Answers:
if your healthy and happy about your size then that's all that matters!. cause that should like me!. I'm 17,5!.7 and 160 and my Dr said I'm healthy and when i was your age i was 210!. now that's overweightWww@Answer-Health@Com
If you were 100 pounds, you would be close to dying and I doubt that you want that!. The middle of the BMI (body mass index) for the healthy catagory is 21!.7
For someone 5'9 to be in the middle of the healthy would be to weigh 146-147 pounds!. Right now you are at 23!.6, and that is considered healthy!. The lowest you should be at your height would be 125!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

At 5'9 your weight is fine if your built with "bigger" bones!. If you have bigger bone structure and you get too thin then you're gonna look really wierd!. My friend is 5'9 but well over weight, but she's built like a football player so if she did lose alot of weight then she would not look right!. If you have smaller structure, then I don't think it would hurt to go down to 140 (just not any less)!. You can't always depend on articles and stuff that sayas that your wieght should automatically be something at a certain height cause not every one has the same bone structures!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
160lbs may be great for you!. Muscle weighs more than fat so if you are in good shape that would explain the weight!. Never go by the bmi calculator!. If you are out of shape and are uncomfortable with your weight you should talk to your doctor about a diet, nutrition, and exercise program thats would be best for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You have to be careful!. If you use BMI, you will not get an accurate number as it is not intended for anyone under 18 and it does not take into account muscle mass!.
Try to aim for body fat percentage instead!. We all weigh different, we all carry that weight differently so nobody can tell you how heavy you should be, it is up to you!.
If you are female and want to lose fat, aim for 14% (get a pair of skin fold calipers and measure your bodyfat, this will give you an idea of how much work you should do)!. If you are a guy, go for 10%!.
140 is probably perfect for you!. Eat healthy, stop snacking after 8:00 on junk and get out there and exercise!.
We all need at least 1200 calories just to live, aim for 1800 and see how that works over the next three months!. 5-6 small meals a day at 300 calories each!.

Man that is insane to be only 120 you are fine it also depends on how much muscle you carry if your muscular 160 is even perfect!. I am 5'9' and i am 23 I weigh 185 but i am really muscular and i am perfectly healthy all those BMI don't account for a lot of muscle mass!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I dont think a 14 year old with your measurments should worry much!. Eat as healthy as you can and get some regular exercise, but try not to stress too much!. Avoid sodas and dont ever start smoking!. these are early lessons to learn that will make for a long and happy life style!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
omg!.!.!.no way should you be 100 lbs!.!.whoever told you that is seriously messed up!.!.!.i think you're probably actually at a really healthy weight, and 140 would definitely not be "too fat"!.!.!.it depends on how you feel about yourself, and if you don't love yourself you really won't be comfortable at any weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The guide for women/girls with average build is 100 pounds at 5 feet even and 5 pounds for every inch over that, so you should be 145!. If you are big-boned, you add 10%, so at most you should be 159!.5!. You're fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
at 14 you shouldn't weight 100, im 14 and six feet tall and wieght 140 pounds and i dont have any meat on me!. you need to be a bit more descriptive about yourself because muscle is much denser than fat so you could be fairly fit and still weight 160 poundsWww@Answer-Health@Com
OMG OF COURSE YOU SHOULDNT BE 100 POUNDS ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A GUY WHOEVER SAID THAT IS OBVIOUSLY ANOREXIC!! 160 isnt fat for a 5'9" male BUT only if a lot of that weight is muscle, if most of it is fat then you'll want to shoot for 140!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you have an average build, and average amount of muscle at 5'9 you should be NO LESS than 145 lbs!.
At 5 feet you should weigh 100 lbs, and after every inch add 5 pounds!. 9 inches x 5 lbs =35 + 100 = 145!. So, you should weight at LEAST 145!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

what alot of people dont get is there is different bone structures and also if you are muscular that adds weight also!. but even in my opinion 160 for someone as tall as you still sounds a little thin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
In my opinion, you can be whatever the hell you want to be!. But, your only 14, your still growing, and your almost 6 feet!. As long as your not extremely obese, it's all good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
