There are some clinical definitions for fat. Not too long ago, I met the clinical definition of obese (more than 50 lbs above my recommended weight). I am well on my way to losing most of this (currently 32 lbs and counting). However the way I carry my weight didn't make me look grossly obese. Some people carry weight differently and 5 lbs on one person can appear quite different than 5 lbs on another person. Personally I think people should be at a weight they are comfortable at mentally and live with it. I was comfortable for a number of years until I decided I couldn't stand the look of myself in the mirror anymore. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I soon will be.
