Question: Is 125 lbs. normal, or considered "skinny" for a 14 year old girl?
Answers:

Hi :)
Im also 15 and i last September i weighed 145 pounds and lost 33 pounds and i now weigh 112.
To loose weight it is very simple. Don't listen to diets or plans or anything. Just be natural .
Ill give you my best tips :

-eat smaller and healthier portions throughout the day but more frequently (ex- eat 5 meals a day but make your meals half the size) this will speed up your metabolism and
-drink TUNS of water
-walk every day for 30 min, and also do a 30 min workout thats high impact on the body (dance, ect.)
-Pick 1 day on the weekend and 1 day in the week to take a break from your workouts
-Pick 1 day each week to indulge and not worry about your diet (make sure its only one day a week and it will not affect you at all)
-do not pick at food! Put what your gonna eat in your plate and don't eat anything else! especially when making the food.


Hope i helped:)



It depends on a lot of factors. For instance, if you look at your Body Mass Index, or BMI, you need your weight, age, and height to determine if you are in the normal range, underweight, or overweight (See link for BMI calculator). Regardless of what that says, 125 is perfectly fine for a 14 year old girl. And don't stress about the word "skinny". If it carries a negative connotation, then that word will bring down your self-confidence a ton by thinking about it. If you mean it in a positive way, then yes, most people would say you are skinny. But no matter what, the best thing you can do for yourself is learn to love who you are because you are unique and awesome in a way that nobody else is. Be proud of your weight, and if you want to change it then do so in healthy, positive ways.

That's exactly what I was at that age, and I was never considered chubby or fat, but I wasn't stick thin either, so it's a good balance :) So for your age and height, it's normal/skinny. Not too skinny though. Which is good, I'd say your pretty much perfect!



im taller and weigh less and i don't think i am skinny... i would say skinny is like 100 lbs



It depends on how tall you are.



No,,,u are normal girl...
