Answer 1

sorry to say but you are.
when you are 5'0 you should weigh 100 lbs.
add 5 lbs per inch.
so you should weigh 120
so yea your 40 lbs underweight.
that isn't good.
good luck.
e-mail if you need help.

Answer 2

The rule of thumb is for women the first 5 feet is 100 pounds each inch there after is 5 pounds.
So a 5'4 woman could weigh 120.
Of course there are many different variables. If your Mom is tiny for instance then you might have inherited that same frame. Also your 13 so you are still growing/developing. I think I would have a good check-up with my family doctor and let he or she make the decision.
Good Luck.

Answer 3

Yes, you're very underweight. At your height you should be between 105 -110 lbs. I'm 5'3 and am 105lbs. I'm still being told till this day that I'm way too skinny and that i should eat more. If your the type of person who consume a lot of foods and doesn't gain weight easily, don't worry too much. If you're dieting to lose weight then please stop. Dieting is not the way to do it. Exercising and healthy eating is the way to go at it. You're still too young and your body will soon develop. But do see a doctor. Good Luck!!

Answer 4

You are very underweight. I am the same height and when I was young I weighed about 105 and people told me all the time I was too thin. You are minus 25 pounds from that. Women need to have some curves to look pretty and to be healthy. Please see somebody who can help you gain some weight and so you can stop obessing over being thin.

Answer 5

Check the height/weight chart here: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm

For your height with a small frame your minimum weight would be 114.

It's far better to weigh the proper weight for the height so that the body looks properly proportioned. Too thin and the arms, legs, neck and face start to look long, gangly and/or boney. The ribs start protruding and the hip bones stick out.

Stick thin is no longer in

Answer 6

Well let's see...I am 5'4" as well and when I weighed 115 lbs. was told I looked anorexic, so I would say Yes you are underweight and don't let society fool you...exteme thiness is not a pretty site. Being slender is nice, but it is not pretty looking at a body that looks like a skeleton with a layer of skin on top. I would seriously consider putting on at least 20 lbs. especially for health's sake.

Answer 7

Yes, honestly, you are very underweight. The best weight for you to be at for your height is something over 100 and under 120. Don't skip meals.

Answer 8

Yes anything under 110lb is underweight. However if that is just because you have a very small frame and are naturally thin, try not to worry as you are only 13 and will soon develop, but if you are thin because you are dieting or not eating properly, please stop now!

Answer 9

Yes possibly, but you are still very young and you probably have developed in height very quickly which may lead you to look skinny. You have plenty of time to fill out and remember that red meat is the best choice of protein for humans and eat plenty and you will not have any health drama's.

Answer 10

Yes, you are. The normal weight for someone your height is 120-140 pounds. I used to be underweight and my doctor told me to drink those protein shakes.(Example:Ensure) They work really good, you can find them at any local store...just as a clerk and they'll tell you where they are. :)

Answer 11

YES!!!! thats not healthy. i'd deffinatly eat alot more or....or....i don't even know what to say. on the other hand i know a girl who is in 10th grade and she is 5'4" actually i think and she only weighs about 103. she looks good!but i don't know about 80lbs. i don't know. i'd have to see a pic before i can tell you if you look healthy or not.
