Anyone who considers a 5'3" 125lbs female "chunky" is on crack and watches entirely too much Howard Stern and anime.

QFT.

My wife is 5'5"-125 and looks damn good. She works out a lot, though (even has a six pack, not bad for 3 kids). :thumbsup: to her!

meausrements would allow a more educated opinion

but it isn't as fat as me, so i wouldn't criticize
 
125 and 5'3" can mean a lot of things. My ex was 5'2" and 120 lbs and was a cute little pixie with most of her weight in her thighs (eastern european build). She lost weight and was a very trim 110. So, yeah, 125 probably means she's a little pudgy but that could be cute. And, who cares? meet her- it's possible that you'll be charmed by her even if she's a porker or that you'll hate her even if she's a hottie.. know what I mean? Try to have fun and good luck 🙂
 
I was under the impression, 5'6" at 125 lbs was normal, slim, not overly muscular or extra fat beyond the normal 21% body fat considered average for most women. Then, for women every inch of height adds 3-6 pounds of weight. And for every inch lost, substract that. So average weight for a woman at 5'3" should be about 110-113 pounds, give or take a pound or two. Now, this is for the average. Add in some extra muscle (and even a little bit extra wouldn't be too noticeable to people not knowing the difference between average and "lean") and that body weight can have anywhere from and extra 5-10 pounds. More muscle then an extra 5-10 pounds does start to show in extra definition and would definately be considered "athletic" for a body type.

Then again, 5-10 pounds of extra muscle wouldn't show but 5-10 pounds of fat would. It will have to depend on the person and genetics for how much that shows. If that person is lucky and all the extra fat goes to the boobs, hips, and buttocks to make them look "endowed" but still average. Then many in our society would call that a hottie. If it all goes to the belly, or thighs for thunder thigs or even placed wrong along the upper part of the hips to give the butt a strange shape.... then it does look on the chub side.

For most women, it's going to be the later effect of having 5-10 extra pounds of fat. So a 5'3" at 125 pounds might indeed look chubby, but in the right clothes would be very hard to notice. It could also be someone very lean and on the edge of some muscular definition for a women.
 
that sounds like a "normal" woman to me... I have a friend about that and she was still hot the last time I saw her. Of course now she's 7 months prego.

educated opinions anyone?

chubby

or big boned


unless she has no rack at all, that can save 5 lbs of fat

My girlfriend is 5'10" and 125...and that seems just right to me.

so your banging a skeleton?
QFT!!! 😀:beer:

Yeah...I fancy that over your preferred method of giving yourself a "stranger".
 
My gf is roughly that. Was bony-er at <110lbs and 5'3", but I don't think she's fat/chunky/whatever right now.
 
Really? You posted about this! Tells everyone what kind of douche you are!!
/me looks at the date of the topic.
Yeah, I guess we know who is the douche now.
