ok i am a girl 5'7 weight about 165 pounds and my bmi is 26 like i am not fat but i am not skinny and when i went to the doctors like two weeks ago they didnt say anything so i am still asking it is bad to have a bmi of 26 at 13????

Answers:

Your BMI is actually 25.8 and it's .8 over the normal range for a BMI. I am sure you could use a loss of 2-5lbs to be the normal range but just stay active, eat healthy, and drink plenty of water. You're not a fat pig if that's what you were looking to get out. My BMI is 32 and I am not that horrible looking or that unhealthy. I just have never done well with keeping weight off. (Yet I can still run 2 miles easily.)



You are right around the good area. Only a little off, but it could just be your body shape don't worry about it. <3

Hope this helps!
