Weight- Who determines what is good ?
119 posts back to top |
Posted 2 months ago I went to the doctor and of course was happy when the doctor showed me weighing 150, I am 5'3 (with shoes 5'6). I have always been thin, usually 125lbs, but did all I could in a healthy way to gain weight. Of course if you read any medical chart I am clearly over weight, obese by some standards. Now if you've seen my picture I clearly do not appear obese. When were these charts created anyways ? 1902? And do they EVER get updated ? I mean the average woman in the US is a size 12 ! Gues what that is me ! Now I don't think that if the average size is 22 that charts should be measured that way but come on ! My weight is good for my height, I am in good shape, dont smoke/drink. But by some standards I need to diet. . . . . .just venting. . . |

| Posted 2 months ago I am 5'1" and I weigh between 126 & 135. Right now I weigh 126. I don't know determines "healthy" weights in women. Oh did I mention that was 38 years old? That is a very good question. Cherrie Fulghum
