matthewptd	I have no clue, but considering that you're asking this question in the first place, you may think that you are overweight for your height. If you have any doubts, check out a BMI scale online as others have said, but also, everyone could eat healthier as well. My family and I just switched to eating fruit for desert rather than ice cream and what not. It's actually really good, a nice fruit salad. Also, make sure that you're hydrated well everyday (water, water, water, and if drinking Gatorade, mix it with half water), and foods that are not high in sodium. Water helps your body flush out salts that are bad, and also flushes out salt that would be trapped in fat cells. Eating fish is also really good for the omega 3 oils. Try incorporating that into your diet maybe, because quite frankly Americans eat too much meat all the time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

starr11fan	I would say NO! You should probably think less about the numbers on the scale, and think MORE about how your clothes fit:) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
