I AM!!! i used to be 94-95 lbs at 4'10". now i am 106 lbs as of this morning. i don't really mind and my husband doesn;t really mind that i am gaining weight. but my feet are sore after walking some distance. and my knees are complaining, too. then there are my clothes, that i couldn't fit anymore. or at least don't look good in.

I'm definately overweight...I wear it fairly well mind you but I've also lost weight over the past few months...at 5'9" I peaked at 205lbs last summer then was down to 198lbs come Jan/Feb of this yr...now I'm bouncing between 168-170 but am working on losing another 30-35lbs by spring....I'll be happy at 150 mind you but 135-140 would be even better :-) for me to weigh in at any of these is frustrating at times since I used to be a very toned 125 yrs ago but I'm older now and have had kids so I dont sweat it too much..

0h but at your current weight, you still look attractive with the right clothes and makeup because you are so tall! i am 4'10" and that's that. no amount of high heeled shoes can compensate for my lack of altitude. hahaha and i don't have kids yet! goodness sake! i am still trying to conceive. haha

LOL add to that the fact that I do wear 5" heels and yes it works out well for me ;-) I have a gf (not seen her in yrs though) who is about your height maybe a touch shorter actually and the two of us together was a riot!

Nope never have been. I am actually pretty skinny, although I eat. A LOT. But I also love to exercise, and I eat healthy. Plus I have a fast metabolism. Im lucky, I guess, but its still annoying having people who don't even know you call you anorexic/bulimic.

It's probably healthy for you to gain some weight. 106 is still very small. Be careful -- you may be anorexic.

I am overweight. At 4'10" I think you are doing just fine with a weight of 106. I am 5'5" and weight 160. Now THAT is overweight.
And how do you say if you are overweight ot not? Is it your opinion or something else? I use the BMI Index to see if I am overweight or not. Since doctor's often use it to place patients in categories I figured it was a nice way to tell.

Well, I don't consider myself overweight, though I must admit I could have some fat where I don't want them to be. I think most of us struggle to keep fit. And then lately, since I got sick I have been trying to 'rest' and I've been inactive for awhile and I think I am gaining weight. You have mentioned that you are trying to conceive. I think being overweight has some effect on trying to conceive. My hubby and I waited for a few years to conceive. When he finally joined a gym and started being active, that's when we finally conceived! Though I wouldn't think that you are that overweight. Just try to relax and be positive.
