Question

am i fat ??i am 12 years old by the way.well if you do think i am not fat,but in real life i look a bit chubby :(

Answer 1

You're actually about 2 pounds underweight.

Answer 2

there is no way in hell you look a little chubby only being 88 lbs.
you are so far from fat its not funny..
my 9 year old is about 5'3 and weighs 135 lbs.... dont get me wrong she is very beautiful but she is what most would call chubby ...
besides that you are 12 years old quit worrying about dieting and go to the freakin mall or something

Answer 3

Ideal body weight for a female 4'10" is 95 pounds, so don't try to lose weight. At twelve you have another growth spurt coming and your weight won't change much, so you'll look in proportion.

Answer 4

You are not fat and you are still growing. Come back in three years and tell us of the changes

Answer 5

Yes. You should start dieting now so you don't get any fatter. If you keep letting yourself go nobody will want to be your friend. You should get serious about your weight and start losing it before it gets out of hand.

Answer 6

You are not fat, be comfortable with your body and learn to love it, because confidence is the most important thing =]

Answer 7

Actually, I think you're underweight. But it could just be that you're a late bloomer. Nothing to worry about.

Answer 8

not fat ... but kinda short for ur age. if thats ur stature, then 88lbs is normal weight
