how light for age 13, can you be without being "anerexic"?

Assuming height is average, I would say 80 is about as close as you can get without people turning heads constantly if you're a female, and like 90 for a guy.

I thinnk going down like to about 10 to 20 pounds be all right too. I know a girl who is your height and she's 105 lb. Her doctor said she's doing fine. Not underweight at all. BTW, I kinda agree with Pun. She's right.

LISTEN honey.  There are no such thing, there are different body masses and bone structures.  Maybe I am coming in from a whole nother culture, but in the islands, when you are more than regular, you are 'healthy' or 'wealthy', fer real.  Thats one.  Two, at twelve, that should be the last thing on your mind, no joke.  It will rob you of your personality.  Please don't try too hard to fit in, REAL people will accept you for who you are.  I don't detect a bad eating habit, as I think that you would mention it.  But just try to eat the things that parents want you to eat.  Trust me, I am a parent.

Anything's possible, but it doesn't make it a good idea. There are many side effects associated with the procedure. Also, a 13 year old has plenty of time to change their habits and correct their obesity naturally. Surgery should be a last resort in all cases, regardless of age.

You're probably pretty solid...I'm 5'6 and 135 is the minimum I can weigh without starting to look too thin...my preferred range is 135 - 145.\n\nI would imagine you look pretty good...keep up the good work, but allow yourself some time for fun too! To maintain your weight, unless your eating habits are very poor, you should be able to do 1 hr a day 4 or 5 days a week...

Compared to other girls your age and height, you weigh less than two out of three.  You are still growing, so you need to be careful not to lose weight.  Do you want to have a 13-year old body the rest of your life?\n\nYou need to focus on being active.  If you don't exercise a lot, then you don't have much muscle.  That means that any extra weight is fat.  Even skinny girls like you might have a soft tummy or extra flab on their legs or hips.\n\nInstead of your goal being to lose pounds, it should be to exercise 5 days a week.  Even just walking, riding a bike, jogging, or swimming for 30 minutes a day should be enough for you to tone your muscles.  Increased muscles also help burn calories 24/7, so you can pig out on ice cream and pizza once in a while without worrying about getting a pot belly.\n\nYou won't lose weight, but you'll have a more toned and more healthy body.  I'm guessing that is your goal, not just to be so skinny that you don't look good anymore.

When I was 13, I was also 5'2. (I'm 21 and still waitin' on that last growth spurt lol)   I weighed 105 pounds (oh those were the days) and I remember the doctor telling me that it was a very healthy weight.  I was also right in the middle, many girls were the same size as me. I'm a middle school health teacher, and most of my girls currently are in the 100 range, + - 10 lbs.\n\nSo the average weight is probably 90-110.  That is just the average, not what it should be.  Many girls are bigger and smaller and are beautiful. :)

It is impossible to predict what the average weight of a 13-year-old should be. It is much easier for adults as there are standards by which doctors and professionals follow. However, these standards are not applicable to growing teens. At age twelve, whether you are a boy or a girl, you are most likely entering puberty. For the next few years your body will begin to drastically grow and change. Each individual will begin this process at different times, girls usually earlier than boys.\n\nAt 12 girls bodies have begun puberty whether it is noticeable or not, and will soon begin to grow in size, which is normally accompanied by weight gain. Boys on the other hand will not enter puberty until 13 or 14 and will just be beginning to grow tall and not fill out until their later teens. So as you can see it is hard to predict an average weight for a 13 year old, just look around at your classmates, some are tall or small and petite, while other have begun to develop and those who still have a few years to go. All of these are perfectly normal, just as many different weights are as well. Weight is only a number that does not consider height or body mass, so try not to get too caught up in it. At this point in your life it is important to keep healthy, eating right and exercising will make sure that your body weight is healthiest for you!

It depends if your are tall, probally other 13 year olds weigh more or less than you so there is no normal weight

I used to be anorexic, Im miss it to, but my parents put me in a rehab for 6 months. That sucked. Everyone says I look heathier now and that im still thin. I think we convince ourselves that thin is never thin enough and that we are fat. Its all about convincing your mind. I miss it but will never go back. I was sick, and still fight it. Stay strong!

Yes, do you see any signs of anorexia? I have a friend that is very skinny but she has a VERY HIGH metabolism. Do you notice any loss in appiette? How about hair loss? Does she ever talk about how"fat" she looks? If so I would talk to her mom or convince her to see a doctor!

Anorexia is a very serious eating disorder. Losing 6 lbs in 2 days alone doesn't necessarily mean you're anorexic, but you may be if you have other symptoms listed below.  The limit for anorexia is usually put at a BMI of less than 17 in combination with other symptoms.\n\nCheck your BMI here:http://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmi.html \n\nOther symptoms include:\n- Avoidance of eating \n- Denies feeling hungry \n- Avoids social gatherings where food is involved \n- Develops food rituals that allow for eating very little: eats in secrecy, eats foods in a certain order, excessive chewing, rearranges food on the plate, eats unnaturally small amounts of food \n- Dramatic weight loss \n- Refuses to maintain the minimal normal body weight for age and height \n- Denies the serious consequences of low body weight \n- Obsession with dieting and weight loss \n- Weighs self several times a day and focuses on the smallest fluctuation in weight \n- Terrified of gaining weight or being fat \n- Even when thin, sees self as overweight \n- Bases self-worth on body weight and body image \n- Excessive focus on an exercise regimen \n\nPlease do not let be afraid to reach out and ask for help, even if you feel your condition is not anorexia.  You may still have another eating disorder that you may not be aware of.\n\nANRED is a very good website with a lot of resources.  I highly recommend it.  \nhttp://www.anred.com/toc.html \n\nGood luck, and don't be afraid to reach out.  It could be the wisest decision you ever make.

I guess it depends on your height.  (I'm a guy)- at 12, I weighed between 85 and 105, and I was one of the shortest kids in the grade (hit my growth spurt).  If you feel you're fat, don't worry about it too much.  Dieting this early is a bit unhealthy.  Just try and exercise to prevent from gaining more weight- if you lose some, that's even better.
