I am a preteen and I used to weigh a whopping 130lbs. I then lost weight in a month. ten pounds. Am I healthy? Did I loose my weight too fast or something because i feel really different. And everyone is complimenting me, I am afraid that they are just being nice. What do you think?

I did the exact same thing, At age 13 I weighed about 125 and in about one month I lost closer to 15 lbs, right before I turned 14.  Totally normal.  Enjoy it and stay active.

I'm 5'8 and I wish I weighed 145....lol....you are fine....after you have kids, its normal to be a little heavier than you were before you had kids.....plus girls look better with a little meat on their bones (and it doesn't sound like you have much at 145)....relax!

That's fine.  I'm 26 years old.  I'm 5'5' and I'm only 100 lbs.  I've been the same since the age of 17.  People say I'm too skinny and say I should gain wieight, but I'm healthy.  THEY ARE JEALOUS.  I have a normal appetite.  I don't like soda, fries or junk food and I love walking and biking and other sports.  99% of the time, if someone tells you crap like that, THEY ARE JEALOUS.  When my mom comments, I know it's out of concern.  If you have an eating dissorder, tell someone you are comforable talking to and get help.  But if you are healthy, you should not care about what other people say.  If they call you skin and bones, don't be offended.  Just be glad you're not fat.  Don't be offensive or rude.  Fat people have a lot harder of a time than we do... but it's true we all get crap for something... being skinny, being fat, being black, being american, being different than the person talking shit.  Don't be offended or offensive.  You'll be fine.

Some people say you are fat? Give me a break, they are kidding, do you not know what sarcasm is?\n\nThe truth is that you are very underweight, in fact dangerously underweight. If your body fat drops too low you end up with all kinds of problems, go and see your doctor NOW! HTH : )

You are not overweight. Losing 10 lbs when you are only 113 lbs now would only make you look emaciated. I know because I am 5'3" and for a while weighed about 115. I was all bones, except for the flabby tummy. People who had known me for years kept telling me to eat!!! As for the tummy, exercise (crunches, etc) should do the trick unless you have had kids.... Then the tummy will never be the same!!!

As a girl, it seems to me, you could stand to lose about 10 pounds, depending on how the weight is spred.  I know I'm right there too, getting to where I need to start eating more healthy I mean.   You're not fat, just have a few extra pounds (and if it's in the right place, that can be a good thing).\n\n(I had to look up how tall 164 cm was haha, it was nice of you to give the weight in pounds too though.)

A better question to ask is do you really need to lose 10 pounds. If you are over weight follow the advice about decreasing your calorie intake, make sure you exercise. Since you changed your question from 20 lbs to 10 lbs. I suspect that you are probably perfect just the way you are and that you are letting an incredibility distorted body image sold by the media make you feel too heavy.

You're really, really bored, aren't you?  I'm rather shocked at people who are taking you seriously.  In my humble opinion, you are severely underweight.  At your height, you should not weigh less than 350.  Eat up, snookums!

i know what u mean! well, kinda, you see, i was like that...ok, i lie, i am like that...and i dont know what it is. counsleing, and crap is trying to help me figure the source, but i dont think it is for beauty, i think it goes far beyaond that by being called fat by my father when i was only 6 years old..then by my sibblings. although i was never fat. i am under my weight now, too far, and it hasnt made me beautiful, and it never will. annorexia only gets you a lot of teasing and embarrassment, and into a deep puddle of mud. i wish i could get help, but all i can get help from is my mom and a youth pastor. i feel lonly and lost, and it is a troubling disease to have. it scares me and makes me sad.

What I would suggest is to get a chart from a doctor's office or maybe you can get it from the internet as well by doing a google search. \n\n114 pounds sounds healthy for a 13 year old girl. \n\nThe chart will help you with this. It goes according to your body size, are you small, medium, or big boned.\nHow old are you\nIt tells you what your ultimate weight should be and if you are at that ultimate weight, then your waist size is good too.

i think it depends on your relationship with the person and the situation...\ni had put on some weight once and ran into an aquaintance and at first i felt kinda wierd cuz i had gained the weight and kinda embarrassed....but then the girl said "it's been a long time since i've seen you...you look great, you've put on some weight and you look so healthy and so much less stressed out"\n....you might ask how she's doing...maybe she just had a baby or maybe she has  a health issue...\nor maybe say "wow you've changed so much since i last saw you..." and then add a compliment like "i really like how you're wearing your hair now, you look great"

I don't think she's fat at all!, my friend is skin and bones and thought she was fat, and she was trieng to loose weight, i kept telling her she's not and so did MANY other people, i also showed her the averge weight 4 a 13 year old online and she finally reliezed that she wasn't fat and stopped trieng to loose weight. Maybe you should do what i did and kept telling her she's not fat, try to get some of you guys friends support 2.

If you're trying to lose weight very fast, think again. It's not very healthy. Please talk to your doctor, he'll be very pleased that you're concerned about your health and he may have some good ideas. Don't listen to people who are professionals.

Eat healthy well balanced meals, don't skip breakfast, increase your water intake, and make sure you do at least 30-45 minutes of aerobic exercise daily.  Your health is more important than the amount of weight your are losing.  From the information you listed, you seem to be in a fairly healthy range.  You are only 14 yrs old and that is when most young women start noticing a fluctation in weight and body image.  Don't start stressing yourself too hard about your weight unless you are unhealthy.\n\nIf you can, speak to your doctor and ask her/him about proper nutrition, weight, and exercise for your age.  Good luck.

Don't worry about it. Really. If you are happy and you know you're not anorexic,it really doesn't matter what other people think. I look at it that they're probably just jealous. Have fun! Go shopping!  :)

I've actually had a similar situation.  I used to weigh about 30 lbs. more than I do now.  And everyone who knew me then tells me I am so skinny now...too skinny.  I'm 5'5" & 135 lbs!  I'm perfectly healthy.  I guess some people just look better "thicker"  I also got a lot more attention from the opposite sex when I was heavier.  As long as you're healthy & happy, don't worry about what other people think!\n\np.s. your "friend" is a jerk for saying that!
