I personally am about 18 lbs overweight. It's really about confidence if you are always wondering if your overweight and constantly looking at your self and are not happy with it you should try to work Out and lay off Ben and jerrys. But really I think I am beautiful. ;) I don't think 20 lbs is a problem unless you are under 5 feet.
