too fat or overweight? different questions here

[Onlyboyintheworld]

Either too fat or overweight , please answer both

[Mufasaa]

No, you're not. 13 stone is fine.


Waist seems a bit off though, same as me but I'm a teeny bit shorter and 3 stone heavier.

[marcusmerehay]

Overweight? Yes, compared to the general public, though I wouldn't say that abnormal for someone of your height - it's certainly not something to get het up about if you feel healthy.

One thing that confuses me slightly is the size of your waist - myself i'm somewhere between a 34/36, of average build and yet I'm 14st 11ib so over a stone heavier (admittedly that could be down to a number of factors).

[sconter]

yes is the answer. lose fat, gain muscle = win.

general rule. if you seriously ask if you are too fat, you are.

Based on your waist that must be 13 stone of fat with skinny arms and chicken legs. What would you estimate your BF%/got pics?

[intermediary]

You're very slightly overweight according to your BMI. Lose weight if it would make you feel better. I personally wouldn't call you fat based on your height/weight but it's about what you feel.

[Sullster]

Ignore BMI for a start its a load of crap. I don't know why anyone really uses it as it doesn't take into account any other physiological factors.

When I joined the RAF I weighed 13st 11lbs and only 5ft 8inches. My waist was also a 36. My BMI was indicated around 29.5, saying I was nearly obese. I clearly wasn't and was able to smash my fitness test easily.

So unless you have severe excess fat hanging over your waist or huge bingo wings I wouldn't worry about it. Plus at your age its still easier to shift weight if you wanted to.

yes you are fat. /thread

people telling you otherwise in a thread w/out pics may give u an excuse to not lift, but won't alter the fact you are fat.
