Am I Obese If I Am 5 Feet 7 Inches Tall And Weigh 185 Pounds?
I am 5 feet 7 inches tall and I weigh 185 pounds. Am I obse? I know I am over weight. I am a 47 year old female. I have no health issues. I am premenopausal. I exercise on average 2 a week. I aim for 3 to four times per week and usually make three, but there are times where I may go a week or two without any gym time. I watch what I eat, but do on weekends, like to drink red wine.

Hello!
I had gone through your query.
Considering your weight and height you are overweight.
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 29.
For BMI 25-29.9 is considered Overweight.
For BMI of 30 or greater is condsidered Obesity.
So you are not obese but in borderline.
I suggest to increase your kevel of physical activity at least 5 days a week.
Eat healthy foods,mostly green vegetables,drink plenty of fluids.
Hope it answered your query.
Wish you all the best.
