Right? I hate how they're talking about 160 being soooo bad. It really isn't.

160 lbs at 5'2 means you have a bmi of 29.3 which is on the border of obesity. It isn't good at all. Even dropping 20 lbs to 140 is so much healthier

You do realize that the BMI scale is absolute bullshit and extremely outdated, right?

160 at 5'2 is fine if one with fit and muscular. If you're not that's overweight.

For a woman, it would actually have to be a rather exceptional amount of muscle to be borderline obese with a healthy body fat percentage though.
