mercedes_19842002	it depends on how well pro-portioned u are, if you're chesty and have an * on you..and depends on your ethnicity, i seem to find black females, or far south women, Mexican, Argentinian, Puerto Rican women seem to look better, shorter stature but thicker,,,than white women..i'm 5;8 180, but i work construction, so i'm some what muscle, and i'm chesty AND have an * on me..so it suits me well, 5'2...170..like i said..doesn't sound bad..really no one's opinion but yours matter, if u feel obese it'll reflect on others your self confidence...but if u feel good about your height/weight and are happy it'll show..and people will respect you more for your confidence.

meme1972	It depends on where you're carrying the weight. It looks like you're black so you might be carrying most of it in your butt and thighs.
