That means you are 19th in height compared to 100 kids your age and sex.
Your weight is 90th percentile
That means you are 90th in weight compared to 100 kids your age and sex.
Your Body Mass Index is 27.3, which is the 95th percentile
That means that your BMI is 95th compared to 100 kids your age and sex.
You are overweight according to health experts*. Two out of three children and teens with your BMI percentile have at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease while one out of five have two or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
The healthy weight range for your height and age is 84 to 124 pounds (38 to 56 kilograms). This range corresponds to a BMI between the 5th and 85th percentiles for your age and sex.
Note: If you are very muscular this calculator is not accurate.
i got this information from blubberbuster.com, which is the website i use for bmi (body mass index). if you go there and go to weight calculator, you can get graphs and stuff on your height/weight.
the kids who tease you sound really stupid... they obviously have nothing better to do with their lives. ignore them. :)
and start working to loosing some weight, you are still young and have your wholeeee life ahead of you, but its easier to start getting on the right track sooner rather than later.
remember, the MORE out of shape you are, the QUICKER you start seeing results.
