According to the BMI, Arnold Schwarzenegger is Obese. Its not always accurate. Your good

You are normal. The BMI scale doesn't take into account muscle mass. It's a very poor way of determining someone's healthy weight. Many people have different builds, different genetics, bone structure, bone density, and other things. You can't just generalize what a healthy weight is for a particular height. I'm 5'11 and I weigh 225 and I'm not fat. The BMI basically says I'm obese. Lawlz.

5,8 is tall and average for women would be 90-120pounds at heights of 4,9-5,3 so I would say you are thin.

You are a beautiful, curvy, woman. My sister is like that. She's only 11, and she hasn't started puberty, so she's a little overweight. But with your breast size and your height, you are perfectly normal.

Yes obviously it's normal to b a female & worried about your weight.. LOL.. since as we get older our bodies tend to go downhill, so, while more than likely ur fine now, to prepare for aging, u should lift weights! Increasing muscle mass Increases metabolism and can firm up cellulite. Plus don't pay attention to the numbers on the scale. You wanna b healthy not skinny.

72.5Kg is normal for 172cm. I weigh 77Kg and need to cut back on the coockies a bit lol.

Take it from me, i'm the same height, but weigh 145[with more to lose] Shed a bit of weight, but don't obsess over it too much.

160? Are this pounds, kilos or tons or onces? Sure tons and so it is okay

u might also have a lot of muscle like me im 5' 8" 138 pounds with 6% of that is fat and ive been able to see my rib cage all my life

You are not overweight. You are normal to be 5'8" and 160 pounds. It is within healthy BMI range. BTW the DD bra size is odd for that size but as long as it does not impede on your health you are okay. I wish I could find women like that.

its completely normal!

I'm 5'9.5" and weigh 169. I'm not fat!!!

It says 5'8" in the title.

I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall

Firstly, scales have a tendency to differ somewhat by even a couple of pounds. Secondly, this depends on when you went to the doctor. If you went in January or February and you've gained 8 pounds since then who cares. That's not "rapidly" as you put it. Now if it was only two months ago then it's somewhat of a change but not anything ridiculous. Thirdly, if you like having curves and your boyfriend likes it's as well then it shouldn't make a difference what a bmi chart tells you. And there are plenty of guys out there who enjoy curvaceous women (me included).

Screw what the BMI says, I agree with your bf, you're hot! :-)

It depends on how tall you are-you haven't told us that.
