Answer 1

First off tell your mom to back off of you. And I have allot of friends that are your size and weight but don't look fat to me, they look really good, and boys are always running after them. But here's something that you could double check to see if your over weight or not. Go to a doctor and have a check-up, they will measure and weigh you and will show you a chart if you ask them, to see if your overweight or not. That's what I did. And if your a dancer you have allot of muscles then, did you know that muscles weigh more then fat, so you could be gaining muscles and the scale will go up , but you are not fat! Well hope that this helps. Good luck!

If your 5'8'' tall and weigh 143 you are not fat. Your Mom needs to get off your back. Is there something wrong with her? Does she not care how you feel? My sugestion to you would be to make up a meal plan for yourself and an exercise plan and stick to it on a daily routine. Pick a time that is good for you to exercise , usually when you first get up in the morning. Make sure to drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruits and veggies. Stay away from breads and fatty deep fried foods. Good Luck

Answer 3

first, tell mom that she does not help you by calling you names. if she thinks you need help, you should go to a doctor and get on a diet. Everyone can lose weight, it just takes the right education about food and exercise.
Plus, you have a BMI of 22, which is normal. So you are not fat, just on the larger side of average.

Answer 4

Guuuuuurl, 143 is NOT fat for being 5'8!
It'z NOT skinny, but it definitely ain't FAT!!!

Tell your ma to kiss off!! (hee,hee)

Seriously, IF you still wanna lose thoze few LITTLE poundz, do a 'natural' colon cleanse, eat fresh fruitz & veggiez AND work out...
You will DEFINITELY see resultz, without harming your body!!

Also, seek counceling about your insecuritiez and stay AWAY from negative people!! They are insecure with issuez, too and they CAN'T help you acheive your goalz in ANY way!!

I hope I helped a little...
God Bless.

For your height you are not too far off the average weight. You should care about how you look but only to make yourself happy, not others. You need to explain to her that you are working on making yourself happy on the outside and inside and that her negative remarks will only hinder you from your goal. Try to be very busy with activities this will not only help you to burn calories but it will keep your mind of negative things in your life. And always eat right with moderation. Good Luck, I wish you the best.

Answer 6

Your not fat. you weigh 143 pounds because your tall. imagine how weird a tall person who is close to being 5,9, being as thin as a rail, or super skinny? it wouldn't look right. tell your mom that you cannot loose weight very fast, and that being healthy is more important.

Answer 7

you dont really sound like your FAT to me,but if you wanna lose weight,start walking everyday,or jogging,drink only water like 8xs a day,eat less food than what you are eating now,but dont starve yourself.oh yeah, and why is your mom calling you fat???shes supposed to be the one you can come to and feel better about it,not talk down to you!!!

Answer 8

tell your mom to mind 'er own damn business. 5'8"/143lbs. doesn't sound catastrophic. what have you tried? cross training (aerobic AND weight training) seems most effective. reduce caloric intake, especially empty calories, such as alcohol and processed snacks. consult a nutritionist and fitness instructor, if possible.

Answer 9

You're not fat, Honey. You're a good weight for your hieght.
