[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 5’4 and hover between 165-170.

My cholesterol is good, triglycerides normal, low blood pressure, good immune system, lots of energy.

So in my case—yes! [/quote]

I'm 5'2 and 155. My blood work is really good and I have "the blood pressure of a teenager."  I lift weights 3-4 times a week plus play tennis, hike or play pickleball at least 2 other days a week. I'm 53.[/quote]

Pretty much the same except I'm 160. I eat a highish protein vegetarian diet heavy of vegetables and comex carbs. I do yoga once a week, lift heavy 3x a week, and do intense cardio 2x a week.

But because I have some extra fat around my body because of medications (so it doesn't really matter I could have the extra way too because I enjoy food!) people on here are convinced I'm going to keel over a heart attack or obesity related disease on one day.

It's a good thing I don't really care what I'm other people think.[/quote]

5 2 and 160 is not a healthy weight.  The risks that come from being obese are likely less than the  risks of not taking your medication. However this doesn’t mean that weighing 160 at 5 2 is healthy. Have you considered one of the new weight loss drugs? [/quote]
