Really depends on how she carries it.
My minimum possible weight is 114, I am 132 and I have little fat in my waist area. It's all butt, thighs and boobs and I carry it well.
If she is carrying 40 extra pounds and it's evenly proportioned and she carries herself nicely then I wouldn't know the difference. Obviously, if she is overweight, she is overweight, but sometimes even extra weight isn't enough to tip me off if she wears it well.
This is what I've thought about it and it applies to *adults*, both men and women. I know there is nothing scientific about it. I'm just trying to give you a ballpark figure of what I *personally* think about categories that relate to weight.
30lbs< past their individual ideal weight is "overweight"
60lbs< is "obese"
100lbs< is "morbidly obese"
Anything up to 30lbs over their ideal weight, just seems like a little extra cushioning and nothing to get excited about if they are living actively and healthily.
For me, I think it really depends. I've seen people who, according to charts, are overweight or underweight, yet to me seem healthy. And vice versa. In my opinion, there are a few factors which BMI charts don't seem to take into account. One that springs to mind is body type. I don't know, like I said, it depends on the person.
