    I'm 5'3'' and 128 pounds........am I thin, normal, or fat?
    What?

    And, you're 128 trying to lose 18 pounds at 5 ft. 3?

    Something is off here.

    110 would still be normal for her height, she may have a small frame of very little muscle mass

    Would need pictures to judge.

    Weight means nothing my friend.

    True. For reference, those are roughly my numbers (within 1-2 pounds,) and this is me
    <

    You look thin to me. I want to be thin, and I want people to think I'm thin....so yes I know BMI says I'm just normal but I guess I posted this to find out what people generally think...I don't have a recent full body photo but I'll take one this weekend when I'm hanging out with some friends.

    I'm so sorry.

    I guess I am quite influenced by people around me...everyone else wanting to be thin...I actually used to think I was thin....a girl I knew asked my weight and I said 120 pounds which was my weight then...and she was like oh i'm 100 pounds, same height, you weigh a lot. So now I'm kind of questioning...I used to think I was pretty thin and that most people weighed more...now I see that people might consider me as having a curvy body (not just chest and butt but all around big)

    A.) I have a hard time imagining a random person saying " oh i'm 100 pounds, same height, you weigh a lot"

    B,) if you don't like your body then change it. Not necessarily lose weight but change the composition

    C.) Stop caring what others think of you. You are 25, time to grow out of that.

    D.) Being big does NOT make you curvy, being curvy does NOT make you big. Please stop referring to yourself as curvy if you are just chubby and don't call yourself chubby if you are just curvy. You are demeaning body types that are curvy by making it synonymous with fat. Stop it, please.

  • What does your personal trainer say?

    How does your beagle feel about you?

    ^this is silly.

    What if you don't have a personal trainer or a beagle? I mean I don't have either.

    However, just yesterday my Havanese told me I don't walk her enough. Does this mean she thinks I'm fat?

    110 would not necessarily be too thin for your height (depending on how muscular you are), but 100 would definitely be.
    Bear in mind that girls lie all the time about their weight, and most guys have no idea how much girls should weigh.
    Decide for yourself what your fitness goals should be.
    I'm surprised that at 25 your friends are focusing so much on the number. That seems more like high school/college behavior to me, but maybe I am just old.

    Thanks. I'm sick of people commenting on my weight (with the exception of here, since I actually asked and this IS a weight/fitness forum lol)

    Are you healthy? Are you happy? Is your body able to do what you want it to do?

    I outweigh many people who I am smaller than. It doesn't make me better or worse than them. It doesn't make anyone who loves me love me more or less. Or me them.

    I'm sorry hearing what someone else weighs made you worry. It's a weird thing to try and be competitive over. You don't have to buy into it.

    So much this. (Although it is NOT college behavior, at least not in my college. In my college, people don't really give a flying heck how much one weighs - they're more worried about their finals lol..)

    I know someone who is much bigger than I was when I was 220 lbs. If I had to wager a guess, I'd guess 240. Although, I'd never guess with her around or out loud to anyone we know, either. She says she's 220, and I just nod. Women do this. I don't know why. I couldn't tell you why. But they do. So, that 100 lb girl could easily be 110 lbs.

    Thanks....I actually thought I was healthy and thin until some people put down my weight and i started to really focus on it. I am easily influenced.

    <- I'm 5'3" and 135 lbs in both of these pictures.

    How much you weigh tells us very little about whether you are thin/normal/fat. There are TONS of other things that matter more, like how your clothes fit, how you feel when you look in the mirror, how much body fat vs muscle that you carry. Don't let a number on the scale define you -- everyone is different and what works for one girl will not work for another. It doesn't matter how much OTHERS think you should weigh - you should be doing what's right for you :)

    You are none of the above. You are a human being with emotions and feelings.

    None of those three words define who you are. Don't let others do it either.

    You are what you are, and your soul tells you whether you are ok with who/what you are.

    The validation from others doesn't mean ****. They don't walk in your shoes, pay your bills, carry your water pail, etc.

    Beautiful

    Yes, you're right. I just realized who this is. I'm a little slow on the uptake this morning. :laugh:

    Also, no pics? Not even of your "$700 blouse" that you probably got for $12 at Forever 21?

    Step 1: Don't do that.

    There is no Step 2. You are fine. Focus on fitness, looking and feeling your best. Set realistic goals for yourself, and screw what anyone else thinks. What do you want to do? How do you want to feel? They aren't the one's running the miles or lifting the weights, so they don't matter. And don't listen to that kind of nonsense...she was probably lying about her weight anyhow.
