hi,
one of my male (gay) friends has just insulted me and hinted that i am overweight..i am fairly tall at 5ft 7 and weight 9stone, sometimes just over that. I know he is obsessed with all things Hollywood but i honestly thought i was quite slim!! (usually dress size 10)
Now am totally paranoid when he is near..

Well, appanrelty, if you go by BMI, for a person of teh height of 5ft6 the lowest weight in the healthy range is 8st.12...so, I would think with an inch on that, at 9st. you are definately at the low range of your healthy weight...
bloody friends like that....hmph
