All these fat posts are being made so I'm curious what is considered to be a "fat" weight? I know height changes it a little so I'm just asking for an average..

An overweight/obese BMI with corresponding high % of body fat.

when your stomach hangs over your pants, when you have "wings", when your BMI is more than 25%, when you have cankles, when you have more than one chin,

That's why I don't think it's a number that defines fat.... It's actual fat percentage or excessive fat.

Some people are just shaped differently or muscular.

I don't think in thin or skinny by any means .. But I also would see so
Wine who looked like me and think fat.


Quoting JaimieLynn8:

You look amazing! I'm 5'2" and when I weighed around 145lb I looked just like you. Minus the boobs lol.

lol I thought you HAD to be joking, but you never know on this site...

Quoting Anonymous:

Hell no I'm not joking! The minute my boys weigh 121lbs, I'm disowning them.

OF COURSE I'm joking :) I don't think "fat" has a number. And it certainly wouldn't be 120lbs lol

Quoting DevinAnnesmom:

You're joking right? I'm 5'9 and if I weighed under 120 I would look like death. At my smallest I was 132 and people asked me constantly if I was anorexic. 140 is the absolute smallest I would want to be.

Quoting Anonymous:

Anything over 120lbs. Disgusting!!!!

Too hard to give an average, as height would change it. 150 pounds may not be fat to someone who is 5'6, but definatly would be for someone who is 5'1

YIKES, i replied before I saw this picture. I dont think I count you in a normal 5'1 150'er, as most people dont have giant twins with a bitty waist like you do :) lol  That is a good 150 pounds lol Most others, wouldnt look like you.
