortured Soul Suffering Silently
125 is a healthy weight for someone your hieght...if you are really un comfortable I say it would be ok to lose no more then 5 pounds...don't let the barbie doll/size -2 images hurt your self esteem.
Remember: you are a beautiful princess waiting for that gentlemen to make you his queen, and he will love you no matter what.

thats sound perfect , man i love baby phat.

yea datz fine


sarahchristinejenne
Your BMI (Body Mass Index) is 20.8, which is well within normal. Normal is 18.5-24.9. You are neither overweight nor underweight and you're just fine. If you really feel fat, see if you are eating healthy food and have a healthy amount of energy. Exercise for about 30 minutes daily. You will feel healthy that way. If you still feel bad about yourself, talk to people close to you and consider seeing a therapist, because it is very important that you keep a healthy self-image.


hot sauce
you are perfectly fine.
so dont stress.
my friend who is 5'5" weighs 120.
only 5 pounds more. which really isnt that much.
so its all good :)

Yes that is a normal healthy wait I used to be 125lbs when i was 16 its healthy and normal im now 31


red_headed_rebel_1
yes its ok i am 5'5 and weigh 135. no their not just sayin that you prouably do look good but i dont know cause i cant see you =)


xzvlkdl
Ahh. I hate people like you.
People that need to be told that they look okay just because they're insecure and don't have any friends. You're not fat, and thank God for it.


Cybeq
Yes, they're just saying that but your height/weight ratio is nothing to be ashamed of. Instead of worrying so much about what other people think you should give more credence to what you think. If you think you're fat, you're fat.

idk but for me it's alomost the same 5"5 & around 115lb

that's a perfectly fine weight.
as long as you're fit.
some people are 130 pounds and fit and toned and some are 90 pounds and fat.it's all about how fit and toned you are.


feisty
That is actually ideal..average. You're supposed to multiply your height and inches together..in your case you're a perfect weight. In my case, I'm 3 inches taller than you, and weigh 10 lbs less..so you don't want to be underweight...but I have to be.


all the same eternity
thats the ideal weight for that height hun. stop thinking you are fat just b/c you ate a potato chip...be realistic
