No, you are not fat. No, you do not have to diet just because the other girls are. Yes, you need to learn how to eat healthy and exercise well. So do your friends, but that is their responsibility (and their parents'), not yours. You take good care of yourself.

Oh sweety! You are only 14. I know that at your age thats when most females begin to develop the self esteem that they will have for the rest of their lives. I used to always think that I was fat and I never was. You are a great weight. In fact you are a little under weight. Your friends are on diets because they have low self esteems. Instead of falling into this trap I would just eat healthy and stay active. In fact if you wanna make your friends jealous then dont diet at all and show them that you are happy with the way you are. They are weaker than you are right now and they will always think that they are fat for the rest of there lives and they will be miserable. Just stay healthy and good luck sweety!

You don't have to follow the crowd. Dieting is not like fashion, it is serious stuff and something you don't even need to think about at 84lb! Even with a small frame, your body fat must be pretty low, so stay as you are or gain weight. If you feel like you are fat, talk to someone because it's all in your head. Take care : )

No Way - don't judge your body by what others do with theirs. You sound on the thin side at 84 pounds, I think you should weight at least 100 lbs.

You should gain weight. I'm 13, 5' 1", and weigh 110. I feel like a pregnant whale, I would love to be your weight. At your age and height, you should be 100 to 128 pounds. You're WAY under weight. You're BMI is 15.4 (lucky you....I wish I could have that....)

No. Weight lose are for those with a problem, I don't believe you have that problem. Instead of weight lose work on a hard body. Push-up, sit-ups and some isometric bands would be great for you.

5'2", 84 lbs.
Your BMI score is: 15.3
No
A BMI score of less than 18.5 indicates you are underweight. You may wish to consult with your healthcare professional or nutritionist to discuss whether any health risks are associated with being underweight.
