It's important to speak to your doctor if you are concerned that
you may be overweight. More than your outward appearance as a
concern, your inner health should be of great concern as well.
Being overweight can take its' toll on your heart, lungs, liver,
brain, eyes, kidneys and your bones. It can even affect
reproduction and your menstrual cycles.
130 pounds isn't overweight when your height and other physical
health factors come into play. Please speak with your physician if
this is a concern.
