I don't mean anything by this, but just except that you're extremly underweight. Just try eating a bit more, but healthy.

You are underweighted but its not that serious. Usually people around your age would be 100-114 lbs.Maybe you should start eating food with more fat !! But not that much. Just saying !!


Hope I helped ♥ ♥ ♥

"You are emaciated. Consult your doctor or dietitian!", is what you would see if you went to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and clicked on "Am I Fat?". You would see that (according to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) your BMI (Body Mass Indicator, which is the percentage of your body that is made up of fat) reads 16%.


If you didn't know, "emaciated" means "wasting away". To answer your question directly, you are not overweight. You are underweight. The website is telling you to pack on some pounds, before you plummet too far down the hill.


For some tips of motivation and getting on track to a healthy weight gain, I'm suggesting the following websites to you:

It's a little underweight, but nothing too major or to be freaking out about. Just make sure that you're eating normal and everything should be fine. =)

Yes it is underweight, though its not deathly underweight...I would search under google "gaining weight healthy". Dont gain weight on your own (eating a lot of junk food) because thats not the healthy way to gain weight. But there is articles online that tell you how to eat healthy foods + gain the weight. I think you should gain 5-10 lbs and you'll be fine =)

esbeautiful1313 answered Monday January 9 2006, 9:20 pm:
according to your BMI that is extremely underweight. it's not healthy at all. to get your BMI (body mass index) go to this site:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

your BMI is 15.4 and normal weight is about 18.5 – 24.9

so 87 pounds is not only a little underweight, but VERY underweight & it may be dangerous. please talk to an adult & a doctor about this, you don't want to endanger your life! good luck!

TheLoveDoctor answered Monday January 9 2006, 9:19 pm:
wow you are actually really thin for being that height and age. normal for you would be at least, 98 i'm guessing.

LadyGoodman answered Monday January 9 2006, 9:18 pm:
Yeah, but don't worry about it because you'll probably gain more weight as you hit 14/15.
