Im 5'5 and 140lbs would i be considered fat?

Answer:
That's considered a healthy body mass index, but you could have your body fat percentage professionally determined to get an estimate that way, too. There are some calculators on the internet that will give you an estimate, but these vary widely.

God NO! please don't become one of those girls obsessed with being skinny----try healthy, tone up if you feel loose, but that is a great size.

Another useless yahoo question without pictures!

Depending on your bone structure, you may be okay.

Here's a couple sites to help you find your ideal weight.

no not to me

Absolutely not. I'm the same and there is no way we are fat. If you really feel that you are fat you may consider talking to a professional about it. Body image issues can really be devastating. Accept yourself and as long as you are healthy be happy. That's my outlook. If you're not healthy make sure you take the time to work at it. You may not lose weight(because you probably don't need to) but you will start to feel better which will help you to better accept yourself.

That sounds about right, to me. But if you're still not sure, try the pinch an inch technique. Supposedly if you can pinch an inch of body mass from your abdomen than you are possibly over-weight, but according to the stats that you have given, I don't think that you are.

Not necessarily. Depends on your build. You might perhaps have a large frame with dense and heavy bones. 10 stones or 65 kilos or 140 lbs is certainly above the average weight for your height but so what. Some people are above the average weight for their height and some people are below. As long as you feel OK it would seem to me that you have nothing to worry about.
