Posting here for traffic.

I am 41.

One question.

Am I fat?

Genuinely interested in opinions.

I’d say that was quite a healthy weight, especially for a 41 year old, only a very slim person would regard that as fat IMO.

Again, depends how you are carrying it.

If you have a couple of spare tyres round your waist then I suppose you could look ‘fat’.

Depends on what the weight is from? You can be super fit and on the heavier side.

What's your waist to height ratio?

What is your waist size? Bmi is completely meaningless without knowing your body composition.

Well I am late forties, 5 ft 4 in and 10 stone 5 pounds. Not fit at all so there is no muscle weight there. Only you will know if you are not the correct weight. Are your clothes tight? That's usually a good indication. Not sure you will get many answers on here that will make you feel good about yourself I'm afraid.

You're an inch taller than me and you weigh about 15lbs more than me. It's a little on the chubby side I would say. Your BMI is 24 which is in the upper range of normal. 25 is overweight. 30 is obese.

Probably not. But if you don’t do any exercise you may lack shape or tone and look ‘skinny fat’
I imagine your BMI would be in normal range
