You are just fine. Do a little weight lifting to get your muscles toned. I think you will be happy with your appearance then. It can give you confidence too. This can be helpful for someone your age. It is normal to feel self conscious at 13.

no, according to the height and weight chart, you have a small build. Also according to the BMI calculator, you are in opyimal condition. congrats

I think you're an excellent weight. You can go to google and look up your BMI and that will tell you a healthy weight range to be in.\nA good rule of thumb for girls... 100 lbs. for 5 feet and 5 lbs. for every inch over. So... for you, that would be 135, and you're right there!

It doesn't sound like you are fat to me.  It sounds like you are quite healthy despite the fact that you don't like your body type or shape.  If you want to know what your % body fat is, you should have a skin fold test done.  It is a reasonably accurate assesment of body fat.  I'd would guess based on your meassurements, that you think your legs are too big.  If you are active and play soccer, your legs and hips are probably just muscular, which gives them their shape.  Your BMI ( which is a flawed assesment of health) is 20.8, which is very healthy, and quite far from being overweight.  You may not like your body shape, and you might not have a "perfect" body by American standards, but you are not fat.

I gotta tell you...  I see a lot of this "I'm [however many] years old and I weigh [however many] pounds," and it drives me crazy.  The absolute first thing you need to consider is your height and build, NOT your age.  I weighed 150 pounds at age TEN.  I also haven't grown since I was 11, so some of us are ALLOWED to be BIG.\nAt 13, you're old enough to run off and do a few things on your own, so over the summer, take your bike out for nice long rides and spend time at the pool.  You could also go hang out at the YMCA, like we used to, and play racquetball a couple times a week.  Get with a buddy and start walking and/or jogging in the evenings.  If you stay physically active during the summer, you may put yourself in a spot to join a team of some sort when school starts.  Track is a good one, as it keeps the muscles toned.\nDon't worry if you start eating a lot when you work out more.  It's just your metabolism doing its thing.  As you increase your muscle mass, your body will burn more calories, so you may have to pig out to compensate.  Just don't overdo the excessively greasy, chocolatey, or cheesy foods, go for diet sodas or WATER (flavored if you want), and be sure to grub on some fruit & veggies once in a while.\n\nOh, and if you ARE overweight and you KNOW it, just start with the biking & healthy eating.  You're young enough to fix it, and it won't take forever.

No, you are in the healthy weight range.  Don't be hung up on weight, just enjoy life and be happy!

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.

it doesn't really matter what you eat, do you have high matabolism.  if you really want to know if you are in good healthy weight, get your body fat measured.  if you are over 22%, then you are fat.   you should be around 12% or around there.

some people are just thin.....you should ask your doctor if you are at a healthy weight....he/she can probably tell more by looking at you than someone could over the computer......your frame size and fat percentage are big factors

Based upon averages, you are probably overweight, but not obese.  On the other hand, if you have muscle mass, that 215 may be perfect.\n\nWeight is not the most important statistic.  Body mass / fat content is.\n\nYour eyeballs should be able to tell you everything you need to know.

I calculated your BMI (body mass index), and those figures put you at 13.7 . Below 18.5 is underweight, so I would say that you are severely underweight. Thus the answer to your question would be "No."

the only time it's meaningful to analyze your weight by considering your height is if there is a possibility that you are grossly underweight or grossly overweight - you're obviously neither.\n\nyour main question - "am i fat" - really breaks down to three different questions:\n1) do I look fat (to myself or others)\n2) am I "fat" in comparison to other people\n3) am I "fit"\n\nthe answers to your main question vary accordingly:\n1) you say you like your breasts and your butt - that's a great thing right there, to like your body and accept it. there are as many opinions on what looks "fat" to other people and you'll never be happy if you worry about what anyone else thinks as long as you think you look good.\n\n2) there is no "average" human being - there are only statistics about the range of possibilities for human bodies. your weight, your age, your build (small boned or stocky, etc.), your gender, and other factors all contribute to how your body looks and feels.\n\n3) this is the ultimate question, really. if you exercise every day (about 30 minutes of aerobic exercise), lift weights a few times a week for an hour at a time (to have muscles that make your body look good and which burn more fat and calories), and eat well (cut out all junk food, fast food, and anything like it, eat a good balance of protein, carbs, and good fats, like almonds), you will be fit, you will have less fat on your body, and you will look and feel good.

You might specifically ask your doctor if your weight is ok.  If he/she says its fine, there probably isn't anything to worry about.  If your frame is small enough, I guess its possible that your weight is just fine.

No, you are not fat.\nReally, those are average sizes...maybe even on the small side.\nLove yourself, girl!

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.

You are not at all over-weight. Get ur BMI(Body to Mass Index) checked. If its 24 or less, I think you are just doin fine. You really dont want to be called skinny, do you?
