I would say that i am over weight but i do not feel that it has any bearing on my happiness or my life. Contrary to popular opinion you can be healthy and over weight....i would recommend a site....www.bigfatblog.com

I was at a high normal weight until I went on this medical leave of absence and have since gained around 30 pounds, and am definitely overweight. It may partly be medication related as I'm taking a mood stabilizer. I'm trying to work it off, but it's not easy. Plus, there is NO way I'm ever giving up chocolate.
Anyway, I have goals, and I'm working towards them one day at a time.
Personally, I'd rather be a bit overweight than underweight. Unlike many people, I don't find being thin attractive, and should you get sick, it's likely there would be more complications than if the person was a bit overweight. Aesthetically speaking, Marilyn Monroe is so much more beautiful than Paris Hilton.

I'm not overweight but I did spend a good few years of my life being overweight - school kids are horrible at letting you know it!
I've gained a bit of weight from medications that the doctors keep switching up. I'm working on getting back to the 125 lb. range, but I'm 21 and still fit into the clothes I have from high school, so I don't feel bad about myself.
I am happy the way I am, but my knees are happier when I am a bit smaller.
I am actually underweight =( I am 18 years old.. and weighing in at only 88 lbs. People think I am anorexic by looking at my arms, because they have.. practically just skin and bones.. I need to get tested for some disease (the name excapes me right now)that won't let me gain weight.. but I am terrified of needles and am procrastinating.. and dreading the day the blood is drawn.. it freaks me out that much.
Good luck to those of you who are working to lose the weight!

So far, the majority thinks they are overweight. I'm in the "not" category.

Well I don't want to say how much more I have to lose, but I've lost over 75 and have more to go. Losing weight for me is about my health at this point...yo yo dieting (though on "good" diets such as weight watchers) ruined my metabolism, led me to dealing with being pre-diabetic, and a syndrome of issues including high bp and high cholesterol
Whatever you do..make your changes once and stick to it. If you fall off and regain some, make changes again..eventually, they will stick, but it's best if you just make that change in habits and diet, once

I chose 5-10 lbs overweight. Everyone tells me I am not overweight, I look fine. I respond with I may look fine to you but I can feel the difference with my body. Does anyone else have that feeling?
I'm starting to cut out a lot of unnessary fat from my foods. I'm not going on a diet per say just eating more fat free foods, foods and veggies and I'm going to start to exercise regulary. I am hoping this will make a difference.
I am 5'4" and I weigh in at 118 lbs, which I think makes me 'well-proportioned'.
Now, I may LOOK just fine, and the number might be where they're supposed to be, but I haven't worked out in about a month and MAN, do I feel GROSS! I eat fine, I pay a lot of attention to food labels, my sleep cycles, my nutrient intake, my junk food intake and what chemicals my cosmetic products have in them and everything etc., but unless I run a few miles or get into that swimming pool for my 36 laps...I feel like a big heaping pile of lazy.

I am 6'1 and 185lbs. I was 193lbs a month ago. So I have lost some weight and I have been getting my six pack back like I used have. But it is hard for me to keep my abs. If I quit working out for more then a week (which happens because of the traveling I do with my job and trainings I do) I get a little flab to easy.
I'm 5'7" and I weigh 145, and I'm not overweight, but the women in my family all have weight problems, so I go to the YMCA regularly to keep myself in shape, I don't want to have weight problems when I get older.
My mom has just recently lost 55lbs on weight watchers, I'm so proud of her!
