I am also 5ft 3in and weigh 165lbs. According to our BMI we're overweight and are at increased risk for some health problems. Being 'fat' I think is how you view yourself and how much confidence you have. If you're weight is bothering you, loose some in a healthy manner and see what that does for your self-image. I have lost 50lbs and I'd have to say I don't feel "fat" at 165... I felt fat at 216lbs. I am still wanting to loose more weight and am slowly but surely, because I'm doing it right by changing my lifestyle. Personally though, I don't think I'm fat, just not 'fit' which is where I'd like to be so I am confident and comfortable with myself. Hope this satisfies some of your question!!

I just came back from the cardiologist, thinking Im in pretty good shape. I'm 5"3 and 130 pounds. He told me ideal weight for me would be 115, so I could add 10 pounds to that , which would be 125. So I guess I have to get to work losing 5 pounds.

No your fine It just matters about your height.Don't let people tell you you are cause your not.:)

A healthy BMI (Body Mass Index) for adults is between 18.5 and 24.9 (weight divided by height, squared x 703). Adults with a BMI of less than 18.5 are considered underweight. Adults with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 are considered overweight. Adults with a BMI of 30 or more are considered excessively overweight, or obese.

For your age and height you are at a BMI of 24.1. This means that you are still in a healthy weight zone. 141 pounds would be the border for you between healthy and unhealthy weight.
