How much should the difference be?

Question

I am 5'5 tall and weigh 128 lbs, I don't know if that's alot for my height, because I don't look overweight but I don't know. My friend is 5 foot even and weighs 103 there is a 5 inch difference between us, and she's called skinny. So if the difference is 5 inches what should the weight difference be? And am I overweight?

Answer 1

You do not sound overweight to me.

Nor do you sound like you're starving skinny, just about right to me :)

Answer 2

that is not alot! u are at good weight for your height :) and no u are not overweight, overweight would be like 150 lbs :D

Answer 3

you are not overweight.  A good way to check your weight is by checking your BMI or body mass index.  There are good calculating sites online.

Answer 4

You do not sound overweight. However, if you wish, you can check for yourself using the attached link. The link is to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), a governmental agency on health.

Answer 5

women's weight chart for 5'5"

small frame 117-130

medium frame 127-141

large frame 137-155

Hope this helps, remember that muscle weighs more than fat so if your really fit you can weigh a little more and still look thinner then someone who is not in as great a shape.
