i would say ur perfectly normal, maybe a little skinny but a littel skinny never hurt anyone! i'm 15, almost 5'6 and 115 lbs. so if ur underweight i would be more so!!! lol
no really, if u want a chart try finding a bmi chart online that will tell you ur bmi for ur height and weight if ur 18.5 to 24.9 then ur at a healthy weight
No, but you're a little close...120 would be perfect for ya...110 is underweight
You have a perfect weight.
just eat healthy foods and don't worry about your weight, women would kill for your weight!
OMG DONT WORRY I AM LIKE 13 AND I WEIGH LIKE 73 POUNDS SO DONT SWEAT IT I SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO IS WORRYING ABOUT MY WEIGHT
yes you are a little underweight...it goes like this...
if you are 5 foot, you should weigh 100 lbs.
if you are 5'1, you should weigh 105 lbs.
if you are 5'2, you should weigh 110 lbs.
and it goes on and on...
if you havent figured out the pattern yet, ill explain it.
every inch after 5 foot, adds 5 lbs.
so ill continue if you still dont get it.
if your 5'3, you should weigh 115. get it? i hope so.
No worries your just perfect. Keep excersising and eat healthy and you'll be fine!
I'm 19 and I'm 5'3.
It wasn't until I was 17 that I reached 100lbs. right now I'm 5'3 and I weight 105 lbs. For your height and everything your perfect size.
Don't worry about what others think of you it only matters about how happy you are with your image, and you're healthy.
You are underweight. For teeage girls, at 5'0 the ideal weight is 100 pounds and for e very inch more than that you should be five more pounds. So if you're 5'5, you should be weighing 125, and so you're about 11 pounds underweight. Maybe to put on a little more weight you should add a little more fat to your diet. be careful when you do this though. you want to be the right kind of fat. try to avoid saturated and trans fat. Also, make sure if're youre not doing it right now that you have all your three vital meals every day: breakfast (very important), lunch, and dinner. if you don't eat you'll keep shedding those pounds, and in your case its probably not the best thing.
