Answers:

At 5'6" you are actually underweight. According to height/weight charts, at your height you should be at the lowest, 120-133. The link below has a chart that you can use to show your mom ifyou want.

Show your mom this chart. The normal weight for a female who is 5 ft 6 inches is 118 lbs to 148 lbs. You are underweight.

You are not over weight! Ok you are fine the way you are. Don't worry about how much you way. You are fine the way you are. 112 pounds for your age and height is fine.



Your not even close to overweight. Its actually a very healthy weight, and you have nothing to fear. When you get above 150, that's when things get a bit on the overweight side.



You are underweight. Your mom may have image problems herself. Or it's jealousy.



No, you are NOT overweight! you're underweight



No, you're not. At that height, you are just about the right weight.



What?!? Heck NO! Your not overweight at all...why would she think that? Seriously...
