I think you are talking about 72 Kg and not 72 lbs. This is about 159 lbs and you might be underweight. Where fat is stored is determined by genetics. So lose the fat and add muscle. Reduce carbs and fat, increase protein, keeping your total calorie intake almost the same. Do moderate cardio and more weight training in your workout

You are definitely under weight. The others gave better advise than I could give you so listen up and do what they say. I work out, and was an aerobic instructor a year or so ago but it is best to be a tiny bit under what you are suppose to be than over the limit. I believe you are a few extra pounds (UNDER) what your suppose to be so you might want to talk to a doctor and get on a diet that will help balance your weight out. Also an eating disorder popped up in my brain too. At your age and weight you do not need to be worrying about things like that; so I believe you need to see a doctor, and let him give you advise as to what to do. Your parents need to get involved too, so tell them what you told us.........Good Luck.

Eat Less, be more physically active. You have to permanently alter your lifestyle or the weight will return.

The first thing is to look at yourself as beautiful young lady, regardless of your weight. Next drink large amounts of water.  No junk food! Eat 6 small meals a day, if you must munch, munch on carrots or celery. Continue to exercise.  Alot of young people are doing through the same thing so don't feel alone.  The food in England is different and it may take time for you to adjust, plus your body is going thru hormone changes.  If you are a equestrian England is the prefect place to hone those skills and another excellent form of exercise.  I Also agree a trip to your physician is in order, his or her advice is much better than any of your mates will give you.  Enjoy this wonderful time in your life and believe that you are beautiful and you will be.

That height and weight doesn't sound like you have a weight problem, but it sounds like you lack lean mass (muscle). Start lifting some weights, get some cardiovascular activity, and start watching the food intake (for healthy changes you can make), and you can start to see an improvement. \n\nI'm assuming you're quite young, so just get active. That "softness" will melt away very quickly with a little activity.

Talk to your Dr. and a nutritionist for a specialized meal plan. In the mean time, eliminate fast food, fried food, sweets and candies and instead eat fruits, vegetables, fish and lean meat like turkey. That and some normal exercise like walking, will definitely help shed those pounds. \n\nBest wishes on your endeavors!\n\nDo NOT rush into heavy cardio before talking to your Dr. \nNo offense but at your weight you should have a proper check up first.

maybe you can add 1 or 2 kgs more. but your weight is already normal for your height.

Probably a little bit. Don't worry about your weight too much, though. Society focuses too much on crap like that. Just eat healthy foods, and make sure you get plenty of physical activity.

Hi.  I've been battling with my weight since I was your age, I'm 21 now.  The biggest piece of advice I could offer you is to get moving.  Find some way to exercise everyday.  If you have a dog take it for a walk.  Or if you have younger siblings take them to the park and play with them.  There are so many things you can do to get moving.  And exercise is essential to weight loss.  For instance, take the stairs instead of the elevator or walk to school.  Whatever you do, though, don't do anything drastic.  Starving yourself or making yourself sick is not the way to go about getting rid of the weight.  Another thing, get support.  Talk to your parents, friends and teachers and let them know that you want to lose weight.  Get them to encourage you and help you as much as possible!\nYou can lose those pesky pounds! Good luck!

Goodness!!!  NO!!  I'm 36, I used to weigh 140 (down to 132) and even though I wasn't comfortable (weighing 110 all my life), I hardly felt I was fat!  And plus, you have an inch in height on me!\n\nSweety, you are ONLY 13.  A lot of girls seem to put on a little weight around that age, and then blossom when they get to be about 15-16.  \n\nIf you are uncomfortable, speak to your doctor about losing weight, but do not try to deal with it by yourself!  Take up some gymnastics or dance.  It will make you feel better.

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.)

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.

No, that is a VERY good weight for you height. If you lose any more, you will be underweight. Just keep eating healthy and excersizing, and you'll be fine!
