Is 101lbs/46kg overweight for a 5ft2.5/158cm, 13 year old girl?!


Question: My mom says that I am getting fat...and that worries me a little because I don't want to be fat at such a young age.

But some people says that I don't need to worry about my weight right now because I'm still growing.

Which is true??
Please tell me if you think I'm overweight for my height and age.

Thanks,

Nope, if you were an adult and fully developed, that would be pretty skinny. Since you are a 13 year old, it sounds nice. Definitely not over weight. Be healthy and try not to take your mom seriously on this. Maybe since you are insecure about this, you took her comment more seriously than she meant it. (At least I hope that is the case)

no, you are not overweight. You are normal, a bit on the slim side. Your mom is very irresponsible for telling you that you are fat- you need to have some body fat for your body to function properly.

nope not at all

im 5'3 and im 17, i weigh 130-35
go to google and type in BMI test and then type in your info and itll tell you if youre underweight over weight or just right

Are you sure your mother isnt just teasing you? seems like it. 101 for a 13 year old girl is average if not light. You will honestly keep on growing and you will gain more weight and maybe lose some. But for now you're the perfect weight okay? cheer up!

100 lbs at 5'2 is not overweight regardless of age. Within the next few years you will fill out and everything will go to the right places. Relax and have fun you are fine :)

thats crazy
you are at a perfect weight for your age

Tell your mom to shove it... what kind of mother tells her daughter that???

Plus judging from the weight you're normal or skinny

Tell your mom stfu

wow.. you're mom is very very young. you are actually underweight. my doctor gave me a chart, and for 5'2" you should be between 128-143 pounds and for 5'3" you should be between 131-147 pounds.

i think you're safely within proper weight range for your age. tell your mom to **** off.

totally normal you should see me,I'm about 5"2 and i weigh about 138pounds and im skinny

No you are definitely not overweight. It may be possible that you think that because your body is not very toned or something.

nope its actually pretty perfect. im the same height as you and 15 years old. i weight about 107.

you are not fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are growing so it is normal to gain weight. you shouldn't dwell on your weight its not healthy!!! you are perfectly heathy i would even say your under weight.

a pic would help

Well then your mom is crazy

your not fat. your normal i guess, im 5.2 and im 134 and im sexy (:
and yeah your still growing

You are not fat at all. I am about as tall as you and I just turned 14 and I weigh more than that. You are probably skinny.
