this may sound positively awful...


but at 5'3 and 120 pounds, isn't that average? not slim?

we were studying BMIs this year in health and our teacher said that was about as perfect as you could get for average.

i'm not saying she isn't thin. just maybe it would be more correct to change that little detail.

ok. i sound like a bitch. i'm not trying to-well, nevermind.

i'll shut up now.

They may be referring to the way she looks instead of the actual weight.

5'3" is not slim,it is average.You don't sound like a bitch,you are simply applying your acquired knowledge to put things more in perspective;whoever wrote that should have thought it out a little more.

I'll shut up now. ;7)

True that that would be considered average (scientifically) but you must keep in in mind that the average size for women is an 8. She is definitely MUCH slimmer than a size 8, although I do realize she is younger.

omg so maybe she's not a size 2 but most people aren't! there's nothing wrong with that!

reply

where does anything anywhere say a size anything is overweight? and btw overweight does not mean obese.

reply

so, i'm a size 9, 5'5, 120 lbs... does this make me overweight because i'm not a size 2? no, it makes me normal. not being a size 2 does NOT mean someone is overweight, it means they're human.

please tell me how you are 5'5, 120 and i size 9?? do you like clothes baggy? because im 5'6 126 and im a 2. or 4 if i want them a little loose. i can wear zeros fine too. i dont know we must have insanely different body types because everyone says im thin or skinny and i weigh more than you.
