Is this a likable shape? Or am I still obese?

Wow, you're pretty far from obese!

I think that's a very healthy looking figure!

Would it get approval by lads? I have always hated the way I look!

I'm not sure if it's the best idea to walk round in your underwear! Ha ha!

But yes, I'm sure you would, you've got mine!

That certainly isn't obese.

And one thing you don't want is approval. No one should be there to judge you based on appearance and if they do then they aren't worth your time.

Why do you have such self esteem problems??

Approval is a hard thing to judge, some men like 300 lb ladies and a 120 lb one does not look near as good as the 300 lb one, some like this or that. But yes the shape is very good and would meet the general acceptable standard

Hey you have a great body.. looks and shape is not everything in this world.. it helps sure :) but its not the B all and end all. I mean I'm amazingly good looking but I'm crap at relationships so I get many girls.. but they never stay long.

Don't worrie about it ;)

I will agree with truefaith, in my many years, I knew many wonder ladies, dated a few beauty queens from time to time, but it is not all in the looks, some of the prettiest ladies had no personality what so ever, not a person you would want to spend a few hours with.

So in the overview of life, it is always the who you are, more than the what you look like that is important.

I think you're obsessed w/ this! No kidding

Calling this "obese". Sorry...

It's not the size of your waist that counts the most! I hope you know this.

I think you may have issues that need to be addressed, if you feel the need to get the approval of strangers.

I'm not a 'lad' :) but I wanted to comment. A woman is considered obese if they are more than 25% over their MAXIMUM desirable weight for their height and age (it's 20% for men). To put that in perspective... let's say you were 5'4" tall and 25 years old. The maximum desireable weight for that height is approx 111 to 146 lbs. To be considered obese you would have to weigh 182 lbs (25% of 146).

As you can see there is a great variance in the "ideal" weight for a female of the height and age. As long as they fit somewhere below the middle (128 lbs or less) there should be no cause for concern. If they weighed more than that, then they should be ensuring that they are eating properly (and by properly I don't mean too much - but the right foods) and getting proper exercise (a moderate to high activity level).

As others here have said, it's too bad you are so concerned what other people think. You must learn to be happy with yourself the way you are and not give so much credence to the opinions of others. SINCERE people are attracted by far more than body size. In fact, in a good relationship, body size should only be an issue if your partner is concerned for your health.

I actually would consider you a bit thin, but I am presuming that you are fairly young and pretty active. Your body knows it's proper weight... listen to it.

Well in my opinion I think you have a very good body but really it doesn't mattter what we thik it is your body the question should be do you like it.
