Am I underweight? PLEASE ANSWER!!!?!


Question: Am I underweight? PLEASE ANSWER!!!?
I'm turning 13 in May, I'm 5'2, and I weigh 91 pounds. I'm really active and play basketball, travel soccer, and track. Also, I do cross-country and I might do lacrosse and softball in the spring. I had anorexia in fourth grade, and I was helped, but I still feel like I'm fat! My mom says I'm too skinny. I usually weigh 83 pounds, but since I'm only active in one sport during the winter, basketball, I gained weight, but I'll probably lose it in the spring, when sports start. Just, tell me if I'm underweight, chubby, or normal. Thanks!

Really? lol, you aren't chubby in the slightest. If you gained 20 pounds, you would still be considered a healthy weight. But you're technically not underweight because of your age - if you're under 18, you can have a BMI of less than 18.5 & still be considered a healthy weight. You're definitely on the thin side, though.



At 5'2'' and 91 lbs, you are probably either a little underweight or close to where you should be depending on build. The body mass index of height/weight is a load of crap anyway. You probably shouldn't worry so much about it if you eat right and live an active lifestyle.



Probably not a good idea for you to be asking people on the internet about such a sensitive issue. About 110 lb is a good weight for a girl your height. Talk to your parents about seeing a doctor if you aren't sure what your weight should be.



for your age and height you should be 105lbs however, a healthy weight is different for everyone depending on their bone mass and fat and muscle percentages
