i love bagels	Check you BMI on the BMI scale It's the Body Mass Index and is very good Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Anonygirl	yeah, but barely. I'm also 5'4 and used to be 180, too. I used sparkpeople.com and lost about 40 pounds last year. But, if you do decide to lose weight. Don't diet. Eat smaller portions, fruits and veggies, whole grains. Don't eat under 1200 calories in a day and get rid of white bread, white pasta and white rice. You may still grow a bit and lose some weight taht way. Don't stress yourself out about it too much. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

heavenlyangeldf	Doctors usually use your Body Mass Index (BMI) to determine if you are at a healthy weight, overweight, or obese. It is a pretty simple mathematical formula - your weight (in kg) divided by your height (in meters) squared. Your BMI right now is 30.9, which is just in the obese range. If you were to lose just 6 pounds, it would put you out of that range. You can do it! Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

RodiKenley	Yes, by about 35 lbs. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Alana	Yes, but don't concentrate on your fat. Concentrate on your health. Obese people aren't the healthiest people and healthy people aren't usually obese. You don't have to GO ON a diet to be slim and healthy, but you defiantly have to CHANGE your diet. Eat healthy, filling meals at meal time - no snacks - and exercise everyday. It may seem hard at first for some people, but you will get use to it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

awsome	yes you need to eat right and exercise Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bren	Sadly, yes Fairly obese. =/ Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

A_Moron	Sorry, but you are. But on the bright side, you have the metabolism of a teenager, and with minimal exercise you can get into great shape. Just start walking everyday. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

keiko	That is a little much. See your doctor, you might need to diet and exercise more so you aren't putting yourself at risk for heart disease or diabetes. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

None Y	Accoring to your bmi yes it is 30.9 Normal bmi range is 18-25 Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

zack s	that would depend on your bone structure and muscle tissue. youre definantly over weight, but dont sit around!!! excercise. go walking and running. youll love it. good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dig It	Yeah, it sounds like it. No shame in being full-figured! But do yourself a favor and try and exercise and lose weight. I'm 27 and have been overweight since I was your age, and I feel like I've wasted my youth being fat. Lose it now, because when you are older, it gets harder. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
