if you look up your BMI then you'll see that being 5ft 3!.5" and having a mass of 7!.5 stone (105lbs) is in the healthy weight bracket!. your BMI is 19; anything 18 and under is underweight and anything 25 and over is over weight!. between 18 and 25 is healthy well done!!

I'm 5ft 4 and when I was 17 I was 7st 10 and tbh I looked awful, very underweight!.!.!.so at an inch shorter and a few lbs lighter I would say you probably are a little bit underweight, but I wouldn't worry too much about it, so long as you are eating healthily and having fairly regular periods etc!., it probably isn't anything to worry too much about!.!.!.although I did have a bit of mild anaemia so its worth making sure you have enough iron in your diet!.

A friend of mine struggled through high school to put weight on, she even had diets from docs to gain weight but nothing worked, but now she is a bit older she has gained a little bit of weight and is a size 10 and healthy!.

I am a lot heavier now and wish I was more like what I was then!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know what 7 and half stones is but im 17 and weigh 80 pounds and im 5'3 too!. I have a fast metabolism and thinness runs in my family you might be the same!. If your doctor says your healthy then there is no need to worry about your weightWww@Answer-Health@Com
