Shit is fat, any anyone posting pics of non-fat chicks is lying to help their own self-esteem.

I weighed 185 (6'3) when I got out of basic training. And I still had a mini-beer belly.

A healthy 5' 5" female who is not extremely muscular should be in the 130-150 range, maybe. At 160+, you're talking fat. Is she a hippo? No. Can she still be attractive? Yes. But she is overweight, a.k.a. fat.

Not everyone is a string bean. I'm 6' and approaching 260 and I don't have a beer gut, or any gut really.

Um no he isn't....

Normal BMI for men is from 18.5 to 25.

Beev's BMI is 21.1, which is fine, unless he is a power lifter...

According to BMI my ideal weight is around 160lbs but I am a bit of a power lifter. BMI is broke if you're even moderately athletic.

'Beer gut' may be the wrong 'official' terminology. I just never got a flat stomach or totally eliminated 'love handles.'

If you're that height/weight and not 'fat,' you either work out a hell of a lot or are just generally built like a tree.

It's sexist, I guess, but super-stout wide-framed guys probably don't get called overweight much. But for women, being wide in any dimension is pretty much considered such.

'Thems are some broad shoulders you got there, ma'am...please don't pummel me.'

Also I am refering to Body fat not bmi. bmi is meaningless.

BMI is not meaningless. It was intended as a tool for medical professionals, not a simplistic guideline as to whether a person is fat or not. For the vast majority of people though if you're significantly above your ideal BMI then yeah, you should lose some weight. The only person I've known whose BMI made him overweight even though he looked skinny was a guy from my soccer team who runs several marathons per year. When you've got that much leg muscle then BMI becomes dubious.
 
DVad3r's girlfriend is quicker and tougher than you pansies. Course she's 5'5'' 165 pounds and runs a 4.5 40.

Depends on how she carries it, but generally no a 5'5 165 lb chick isn't fat. Muscle weighs more than fat after all.

In the real world, 99% of 5'5" 165 females are not muscular at all and rarely if ever step foot in a gym. Yes, there are outliers, but the large majority are going to be fatties.

Are you guys sure? I was trying to do some searches and it said that it can be a 50/50 depending on the build. The chick in question is supposed to have 34 D jugs and a big ass.

That's it? That doesn't seem too big for that large of a woman.

No way, lol. If she ran a 4.5 40, she would be one the fastest women in the world. A 4.5 40, would translate to a 11.3 or lower 100 meters. I seriously doubt that at 165 lbs for woman no less she can turn that kind of 40. I ran a 4.45-4.48 consistently and the best 100 I turned in was 10.9 and 22.3 200.
 
Honestly OP, 165 is going to be a bit chunky at the very least. Since she has big boobs I could see her getting to 125 or 130 without being too big but there is almost no way she could be that short and weight 165 without being a bit round in some areas. Obviously, the big boobs would help offset that, but there will be some extra trimming on that turkey.

Unless you are built like an NFL linebacker you are probably fat.

See my workout log in H&F :awe:

Not only do I move heavy shit on a regular basis but I also do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and I think I'm pretty athletic, I haven't had my bf% tested lately but given when I've had it tested before I'm between 13-15%.
