Is This Considered Overweight

What is considered overweight in Japan?

If you're not Japanese, then the "normal" weight for girls in Japan won't apply to you. I don't mean that on a cultural level, but on a medical one.

I can tell you, however, that as a 5'7" girl weighing in at 130 lbs or so, I got tons and tons of compliments on my body in Japan. The Japanese aren't particularly naturally curvy, and neither am I, but this means that a little bit of hip and bust makes you look really cool to a lot of Japanese people. Also, if you have long legs, women will comment on them.

Since you're not overweight by America's medical standards at least (I'm assuming you're from the US, apologies if you're not), then no one will think you're overweight in Japan either. If you get a comment like "You're so big!" that's not someone calling you fat but a smaller Japanese person marveling at your height and build which is different from theirs. This isn't a common comment, but you'll sometimes hear it from really, really short girls in Japan or people who are surprised by your height upon standing (you're not particularly tall, though, so I doubt anyone would say this to you lol).

In general, though, no one will comment on your height or weight while you're there. You're not obese, or even fat, so no one will stare at you because they think you're large. You're not anorexic, so no one will stare because you're too small. You're a normal size, so the only people who stare will be staring because you're not Japanese (depending on where you go).

Hope this helps!

What is considered overweight for a 12 yr old girl?

My friend, Alexis is worried that she is overweight. She is 12 years old (almost 13) she is 5'1 and she is 170 pounds. I'm not gonna lie, she is pretty big but what is really considered overweight like what pound. Because instead of her goal being getting to average weight I think it would be easier for her to get to under overweight, not ideal until shes under overweight. maybe just a little chubby. It would really help if you could give me some links but if not thats okay

Im5'2 130 pounds is that considered overweight?

I'm the exact same, and all the BMI calculators I've used said I'm at risk for becoming overweight, and that my weight was unhealthy. But I'm not all that big. I have big thighs, but that's it. Maybe it's muscle?

Im 5'2 and weigh 130.. is that considered overweight?

If you don't do any sort of exercise and have little or no muscle in your body, then yes, you are overweight. But not by that much! =] Your ideal weight would be around 111-116 lbs. If you just skip a few snacks such as chips and substitute water for juice/soda, you could lose a lot of weight healthily without starving yourself. Also, whenever you feel hungry in between your meal times, drink a lot of water and eat a fistful of fruits. Eat a big, but healthy breakfast (no donuts!! lol), a moderate lunch (like a sandwhich and a bottle of water), and little for dinner. (like a chicken salad, with LITTLE dressing because most dressings are made up of mostly fat.) And with fruits in between these sort of meals, trust me, the weight loss will come naturally and will be generally painless.
=] I used to weight 147lbs at 5'2" a couple years ago, and now, i'm 5'3" and a half and I weigh 114 lbs.

Changing your eating habits will also give you a lot more energy and you'll feel brighter/happier. If you're really motivated, you could also just set apart one or two days of the week where you allow yourself to eat a chocolate bar or something. Or you could just limit yourself to eating one chocolate bar, etc. to one week. It may be a little hard at first, but within three-four days, you'll quickly adapt to this different style of eating. And whenever you can, substitute driving for walking. Walking a little more in small amounts throughout the day makes an amazing difference.

Is 58.8kg n 160cm in hEIGHt.. considered overweight???

No. you are not overweight. Using BMI (body mass index), you are considered normal weight (your BMI is a little less than 23 and normal is 20 to 25). Your boyfriend, on the other hand, is considered underweight (his BMI is 18.7). He's probably worried about what you think about him!

What is considered significantly overweight?

There is this audition for a new ABC family show and I was wondering what you guys thought significantly overweight looks like. You can send links, picture would be great, or explain in thorough details. I am researching this information to see if I can fit the bill for one of the characters. So what is your opinion?
