This is ridiculous. Someone who is 5'4" and "exceeds ten pounds" (meaning the would weigh in at 130 instead of 120) is not obese to say the least. Consider the density of bone, the frame of the person, and depending on the muscle mass, weight can vary much more. This would mean only five more pounds on my body and I am considered obese, while I still fit comfortable into a size 26" jean, or a 2-4 dress size.

Not accurate at all.

I fit in the category. I'm 5'3", and I always thought I was supposed to be about 120 lbs. Now, I know I'm only supposed to be 115 lbs. Thank you for posting this. Well done. Keep up with the great work. Keep on penning. Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful talents with us. *S* Cynthia
