Hi..I'm 5'7" And I way 175 pounds..is that exremly overweight? I don't look TOO fat but I don't know I feel like I'm a blimp or something. My friends say I don't look fat but are they just saying that to keep me happy?
Thank you!

Hi, I haven't seen you before but I wouldn't think you look fat because your so tall(im saying that cause im 5 foot). Part of that 175 might be muscle too because muscle weighs more than fat. If you think you're a little over weight than you should try not eating so chips and chocolates or n e thing that is really high in fat(it says on the package how much fat is in it) and whatever you do....stay away from the bacon and McDonalds!!!

I feel the same way as you do because I am 5'9 and i weight 173 but sometimes my weight increase so much that it makes me feel so mad. everyday i tell my mom if am fat and i hate asking the same question everyday because am scare that my mother might tell me that am fat evendo she tells me i don't look fat. but sometimes i want to here the truth but i also don' want to get hurt by it!!

I don't know if you're overweight or not. But if you feel overweight, DO something about it. Exercise, eat right. Check out Jen's reply to Terann. She has some good advice. And remember, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
