I'm 5'2" (on a good day) and 117- 119, and I could stand to lose 5 lbs easily, but not more than 10. I'm not overweight, but I'm not slim either. I looked chubby at 135 and too thin at 105. But that's just me.

However, I'm more concerned about health at this point--muscle mass (now that I'm over 40), strong bones, cholesterol, etc. And I know that my current diet (tons of coffee, not enough veggies, probably too many carbs, not enough dairy/calcium) and lack of exercise is horrible for my health. With full-time work and 2 little ones, its hard to exercise--but here I am, on DCUM instead of on my bike.

OP, the real issue is health. the rest will follow. GOod luck to both of us.

At 115 I looked good but glad the weight kept coming off because my baby face is not fat anymore.


I'm 5'0 and 129. No one would call me fat.
You sound anoreixic to me.


Oh good lord. You are fat. Are your mirrors positioned at an upward angle?


Yeah. Sorry PP, but you are fat. 5' gets you 100 lbs and 5 lbs for every additional inch. You're almost 30 lbs overweight.

Not saying the other pp should have made the Chipotle lunch comment, but I am the 107 5'1 poster and I was just telling her my account of being 135 and how I looked and then decides to say how weight loss at 135 makes one look emaciated at 115?

Sorry NO- I am not emaciated and I did not call you FAT. But apparently you are since you are so damn defensive.


PP actually said she looked emaciated when she was 115 after getting sick. She didn't say anything about what you look like. I'll say it though--you look like a jerk.


Ok fatty mc fat.

You're fat. Don't kid yourself. I'm 5'9 and 140 and I'm thin, but by no means skinny.

This is the problem and very typically American of you to say. It is not healthy to be 135 and 5'2". That is fat. If she had 5 more inches she would be a healthy weight. BMI is a joke, her BMI is at the high end of "normal" which any healthy person knows is no where near what one should be tipping the scales at

OP, yes you are overweight. I assume you are a fairly young woman. Wait until you get older, 135 is going to quickly turn to 155...and then the motorized cart at the grocery store.


OP here. I agree with 12:54. My weight is abnormal, and I'm desperately trying to avoid the motorized cart. I'm 5'2" and 135 lb, and I have metabolic syndrome -- borderline diabetes, high triglycerides, high cholesterol. I am a very muscular athlete (always have been), but I am still too fat. I finally "woke up" and realized that gaining 20 lb of fat since starting college is not OK.

My plan is to make more frequent exercise a top priority (despite being busy at work and having little kids that are always sick, etc.), eat 1-2 cups of non-starchy, no-fat vegetables with every meal, use myfitnesspal.com to track calories, and weigh myself frequently.

My weight crept up 4 lb in the past 3 months after my scale broke. I stopped keeping track of my weight. It is so easy to gain weight in our society. Too little time and lots of high calorie foods everywhere.


Since you have metabolic syndrome it is important to control weight but you should also know that there's a large genetic element to this as well. Even when you lose weight you need to keep on top of your cholesterol and perhaps take medication for it because the risk can occur in the absence of being overweight.
