So what I'm 14 and I'm 180lbs and  5'5. I love the way i look because i don't look overweight at all and the doctors say I'm very healthy because i exercise and play sports. Yes i do think your overweight but the important thing to do is just exercise and try to eat right, and even join a sport if you can, if you start now you can lose weight in no time. I suggest you get this book call Joan Pagano Strength training for women. It has over 60 different exercises to do and it tells you all the weights you need and some exercises you don't even need equipment, just household items. It even tells you how long it will be before you start to see results. Remember that to lose weight it won't happen over night, it takes time, just be patient. Good Luck

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.

You know, losing weight is difficult.  There are a lot of answers such as don't eat so much and exercise more.  Those are valid ways to lose weight.  The question is why are you over weight.  What I mean is, are you addicted to food?  Do you eat when you are upset?  Do you watch a lot of TV?  \n\nI suggest getting into an organized sport.  This way, you're a little more locked in to exercising.  People are depending upon you.  Try volleyball, soccer, or even karate.  If you get in to karate, make sure you spar.  You wouldn't believe the amount of calories you'd burn.\n\nYou also should see a dietician.  I say that because you are only 13.  You don't want to deprive yourself of essential nutrients that will hinder your growth.\n\nGood luck with this journey.  It is a long and difficult one.

Sweetie, you need to gain some weight. I weighed 135 at you age and had to fight the guys off with  a bat....LOL  just kidding about the bat but I was up to my eyes with guys. No guy wants to hug a skeleton. Take you some 3x5 blank note cards and pretty colored makers and write in different colors: I AM BEAUTIFUL. AT 14, 135 IS A HEALTHY WEIGHT ! WHEN A GUY SAY'S I LOOK GOOD OR, I'M  HOT; HE MEANS IT ! I WILL NOT LET MY EYES, MY MIND, OR OTHERS TELL ME THINGS THAT ARE NOT  TRUE ! JESUS LOVES ME AND SO DOES 1 MAGIC MOM ! JESUS LOVES ME LIKE THERES NO OTHER GIRL IN THE WORLD !  Now tape on the wall where you can see them from your bed, stick them in your school books or note book, in the bathroom near or on the  mirror or on the mirror in your room. Sweetie, please ask your parents to get this for you as soon as possible.  TEEN STUDY BIBLE ISBN  0-310-928370 at The Christian Book Store it is $16.95. It is a soft cover book full of wonderful things for young people like you. I have one I recently got and I love it. Pssst....I am no longer a teen on the out side but I sure am one on the inside because of the love that is found inside the cover of this and the King James Version of the Bible. If you like E me at*** springmagic2002@yahoo.com *** I will do my best to help you if you'd like. I can tell you this; I know a young man who should weigh at least 175 but had lost to 145  because this girl he knows told him he was fat. He is nearly 6foot tall, and the weight he had lost was starting to cause him problems. He had to change chairs at his computer after the pillow he sat on didn't help his boney behind. It took a bit, of kind words when he lost his temper at me. And hugs when appropriate, along with a lot of encouragement. The more weight he gained the better he looked (not pale, thin, and sickly) but strong, musclar,color in his face. This was now how he should look when at a healthy weight; and when I went by to see his family and saw how well he looked; I pulled him to the side and said young man have you looked in the mirror lately? If you haven't then go look now, you are soooo handsome looking! I meant what I said too. And I believe he could tell by how I said it that I meant what I said. But if I had thought he looked handome then, the next thing he did made him moreso. He smiled....and his face looked like a lit up Christmas tree as he started blushing at the compliment I had gave him. He has kept his weight up where it should be and has told me he likes it better than when he was so thin that even lying in his bed had started to hurt him,not just sitting up. I would never have known about the lying down, he was the one who told me. And before I left that day he stopped me and gave me the biggest hug. This young man is not a teen but a young adult with the weight of the world on him. He's not just losing onee parent to illnes, but both. He is my friend just as I am his. And he knows I am an  e-mail or a phone call away if he needs a friend when things are hard to deal with.Just remember God made every thing beautiful in its own way.And I mean it when I say gain up to about  130 and see if you don't get compliments from others. What does your Dr say about your weight; what about your parents?                 I am rooting for you to gain weight and look and feel better. I hope others will do the same for you. *^*

Yes I think that you are, I believe a normal weight for your height is about 120-125. You should gain a little weight.

It really depends on your build and height. You're probably fine, hun.\nI weigh 125 and I'm 21. But I'm 5'6"\nYou are not large at all. You'd have to be under 5 feet to even be considered slightly overweight. Don't listen to the people on here telling you that you're too big.\nAge really has nothing to do with it.

i think it has more to do with height and body build than just age.\n\ntry using this BMI calculator that i put as a link, with gender, height, and age, and you can see your weight in comparison to other 15 year olds, a healthy weight range, etc.\n\nanywhere from 100-140 seems ok, according to what you wrote, but it could be flexible depending on your bone structure and lifestyle.

I am 15 years old and 5'3 and i weigh 115. You are underweight.  I just went to my doctor yesterday actually. They told me im right under where I should be. So Your weight should be between 115-125.

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!

My goodness!! At 126 lbs., and wearing a size 5 jeans, you are anything BUT overweight. Of course you aren't overweight, unless you are only 4' 8"!! Then you'd probably have a problem!! Sweetheart, be happy you 126 lbs. I haven't seen that weight since birth!! LOL

You can't follow BMI 100%, it doesn't account for body type.  It is a good general indicator though.\n\nYou are 13 and 135lbs and 5'.  Don't go too crazy, you are still growing.\n\nYou can't lose 5-10lbs a day, don't bother trying.  If you are serious about losing weight, do your research.\n\n1.  Don't replace 1 soda a day, replace all sodas everyday (if you drink a lot of soda, cutting it out can make a huge difference right away).  Drink about a gallon of water daily (it is also a mild appetite suppresant=help you eat less)\n2.  Exercise 30 min to 1hr 4-5x a week.  Cardio (running, elliptical machine, stair machine, bike, etc).  Join a sports team or sign up for some activity like karate.\n3.  Can't just eat Lean Cuisine's and Lean Pockets.  Changing a diet is basically a lifestyle change.  Eat things like grilled chicken, veggies, etc. Don't eat junk food, no fast food (if you eat a lot of fast food, cutting that out of your diet will make a huge difference immediately)\n4.  Depends on the person, but cutting out sodas and fast food can cut down your daily caloric intake big time also.\n\n\nUse the internet!  Do your research!!  Read health forums online! \n\nGood luck!

If you go by what medical experts and the government says, then no, for that height & weight, you probably are not. To be certain however, check for yourself on this site which checks your (BMI) Body-Mass-Index. This takes into account your age. I assume you're of teen age.

14 and a 100 pounds??? trust me, no one thinks you're fat. i think that unless you are very short you probably need to gain some weight. and some self esteem. eat whatever you want! dont live your life for other people or because you feel like they are staring at you. they probably aren't.
