Ok so I just turned 13 a few weeks ago and I now weigh134lbs. I am 5'4. I was wondering if I was overweight. Every time I tell my friends how much i weigh, they always say that I only look like I weigh 90. I believe them too cuz I don't look that fat. Please don't tell me that I shouldn't care how much I weigh and that I should just love myself for who I am cuz I want to know if I need to excersize more and eat less (p.s. I just lost 10lbs. In a few weeks) so am I now overeight still??
If you exercise more than say any of your girlfriends do you will weigh more than them, even if you look like you weigh less than you really do. The reason for this is muscles weigh more than plain body fat which we all have to one degree or another.
If you are a teenager that is into sports and exercises on a regular basis, don't worry so much about your weight. If you truly need to know what your proper weight should be for your height and body proportions; then see your family doctor. Let you doctor tell you if you need to lose or gain weight. Which ever your doctor tells you to do you do under the doctors supervision. You could also consult with a nutritionist or dietitian for proper diet and dieting, once you have consulted your doctor.

When I was 13, I had some weight on me and once I hit puberty I was a stick figure. Trust me, Give yourself some time to grow more. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
