it's definitely not an unhealthy amount of extra weight by any means, but it is extra weight

I feel like 10 pound is noticeably different on anyone though unless you’re super tall. I’m 5’7 and Ik when I gained 10 pounds it was noticeable

yeah it's definitely not unnoticeable on anyone, but for short people it's a dramatic difference

ngl as someone around this height and weight, i feel like ive just been called overweight by this comment (“yes 120 or 130 is overweight for us”)… no it isn’t. this is the weight i’ve gotten to after having an ED… and like #1 said, 10 pounds can noticeable for anyone not just someone shorter. either way, OP is right and it’s not overweight and people shouldn’t be putting that unhealthy narrative out here, even like this comment is kinda doing in a less direct way :/

hey so i love how you assumed i wasn’t short — i was actually this exact height and weight in middle school! my BMI was around 23 when we calculated it in gym class. the threshold for being overweight is 25. my stomach was relatively flat at 120lbs also so even with thicker thighs i did not look overweight either

also we have to consider lean vs fat mass!! at two different points in my life I’ve been 150lbs, 19ish and now. i looked 2x the size at 19 than i do now bc it was fat back then and not muscle. people consistently assume i weigh closer to 130 when they look at me now vs 150. I have a little extra padding around the middle bc of pcos but i am nowhere near being obese like looking solely at my height and weight would suggest

120 is not overweight it’s a normal weight for someone 5’1 because if u go anything under that then it’ll be underweight…it’s difficult for short ppl to gain or lose because if we gain too much we’re over weight but if we lose too much we’re underweight 🧍🏻‍♀️
