Siren_Cytherea answered Monday June 28 2004, 3:53 am: Not in the least. You're perfectly normal. When I was 14, I was 5'2" and I weighed 102. I checked my BMI and found that I was at the bottom of normal weight for that height. I think. So you're perfectly normal.
Muscle does weigh more than fat, so that's probably where your poundage comes from. You are not fat, and you don't have to worry about becoming fat.
With all the excercise you do, being a gymnast and a softball player, you probably have a fairly high metabolism, preventing you from gaining a whole lot of weight.
So you're fine.

lynx_wings answered Monday June 28 2004, 1:26 am: No, you are not. According to the American BMI counter your BMI is 20.7, which is actually slightly to the skinny side of normal. And if you're a gymnast (like me!) with sofball on top of that it throws the scale off completely because of the muscles. [ lynx_wings's advice column | Ask lynx_wings A Question ]
taryn answered Monday June 28 2004, 12:23 am: you are not fat. believe me, if your 5' and you weigh 106 lbs, your normal.its normal to have problems with your body, its part of life. but if you wanna stay that size, don't over do it with fast food and junk. you can still eat it, but don't eat this stuff for every meal you have.

LykViolencUhavMe answered Sunday June 27 2004, 10:41 pm: no your not especially if most of it is muscle which it sounds like it is. playing sports and exercizing regularly will make you gain weight sometimes because of the added on muscle. but its not a bad thing it means your healthy.
