sounds good to me...



BMI (body mass indicator) is system widely used for this calculation. It is the one the U.S. govt. uses.
BMI ranges from 18.5 to 25 for good weight range. Under 18.5 is underweight, and over 25 is overweight. Over 30 is obese. . You are about 20.7, a little on the low side by a few pounds, but very good.
. If you look it up online, look for bmi caculator for children.
When you get to adulthood, aim for 22 to 23. Most women are very happy at that number.



do an online bmi calculator if your 25 + your obese
under 18 then your too skinny.
but i do not think you are fine, you are 16, so you should be a lil skinny.
but 5ft2 and 51kg.....my bf is 5ft2 and 56kg and he is healthy weight
id recommend a kilo or two in weight gain.
