I am 6' tall, about 240 lbs., and 46 years old.  I would love to lose about 50 pounds but at this point in my life I don't think its likely to happen.  I think a person just needs to be happy with who they are.

At your age you shouldn't worry about weight fat or anything like that.  You have yet to hit puberty.  When you do your going to grow fast and you will get thin.  Give your self another 10-15 years before you begin to worry about your weight!  I used to be chunky at your age.  Six years later I was skinny as a rail, and that's pretty much stayed with me since then (that was 9 years ago for me).  I didn't diet (I ate like a pig actually) and I did some excercise, but not alot.  It stayed with me because I had a healthy life style of eating balanced diet and excercised as I grew.  I still keep up with that.  Also Genetics will play into your weight some.  I'm built exactily like my mom.  I can look at here and see what I will look like 20 years from now (and I probably won't change much from my current looks).  Don't worry about your weight unless you are way over or under your BMI (Body Mass Index) for your height.  Do a search for your BMI, that will give you a good idea.

Well, I recently decided to go on a diet because I am also 5'6 but I weigh 160 lbs. My doctor encouraged me to drop about 10 -15lbs, because I am supposedly "above average"! Actually he showed me the BMI (Body Mass Index) and it proved that as a "female" w/ my height I am supposed to be 115-145 in order to be considered healthy! I dont know I was suprised too, I know I should lose my stomach fat, but hey I guess I need to do more than that.

hang on. you should've put your age. if you're above 30 years old and you're 57kg and 160 cm (rare but whatever) you are around a normal weight (or even nearly under it) so you shouldn't be bothering with a diet. if you want to reach fitness eat in moderation and get your fair share of exercise. and like someone said in this you must burn more calories than you take in. if you burn off calories but eat more calories you're bound to put on weight. if you are, like, 11 then i can agree with the above you are overweight and if you really are around 11 you shouldn't be going on a diet. if you are over 30 or even over 20, don't think about losing think about maintaining. you can find stuff like that over the internet. if you are on the under 15 side i think you should loose 1-5 kilos depending on your age. oh yeah, you said you want to reach fitness, if you're already on the way to that your weight could be due to muscle mass so i wouldn't worry about losing anything.

Just leave yourself the way you are.  You are just a bit skinny and that is sexy.  You will naturally gain weight as you get older, trust me.

A good way for anyone to loose weight is eat right and exercise.  I don't think age matters on this question.

shut up people!  it depends on whether it's all flab weight or do you do exercise?  I'm 5'8", weight 160, put wear a size 8 - really.  but I play a lot of sports.  also, at 16, your body is going through a lot of hormonal changes yet so be active, but don't be obsessed about weight

In my opinion, the last thing you need on your mind is losing weight at your age. Don't worry about gaining weight, you are still a growing child. You can't stop gaining no matter how hard you try. Don't start losing any more weight, continuing eating and being a preteen.

How To Gain Weight \n\n\n\nThis one seems like a no-brainer, eh? How do you gain weight? You eat. You cannot gain weight without eating... in the exact opposite of losing weight, actually, you cannot gain weight without consuming more calories than you burn off. \n\nThe bigger question, in our weight-loss worshipping world, is why would you want to gain weight? Fact is that sometimes we become too thin, dangerously so, to the point where we begin to suffer all these negative side effects and eventually death. Sometimes gaining weight is a pretty attractive option by comparison. Being at a healthy weight helps every system of our body function better, allows us to heal from damage, and gives us reserves as protection against stress or illness as well. \n\nThe tougher part of weight-gain is how to do it in a healthy manner. Just as rapid weight-loss can be dangerous, so can rapid weight gain. Many EDs who go through rapid recovery end up with too high a bodyfat percentage, too much fat stored around their internal organs, compromised health, and high cholesterol. This is in part because traditional anorexic "recovery" diets are aimed at bulking up the patient as quickly as possible by fat-loading everything they eat with no thought for the health quality of the food being given. \n\nIt's safer to aim for a gain of one or two pounds a week so as to not put undue stress on your recovering system and to know that you're rebuilding bone, muscle, and nutrient stores instead of just frantically storing fat. It's more important to restore your body's protein, elemental, vitamin, water, fat and sugar balances than to simply send the numbers on the scale up. Once you do this, given sufficient raw materials your body will rebuild itself more strongly. \n\n\n\nIn The Beginning\n\nIf you're deciding to gain weight, odds are it's because you're underweight. If you're underweight, barring a purely illness-related weight-loss problem which should really be addressed by a doctor instead, you have probably not been eating enough. If you haven't been eating enough for a while, your digestive system will need to be retrained. Same goes for extended or extensive purging... it screws with your entire system, and there will need to be plenty of time devoted to patience and healing. \n\nExtended periods of time with insufficient solid food intake causes your entire digestive system to slow down and lose efficiency. Amounts of digestive chemicals in production may drop, and the tiny fingerlike cilia that absorb foods in your small intestine may become paralyzed or die off. The peristaltic muscles that move food through your system may weaken or atrophy. Large meals or a lot of food at once may confuse your stomach and intestines to the point where they cramp up and have trouble remembering what to do at all. All this will need to be repaired slowly, given time to reaccustom itself to the concept of processing and utilizing food again. \n\nStart with liquids. Rehydration is extremely important, since without food our overall water content drops significantly, and the digestive process requires a great deal of water. In the first few days of refeeding you may notice a sudden gain of several pounds... this is most likely, if you're doing everything right, your water balance trying to straighten itself out. You may feel bloated for a while as this happens and it's extremely important that you allow it to take care of itself and do not try to correct it with diuretics; limiting caffeine, which acts as a diuretic, may be a good idea here. Potassium can also act as a mild diuretic but do not try to limit that, as it's an important electrolyte and part of rehydration is bringing your electrolytes back up to a good strong level. You may benefit more from drinking water and juice between meals, instead of with meals, as liquids during meals can make your stomach feel fuller and may slow digestion a bit. C

I don't know about the average weight, but the BMI (as a user mentioned earlier) is a good indication of whether you're in a healthy weight. Oh, and by the way, if you're in the States, I wouldn't care so much about the average weight, because that's somewhat skewed, as 50-60% of Americans are overweight. So the average weight isn't necessarily the healthy weight.\n\nWill you grow anymore? That's unlikely, as girls grow only until 15-16. As for your weight, that's absolutely normal.

I don't know how tall you are, what your bone structure is like, how much muscle you have, etc.  I can't tell you if you're overweight.  If your doctor told you to lose weight, you should, but otherwise don't worry about it.\n\nTry to eat healthy and get plenty of exercise, but don't worry what you weight.  It's not generally healthy for girls your age to try to lose weight unless your doctor says you need to.

First off, how tall are you? and also how old are you?  Into the 80's can be deadly depending how you answer those two answers.  As for losing weight, eat healthy, and less amounts of food.  Also, exercise a lot, that is extremely important.  Good luck, but don't get too skinny now.

... why are people seriously giving you tips on losing weight? even if it is through healthy means, you don't need tips on losing weight.\n\nand the fact that you were anorexic isn't even the main reason that i say that.. i say that because you are a perfect weight for your height and DO NOT need to lose weight!

Depends on your body...i don't think you gain weight, maybe bloated!
