No because you have to remember that you have your bones, blood, water, muscles, cartalidge, organs, your skin, and the water in your body. Your head alone weighs 16 lbs!
So no 156lbs. is not too much. Its perfectly healthy.

just calculated that your body mass index is 27.6... this is overweight, but doesn't become obese until your BMI reaches thirty. the healthy BMI range is 18.5-24.9. hope this helps.

Yes, unless you are muscular, 156 pounds is the average weight of a boy 17 years old who is 5 feet, 9 inches tall.

5'3 should weight a healthy 115-120

A 15 year old shouldn't be concerned about weighing 156 lbs. Teenagers have enough stuff to worry about! Lots of teens have baby fat and their bodies are changing. As long as she/he is getting regular exercise, or at least not filling their face with fast food, don't worry about it.

you can calculate your BMI or body mass index which tells your category of underweight, normal, over weight or obese. It takes your waste, height and weight to calculate at http://clocks.110mb.com/negativecalorief... you do not need to ask anyone.

OK. I am 4'11" and "they" say I should way 92 pounds. I weigh 110, and people tell me I'm too skinny. The BMI doesn't take certain things into consideration. I have a HUGE chest (34D) and according to the statistics, I am overweight. Go figure.
