According to this chart, are you underweight, ideal weight or overweight?

Question

Since some people think it's cool to body shame, and that the "height to weight" ratio is what to go by.. Here's the chart. Where are you at, according to it? Personally, I think the chart is bullshit.

Answer

Eh, just throw on some heels! ;)

Answer

According to this chart, I am 1 pound over my ideal weight.
Im not a big fan of these kinds of charts. As long as I am eating well, exercising regularly and I FEEL good, I'm not going to be too concerned about what a chart says.

Answer

They give huge ranges...If you're still overweight, I really don't think it's the charts fault.

Answer

I'm 5'7 and 122lbs. I guess I'm good 😝

Answer

Only just an ideal weight can't loose anything or I'll be underweight, but i already get told that enough

Answer

That's a really wide rage for 'ideal weight' Serioudly, at 5'3" a range of 104-123 (I think that's what it was) is a big difference!

Answer

Personally I know for my body shape I am over weight by roughly 20 lbs. I weigh 139, I should be closer to 120 to not have extra fat on my hips or around my ribs and my stomach. I got down to 127 before I was pregnant and was looking and feeling healthier. It's all about your personal preference.

Answer

My theory.....if you see a skinny animal it's not healthy. Humans are animals. I'm an avid hunter and I'd never shoot an animal that doesn't look healthy  for fear it has something wrong with it. I'm 5'3"....I was 125lbs in high school...no ass no boob's. Sickly looking in my opinion.

Answer

It's just a guideline. Everyone's bodies are different. You can be considered "underweight" or "overweight" and be perfectly healthy. However, it's useful for when you are too far out of your range. Then it's usually accurate.

Answer

I was very underweight my entire life but now I'm preggo so I'm in the normal category. I am 5'9' and always weighed 125 until I got preggo and then went to 135.. I lost that baby and am preggo now and am at 145... I got called aneroxic 17 years ago in high school by our health class teacher.. I ran on the track team and played soccer so when I ran a 6:25 mile I said to her you think someone who is aneroxic can run like that?
