Question: I am 13 years old, 5'1 and weigh 132 lbs!. is this okay!?
I do yoga and I try to eat healthy!. I want to become a vegetarian, not because I think I am fat, but because I have developed feelings for animals and I feel bad about eating them!. I find it cruel!. Any other good ideas!? Or should I just stay the same!. I've been told I'll get taller and slimmer over the years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:

You are not overweight!.Check your BMI (body mass index) here http://www!.weight-loss-surgery-or-weight!.!.!.

Your BMI is what doctors use to determine if you are underweight, normal weight, or overweight!.

Your BMI is about 24!.7 which is in the normal range!. Normal is anywhere from 18!.5 to 24!.9!. And if you are athletic, then you have more muscle mass!. And muscle weighs more than fat, so that may be why your BMI is higher than you want!.
