i am about 5`2" and wiegh about 107lb am i underweight? And should i gain some?

Answer 1

If you are under weight it is by maybe a pound but I wouldn't worry terribly about it.

Your weight however does depend on your body type and your frame.

If you have a small frame your weight should be between 108 - 121, a Medium frame 118-132, a large frame 128-143. You pick what your frame is and that should tell you a bit more accurately what your weight should be.

Goodluck!

Answer 2

I am 5' 2 1/2 and I always come out 107.5 on a scale. Honestly, I'm happy with my weight, and have NEVER felt under weight even though to others I seem super petite. Do what you're comfortable with. Just as long as you're eating healthy, excercise or just stay active, and that's your normal healthy weight you maintain naturally without trying or working out (I don't work out either, and I work at a gym! haha), then you are absolutely normal. I work with a bunch of personal trainers, and that's what they told me. Oh yeah, I'm 21 years old and have been this way since I was a Freshman in High School if not tinier!

Answer 3

I am also 5 '2" and the average weight for that height is around 115-120.Its really up to you, are you happy with you weight? If you are then don't gain any. If you do want to gain, eat a peanut butter sandwich every night before you go to bed.

Answer 4

According to various weight charts, you're just about right for some that is 5'2" tall. However, I've know girls that were around 5'4" or 5'5" and weighed less than you, and they didn't look too thin at all.

It really depends on your bone structure and the amount of muscle mass on your frame.

Here's a couple of height/weight charts to look at:

As long as you don't start looking like Calista Flockhart circa 2001-2002, you should be alright.

Answer 5

Hello,
It really depends on your frame size, I am assuming that you are female. The ideal weight for someone of your height is this.

Small frame: 108-121
Medium frame: 118-132
Large frame: 128-143

So, it probably wouldn't hurt to put on a couple pounds but if your are of a small frame structure than 107 is a healthy weight.

Hope this helps,
Sunshine

Answer 6

I think it would depend on your frame. If you have a slight frame then 107 is fine. If you have a medium or large from then you might want to put on a few pounds.

Also you might want to add about 3 or 4 pounds incase you get sick and drop pounds.

But I think you are fine

Answer 7

The standard chart that is used to determine ideal weight for medium to petite framed women says that at 5'2 you should be 115. So youre OK.

Answer 8

no, your just about where you need to be. If you feel you should be SLIGHTLY heavier, lift some weights or work out to build muscle. Muscle naturally weighs more than fat. For your height, you are fine. In fact, your pretty much where a lot of girls wish to be.

Answer 9

That's about the perfect size for me. Don't go losing any weight but don't gain any either. Just like the three bears, you're just right!

Answer 10

Never worry about weight until you get old and turn into a pig boat, unless you really are already a pig boat now I always say.
