For most women 5'5'' 150 is overweight. Not to create controversy here, but the real question (unanswered) is what is healthy. There is going to be a range of healthy and 5'5'' 150 may well be in that range, but in terms of looks if I may use Mrs. Chicup as an example, at 5'7-5'8'' 150 she was unhappy with her looks, and had some good size love handles.
Now the vague area (even more vague than healthy) is was she HWP. I'm sure that some would have said 'hell ya!' while others woulda thought she was fat.
The end result is to her she was fat and she started doing intensive exercising and diet to lower the weight and shape her body better and I've been very proud of her efforts.
So as for HWP in profiles, its almost as meaningless as saying BBW.
