I am 13, 5'3 and 81 pounds......amd I underweight??

Question

I eat alot ans swim a lot but I never put on weight. I have even gotten my period!!!

Answer 1

you might be a late bloomer. I was 16 and 98 lbs i started my period around 16, 17 your breast develope 2 years before your period. so maybe that can give you an idea. still eat regualr meals you might not be getting enough calories. if you are worried go see a doctor. I am naturally petite and was never in theaverage weight range for my age and height

Answer 2

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on your built. Average is 100lbs at 5 foot, and then 5 pounds per every inch. So at 5'3" average is around 115. That's not always perfect though.I'm 13 and 5'6" and weigh 118 pounds. I was once at 130 (which is what I was supposed to be) and I felt overweight. I'm trying to get down to 115 right now. I really depends on how much you eat of what kind of food. Eat what you want while you can, because when you get older your metabolism will slow and then you gain. Good Luck♥

Answer 3

I am a nutritionist
you are the correct weight for your age (you are in the 11th percentile)

your weight has nothing to do with when you get your period

for a 13 year old girl
weight below 76 lbs would be underweight,
weight above 126 lbs is overweight
weight above 150 is obese

Answer 4

You are underweight, by BMI, but as from your description of yourself you sound pretty healthy, I wouldn't worry. If your doctor says that you are fine, then you're okay. Most girls don't get their periods until they are around 100 pounds.
One girl in my class was like you, and her doctor put her on a high protein diet (tons of nuts, peanut butter, soy and the like). She was a vegetarian so that was part of the reason. Now she's great.

Answer 5

no you are what we call in this height and weight porportionate world petite. do not work about it keep swimming you will love your tiny body when your older just stay fit and never let anyone tell you that whats on your body doesd not look right or you need to gain weight or lose it just take care of your body the right way because you only got 1 do it right lil lady

Answer 6
