right weight for your height


Question Posted Thursday August 10 2006, 9:52 am

my sister is 2 grades ahead of me and almost 3 inches taller, and we weigh the same. should i be losing weight? every inch in your height is supposed to be 5 pounds, so that means i should lose 15 pounds to be a healthy weight, right? i'm so confused. help would be much appreciated, thanks.

go to www.am-i-fat.com and it has all different kinds of weight tables based on height and build. and just so you know, my sister and i weigh the same and she's 1 inch taller and 8 years older. so it's not weird or anything.

Oh thats kinda like me and my sister. It's because she was around the same weight as me but once she hit about 17 she lost A LOT of weight. Don't worry I'm sure you'll do the same. Don't worry!! Don't lose weight if you don't need to. If you want to feel better you could work out, but don't kill yourself.

there is a BMI calculater just enter in your weight and height. It will tell you if you are alright. And you shouldn't compare yourself to others. Everybody has a differnt body type and since she is older you guys have different needs, you will probably slim out in two years and be similar to her.

i hope i helped =]

Unless you are overweight, you don't need to lose any weight. I know a lot of sisters that are like that. Sometimes because the other person is older, their body's are more mature so they lost any baby fat they had or just because your bodies are different so don't worry about it. <3

I don't think you should.. my sister is 3 grades younger than me about 2-3 inches taller than me and only weights about 5 pounds max more than me.. we are both told we are pretty skinny girls its just i am build different than her and thats why we aren proportionate


unless you see your sister as overweight i wouldn't worry about anything
