be careful with being too conscerned about your weight.  What size pants are you wearing should be a more appropriate question.  I am 5'11 and 210 lbs, now doesn't that sound fat to you.  Now add in the 6% bodyfat and all the sudden not so fat anymore.  It doesn't matter how much you weigh unless you are using that as a guideline to track your traing progress.  If you go to that website and type in your appropriate age,weight,height 90% of the time unless you are carrying luggage on your head alonside elephants and wearing clothes made out of foliage, you will be overwieght.  Those indexes were thought out years ago and the mathmatical equation for a male my height would resemble someone like steve Erckle.  If you feel overweight, watch the foods you are eating at home and get more involved in organized sports.

You are currently near the top of the healthy weight range for your height, which means you may be at risk for becoming overweight.  But if you're still growing and you add another inch or two, then that won't necessarily be a problem.  \n\nLosing five pounds sounds doable.  Just cut back on the junk food and sodas (I know, that's hard for teenagers but it's worth it to your health) and work a little more exercise into your life.  You'll be glad you did.\n\n(See the Ideal Body Weight Calculator for Kids and Adults at the link below.)

you are actually underweight... \nto calculate for ideal body weight is start with 100 pounds with a 5"0 frame... then add 5 pounds per inch. since you're 5"0 (100 lbs) and 8", 8x5 = 40 so that's 140 lbs for you. and don't forget, there is like a 15 to 20 allowance for that (usually for older women). \nhowever im concerned about your perception of your own body. just eat healthy to maintain that weight, but don't starve yourself. you need to incorporate protein in your diet and it looks like you haven't been eating much -- eat a little bit more and take mulitivitamins. drink lots of water to prevent dehydration.

Age doesn't really matter.  Height and sex does.\n\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/13799/html/how_much_should_i_weigh_.html

From what my doctor tells me, you should weigh about 120-135 max. Hope that helps. But don't forget-round is a shape.

no, i'm 18, and i'm 5'3, 107 pounds, and i think i look perfectly normal.  don't worry, i'm pretty sure that you look great.  \n\nif you're still not confident with my answer, check out your BMI (Body Mass Index) at this website : http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

I think your weight and height is fine. My child weights 115 and is 5'5.  beside you shouldn't worry about your weight, you should worry about your body fat.  It should be about 18%.  Here's how I put on weight, I had to kids.  at 17, I don't recommend it.  Since you frame is smallest, why would you want to put on weight?  What is the weight went on and you blimped out, you'd waddle like a penguin, would you be happy then? Stop it, you are fine, leave well enough alone, someday you might put on that weight and believe me you will not like it.

well, you are above your ideal weight range - at 5'2" your weight should be from 105 to 120 lbs. but if you are fit and do not have any health problems, you shouldnt worry too much about your weight.

hey im 12 and i weigh 123 but my height is 5'7 so it depends on the height. and yea you are still growing and so am i. so you will get thinner and just stay away form junking stuff. your BMI is probably: 22 but mine is: 19 but like i said it depends on the height. so dont worry we are still growing at the age of 12. if you want more with your weight go to www.deathclock.com and it tells you your BMI and if your over weight,perfect,desirable,or a little chunky. i went there and it said my: BMI was 19 and i was desirable and said if i go 5 more puonds i'll be underweight and you dont want to go there. well GOOD LUCK!

I think 119 at 5'2 is fine.  I am 5'5 and normally weigh 130 and I don't look overweight.  Don't worry about the shots.  It's just like getting pinched for a second.  Just close your eyes and don't think about it.

You are right to consider your weight in relation to your height. From what you say there is nothing wrong.\nFor reliable advice about body weight, diet and nutrition look here:

Nno, you are not overweight.  Check out your body mass index (BMI) on this website:\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.htm\n\nyour BMI is about 19.5 which is a little on the light side for your size.  Man, you are one tall pre-teen.  I'm a full-grown man, and I'm only 5'8.  Your body bascially won't stop growing until around your early twenties.

The ideal weight depends on the BMI (Body Mass Index) and that in turn depends on your weight and your height. Your weight is considered normal if your BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. Going by that, you can be anywhere from 110-145lbs. Here is a link to calculate your BMI.\n\nhttp://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/\n\nRegards\n Vivek
