    It's really up to you what YOU do with YOUR body. Neither a boyfriend nor a bunch of strangers on an internet forum really need to validate your decisions.

    Why would you post this (professional looking photos) here as your first post(s)?

    I think you worry too much about what other people are thinking about you. As amused monkey says, you're in the middle of the healthy BMI range.

    It's hard to tell with all the clothes. Post pics in something revealing so that we can make a better assessment.

    Hard to say since you've covered your belly hips and thighs with a loose fitting skirt. Regardless, if you've always wanted to lose weight then go ahead. You don't look like someone who NEEDS to lose weight for health reasons, but you're not scrawny either so you have some room to play with based on YOUR preference.

    So you'll believe my word over your boyfriend? LOL...I'm guessing by the pose and by the look of confidence, that you're really big on compliments. No, you don't look fat. But you could work on building some muscle if you're really worried about how you look, which I don't think to be the case. Good luck!

    Ooo..and I'm 5'2, 120...and still don't look "thin"

    OP I'm 5'4" and you have a very similar body shape to me. You look good. We carry fat in our legs/lower body. If you want to lean out a little, you can. If you're happy, stay were you are. It's a pretty look but not lean enough for me personally.

    Agreed. I'm 5'4" and carry weight in my lower body too. I feel best between 115-120.

    OP, since you say you're not fishing for compliments I have to assume you're looking for confirmation that your opinion is correct, but it doesn't matter what strangers online think. Your body is yours and you should do whatever makes you feel best.

    I'm 5'4.5" and 117 lbs. Most people thought I looked great at 130. I thought I'd look better if I lost some more and I was right. As the Hodgetwins say "Do whatever the f*** you wanna do!"

    I think you look perfect. You look healthy.

    You could use some muscle definition I would say! Everyone could use that though. Don't validate yourself with the opinions of others, I'd say you need to work on that first.

    It's all a matter of preference. What do YOU think? Personally I would never ask people if I need to lose weight..I'm 5'1" and as of this morning 123...if anyone told me to lose more weight they can get bent.

    You look great..it just depends on what look you are trying to achieve..so again, personal preference.

    That's what I was thinking. Climbing stairs, cycling and/or going on long brisk hilly walks probably wouldn't go astray.

    Plus a bit of upper body weight lifting as well.

    No you don't look fat. I think another 15 lbs would probably make you look more "fit" as opposed to just regular healthy. If you feel up to it. Go for it!
