Are You Really Over Weight?

In our society there is constant pressure to be thin, and in shape.

We know that being in shape usually means being healthy, and our bodies are not so prone to sickness, & disease.

But I beg to differ with the idea that you must be skinny, and your ribs showing to claim you're physically fit.
We see these type of image examples being shown to us all the time, and most of us don't fit "that" bill, & don't want to.

I'm not a size 6 and it's okay.
Most of the women I know aren't either, and we all overall are pretty healthy people.

I've lost weight, put it back on, & lost it again.
Currently after reducing 25 lbs. I'm keeping it off.
I won't push here, what I did to lose, because everyone is different, and it's really about your individual goals, & what works for you.
I will say, choose a safe, & healthy method.

Here I have listed the "proper" weight they say you should be according to your height.
Don't worry if you don't fit exactly, most people don't, and although losing a lot of extra pounds is an excellent idea, do not put on more weight worrying about an extra 10 to 15 pounds.

You know the medical society likes to name everything, even our supposed flaws, for example, the term "obese". 
Well any way here is the chart,

5'1" 100 to 131 lbs.  5'2" 104 to 135 lbs.   5'3" 107 to 140 lbs.
5'4" 110 to 144 lbs.  5'5" 114 to 149 lbs.   5'6" 118 to 154 lbs.
5'7" 121 to 158 lbs.  5'8" 125 to 163 lbs.   5'9" 128 to 168 lbs.
5'10" 132 to 173 lbs.- 5'11" 136 to 178 lbs.  6' 140 to 183 lbs.
