My wife is 5'4" and 125lbs. She has a lot of muscle though, especially her legs. She's a runner and runs 2 or 3 half marathons a year. She's run the L.A. Marathon twice and finished in just over 4 hours. Very low body fat percentage and a resting heart rate of around 40 bpm.

i doubt this girl is a marathon runner.

Yeah, probably not.
 
lol that's like me...i'm 5'7", 125...well a little heavier than me

I'd say she's reasonably thin--the ribcage won't be poking out, that's for sure. She's not fat/chubby but certainly not aneorexic (sp); I think it's a good balance.
 
That's not heavy at all, it depends on the person. She could actually be quite thin, but muscular. My girlfriend is very thin, but she ran track for a long time and played tennis. She's tiny, only 5'4" but weighs about 125 and nobody would look at her and think she was anything but tiny. If this girl is a trainer, I'd assume she's just got a low body fat.

Edit: Perhaps I missed something in the thread, but if you met this girl at a bar, and can't remember what she looked like (except that she's smoking), how would you know how much she weighed? How many girls give up their weight? Oh, and if you know she's smoking, why the hell does this matter in the first place? Sounds to me like you saw a hot picture of someone on an internet dating site and looked at the height/weight posted and wanted to make sure the picture added up.

15-20 lbs overweight

how could you consider that height & weight to overweight? maybe if you like the kind of girls that are flat chest, no butts with ribcages sticking out. those girls look kinda unhealth to me.
 
About average. Anyone who's saying she's thick or overweight needs to quit staring at those Fredericks of Hollywood mags all day.
 
5' 6" 130lbs. sounds good to me especially if she is a trainer because muscle has more density than fat. I've known plenty of girls that height in the 130-145 range who do running, swimming, soccer, dance etc... with smokin hot bodies. Even if she does nothing at all that is nowhere close to overweight but maybe a bit thick.

i'm too used to asian girls.
 
Considering most ATers are ~6', 110, I'm guessing the overwhelming majority of responses will be along the lines of "omg lolol she iz ph4t!!1!" 😉 Can't blame them, I fear women who could beat me up too. Fortunately, for me, that's limited to the manly bodybuilding ones you see on ESPN 😛

NO. hahaha. Ive talked to her on the phone for a week or two and it just got thrown out there how much she ways
 
Yea i got it off some site you got me. I work in the hottest bar in philly. Screw you who say its off a site. I meet smoking woman just never really thought about the womanly weight to hight ratio. I pick up hotter woman than prolly 95% of you guys so stop with the accusations. HAHAHA

Thought i was pissed there huh? HAHAHA
 
My wife is 5'5" and about 130. She is by no means a stick but is not anywhere near fat. You can reasonably expect some thigh and belly fat but it will probably give more curve than bloat. My wife carries alot of weight on her chest (36 C) so depending on chest size that will also determine how she looks with that weight.

Personally I say who cares whether that is fat or thin, decide if you like her and want to be with her.
