Is this normal?!

Answers:

well normal is really a subjective term and it's not for anyone to say who can't see you. sounds normal as far as what I picture a 14 year old to be but here's the clincher...weight is a false measurement and I say that because muscle weighs more than fat does so you want to look at your body composition. At the YMCA they can do an electronic body composition analysis that will measure how much of you is bone, muscle, fat, and water and it well tell you if you are normal or not. For me, I'm only 5'8" but 213 lbs of me is lean tissue (bone/muscle) so if you were to look at the height weight chart you would normally say wow you should weigh like 140 lbs. so don't follow the charts find out for real what your body composition is and then your trainer can help you to either lose fat or gain muscle or a mixture of the 2 (whatever is needed)....also don't forget, you are 14 and in the middle of puberty so your body is got some changes yet.
