Is 5'8 120 pounds overweight?

No you're just right.

Those who thumbed me down and answered this question are probably morbidly obese cows. 150 for your height would look fat and hideous. Just go to mybodygallery.com and plug it in with that height. 120 is just right. even if you weight 5 lbs less you wouldn't be underweight or look bad. Americans are so delusional about weight these days. Also the bmi has been proven to be false and not a real science. It shows no accuracy to health regarding peoples weights.

Actually, at 5'8 & 120 lbs, you are underweight.

Your BMI (or Body Mass Index) is currently 18.2

Obesity = 30 or higher

Overweight = 25-29.9

Normal = 18.5-24.9

Underweight = 18.5 or lower

What?? If anything, it is underweight. A 5ft8 woman should weigh in the region of 125-160lb depending on her body type. Of course, some women may weigh less than this and be perfectly healthy if they are particularly small framed. Hope this helps.

Absolutely not. A healthy weight for a woman who is 5'8" tall with a small frame could weigh anywhere from 126-139lbs, medium frame 136-150lbs and with a large frame anywhere from 146-167lbs. So no. 120lbs is definitely not overweight. Hope this helps :)

all the girls I know (I'm a guy) keep saying they're so over weight with similar qualities as you, but honestly they don't look that bad. I'm around 5'8 and somewhere between 125-130 and feel very underweight.

are you saying you are 120 pounds overweight? or asking if 120 is overweight for your body?

Baby girl im 5'2 and can weigh 125-127 andbim fine with that. Im not over weight either (my breasts are also Ds). You certainty are not over weight! !

Honey...you are anything but overweight. But if you are skinny fat then you may need to gain weight.

No, that works out to an 18.2 BMI, meaning you are in fact *underweight.*

I agree with Hannah, you are definitely attention seeking. Look in your mirror and at the tags on your clothing, you are what you are. Deal with it and stop asking people you don't know on the Internet to provide you with pointless answers to an obviously pointless question.
