I a, 5’8” and weigh 177 pounds. I think I am severely overweight. Am I?

Question

Answer

The scale use to mess with my head a LOT! But It depends on your body composition. I'm 5'9 "suppose" to be under 170. I'm 196! according to charts I'm "overweight" and few pounds from "obese" But if I were to lose 25lbs+, I'd look sick. The number on the scale doesn't mean much to me personally because there's so many other factors!!

Answer

Going just off your BMI, the highest you can be before getting into the overweight category is 164. But that doesn’t take into account your body type, genetic factors, etc. so only your doctor can truly answer this question
