To be surprised I'm overweight?

[overweightcat]

I don't know why but it's really knocked me for six.
I went on the NHS BMI calculator and found out I'm classed as overweight.

I'm 26 and weigh 74kg at 169cm height. Looking at it writing it down I realise it's quite a big number (weight) and before even going on the calculator I knew I'm carrying some extra weight and wanted to loose some to feel a bit better about myself but didn't realise I'm overweight.

I don't hate my current body, my stomach isn't flat but not huge, I've got some stretch marks and a bit of looser skin from 2 pregnancies, my thighs and arms are a bit bigger but I didn't think it was excessive, I've got a good bum and ok boobs all things considered and I'm curvy(ish).
I'm also quite strong and I know some of it will be muscle but definitely not all I'm not silly enough to think that.

AIBU to be really surprised I'm classed as overweight?

For some reason it's really shocked me and I'm feeling very self conscious since finding out.

I was the same as previous posters I thought I was fine but now looking back I was large just didn’t realise. Picture of me with 3 very slim friends - cringe. I am their size now and happier for it. Dress size went from size 14 to 10

Well done OP.

We're the same height and two years ago I weighed 74 kg. I'm down to 64 now and I look like a different person. I'm nowhere near 'thin', but I look a lot slimmer, my face has changed, clothes look better, I feel better. And I eat better because I don't want to go back to how I was.

I would like to lose a little more, it would help the sports I do with a little less fat on me, but I'm really happy with how I am now overall.

Just checked healthy BMI for my height. Stunned that it said I would be normal weight at 12st12- at two pounds over that, I was size 18/20. Am at the lower end of normal now and am a size 14 with lots of wobble and a definite belly...

Same height, 10 1/2 stone, size 12.
I am 6lbs over my BMI and ideally would like to lose a stone.

People say I look a nice weight (have big breasts) and I think I hide my fat well. I carry my weight round my tummy area. So would definitely not look great in a bikini.
