If those scales show you as overweight, don’t go grabbing for the diet pills just quite yet. According to a new study by the University of South Carolina, Columbia, it’s okay to be slightly overweight as long as you eat healthy and get a good amount of exercise. By no means is it healthy to be obese, but if you’re just a few pounds more than you’d like to be, you may be fine depending on your lifestyle.

For some odd reason, even though I feel like I weigh a fairly average amount, I always come up on the low end, close to underweight when compared to my height. I don’t agree though, I don’t see how I could be underweight.
