are you overweight if you are 5'10'' and weigh 200 pounds?

Question:

Answers:
do NOT go by what some random chart says. I saw that some above said 100 pounds for 5 feet and 6 pounds for each inch over or some bullshit. You cannot believe these charts because these charts do not know YOU.

I am 5'6" and weigh about 60 pounds MORE than what a chart says I should. If you ask my doctor he will tell you I am only 10 pounds overweight. The reason being I have very very naturally large breasts. Some people have denser bones, others have large breasts, some (like my aunt) have over 30 pounds of hair on their head. Each person is different therefore a standard chart CANNOT determine your health.

Speak to your doctor if you are concerned. If you feel good then you are good. But mysterious weight can also mean there is the possibility of a hidden medical issue. If you do not look overweight but your scale keeps adding pounds on there could be a tumor or some other problem INSIDE causing this change in weight.

Better to be safe than sorry.

i would said yes

Unless you have massive muscles, yes.

Yes. 100 pounds for the first 5 feet and 6 pounds for every inch after that.

Therefore you're 40 pounds over.

yes for a chick a boy would be more muscular

well you're a girl. so yes. im 5'10" and weigh 200 and im a guy and i am considered obese so... :| LOSE WEIGHT WITH ME! :) PEACE

Unless you are a muscular guy, you are overweight.

Yes, by about 40 pounds.

I'm afraid one is a bit obese.

I would have to know how you look. Some people have really dense bones and therefore weigh more. You may be, but you may not.

DEPENDS ON UR AGE

it depends on your lifestyle i think. and how your body is made...i am 6ft and i am about 210 people would say i am overwhiet..but i dont really look it at all and i am active..i am just naturally a large girl. i say if you have a healthy life style then you are not overweight..plus you whieat is a combo of muscle mass, fast mass, and bone mass..if you have mor emusle then fat i would have to say no..if you have dense bones i would have to say no. if yu have large breast i would again have to say no. you can never go by a chart becasue poples bodies very..if i was the wieght the chart suggests i would look too skinny and every sickly..im fine where i am.
