Is weighing 190 pounds considered being overweight if you are 5 feet 5 inches?

I'm assuming you're female. Yes, 190 pounds is considered overweight for your height. It used to be a rule of thumb that you should weigh 100lbs if you are 5ft, and add five - 10 pounds for every inch taller. This is a height and weight chart from the office of the Surgeon General: http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/topics/obesity/calltoaction/fact_advice.htm
