Personal Trainer
Amy was in great shape back in 2012. In one interview given to axs.com in 2012, Amy stated that she loves different styles of training such as hiking, boxing, and yoga.
However, there’s a huge transformation going on in Amy’s body (as she has gained a little bit of weight), so we can definitely say that her passion for exercising has maybe disappeared. Obviously keeping her body in shape is not Amy’s primary goal anymore.

She is probably 170 cm 75 or 78 kg. Because her legs are lean but she has belly fat. that means body fat isa little overweight. And 70 as you claim is last normal line for normal weight. So I thinkshe is 75 kg around.
What a ridiculous misinformation and bragging about her body shape and weight. She is more than 70Kg, some sources state 75+ kg. An hourglass? I don’t see her waistline, only fat emergency ring instead of one. If she lies, make sure you get the facts straight.
She isn’t over 165. I weight about the same as her & I’m 5’7 as well. Her weight is accurate.
I’m 169 cm and 160 llbs but I look slimmer than her. Change the weight to 166 llbs.
Stop body shaming..I think shes ?what ever size she is…
No one is shaming her.. People are trying to find out how fat she really is. I would say her weight of 163 lbs at 5′ 7″ is accurate.
