underweight? over? whatd u think...?

Question

im 15, i weight 124 (on the good days, lol) and im 5'8... is this healthy? comments?

Answer 1

You're fine. When I was 15 I was around 120 lbs and 5'10 and I ate like a fat chick! Some people are just naturally slim. I know it's annoying when fat girls and losers think that you are unhealthy or anorexic for being thin. You'll just have to stop worrying about it. Don't bother trying to gain weight now. You are young. You'll gain weight just like everyone else does in your late teens/early twenties at the end of puberty. BMI indexes are not meant to be used on anyone under 18 anyways.

Answer 2

A quick measure of how "good" your health is the Body mass index, or BMI. That is, a measure of body fat based on your height and weight. mconsidering your 5'8 and 124 lbs. You have a BMI of 18.9 which is considered "normal weight". By no means is this a accurate representation of your health though, but this is all i can give you based on the question you asked.

here is the complete set of categories for BMI
* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Answer 3

For that height, you might be a little slender compared to the norm, but don't worry, enjoy your sveltness while you can. The earth's gravity will soon catch up to you and you'll wonder how in the world you only weighed 124. You're perfect the way you are, just enjoy it.

Answer 4

You're not too underweight, but I'd reccomend gaining a little more - if you gained twenty pounds you'd still be a healthy weight for that height. You're still growing, but make sure most of the weight you gain is from muscle not fat.

Answer 5

Sounds like a good weight to me!

Answer 6

That doesn't sound too healthy...
You're too tall to weigh so little.
