Question:

I am 14 years old and I am 5 foot six 153 pounds. How much more weight should I lose?


Answers:

Body mass index is used to determine an apporximation for the healthiest weight for your body. For more information on BMI, you can google it and many sites will come up. Right now, you have a BMI of 24.7, which is on the high end of normal, as a BMI of 25 and above is considered overweight. Considering you want to be at the healthiest BMI (21.7), which is the middle of the normal range (18.5-24.9), you will need to lose about another 18 pounds, which would bring you to a weight of 135 pounds. However, you did nto mention what build you had, which could affect your results.
