After reading the post for tall skinny people, I would like people to know how much I weigh without derailing that thread. And hearing that there are other weights out there!
I am 5'3 and weigh 154. I am a size 12-14.
I work out three times a week, I try to walk every day but that only happens if I can squeeze it in my schedule. I don't have a goal weight. my weight vacillates depending on pregnant, nursing and other hormonal factors.
I think I look great and never thought I was fat... But hearing that at 5'7 there are people post children who weigh 120s, I just want to make sure no one thinks they are fat at my range!

I'm 4'10" and 120. I will never be a size 0 because I'm curvy. But I'm definitely not overweight.

Reading about people my weight and 10 inches taller who feel fat, I get really really confused.

I'm 4'10" and weigh about 175. Which is not good, but honestly, I'd be ok with anything under 150 even though that would still be overweight. I've given up on hitting 120 ever again. That other thread is craziness!

Who cares?? Seriously, can we stop obsessing with what everyone weighs? Everyone's body is structured differently. You don't feel fat. Meaning youre comfortable in your body, awesome!!
Our bodies do so much for us.
They're amazing!

I'm 5'2, and when I hit 140 I do feel fat. I know I'm not really fat, most yiddishe mamas my age (51) are much more plump. But at that weight I feel like I have to cut down on the sweets and goodies and be a bit more active.
I usually 'yo-yo' between 130-140

I'm 5'2 and weigh 183. I'm miserable about it. My blood work shows everything's OK except my cholesterol is high. I try so hard. I tried every diet under the sun, I walk every day, I eat very healthy, I never touch sugar, I love fruits and veggies. I drink tons of water close to a gallon a day. And I still can't lose weight. It's like Hashem wants me to be fat. I used to be 120 and with every child I stayed w an additional 10-15 lbs that won't budge. I'm on bc for this reason can't see myself gaining even more at this point even though I desperately want to have more kids.
All day long I think about my weight. It's torture.

I’m 4”11 and currently 105-110. I feel and look best at 100. That was my pre baby weight and would love to get back to it. It’s just my 3rd so taking a bit longer.

Im 5' and I weigh way too much right now (post baby) but I look perfectly normal (not skinny but normal) at 150 lbs.
There are so many variables. I have very heavy bones or more accurately, very dense.

I think it depends on your body type. I'm five feet four inches tall and 150 something would be too much for me.

5.3. About 150 lb. I'm very curvy, eat very healthy & work out a ton but I can't seem to drop a single pound on hormonal bc 😫

That’s interesting because I’m also 5ft tall and I weigh 142 pounds but I look chubby.
My thighs are too big and I have a stomach.
I’m trying incredibly hard to lose weight but I just can’t.
I will never forget my horror when I hit 120 pounds many years ago. I wish more than anything that I could go back to that weight.
