    You're not obese. Not even close.
    Maybe you are just really unhappy with the parts of you that you don't like. Which is ok. To a point.
    I think lifting would be a good thing... if you're that worried about it. You are the only one you need to impress.
    BUT thinking your obese when you clearly aren't, is def going to make some ppl think you have a body image problem.

    Uh... You're 5'10" at 155 pounds? And you have "handfuls" of fat? Uh... are you sure you don't have some kind of body dismorphic disorder? "Obese" is a pretty strong word for someone of your size. Anyways, if you're trying to become leaner, yes... start lifting.

    Her ultimate goal weight is 120, which is quite low for a woman of her height. I think there might be some self perception issues here.

    OP, if you are at a healthy weight but you still feel like your body composition is not quite right, think about some weight training as other posters have suggested. It should help you tone and shape those problem areas. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Lift weights.

    Oh, and don't worry about others who project their own self issues onto you, because of the way you feel about yourself. We have all had that "I feel fat" feeling, even in the middle of a healthy BMI.

    The weight training will solve that. Seriously - it will help. I can't stress enough how important that is.

    I do a lot of walking and sometimes running but don't work out enough probably do you think that's what I need to do? Please could you suggest some exercises that will help me tighten up but not gain muscle?

    Yeah, why would you not want to gain muscle??? You might not want to be like a body builder, but toned muscles are what makes people look hot!
