Answer 1

BMI (Body Mass Index) is the new way to look at weight medically. A BMI is listed as 19 is perfect weight. You are 17.5 on the first website. You are listed as underweight at the second website for Ideal Weight. Says you should be at least 129 lbs. The new models are now being called on the carpet as being unhealthy underweight and in a short while I suspect they will enforce some new rules being proposed in Spain and now England is looking at it too where a model must achieve a healthy BMI to be used in advertising. Do not get to fouled up in your dreams to soon. But good luck. I will be looking for you on the cover of Vogue soon.

Answer 2

If you're 115, your body mass index is 16.5, which is anorexic criteria. (Of course you're not anorexic if you're not starving yourself, but just thought I'd bring that to your attention.) Most models have about this BMI. Actually, models with BMIs lower than 18.5 (a weight of 128 for you) have just been banned from runways in Madrid, Spain.

So, I wouldn't lose weight if I were you. If anything, it might take away some of your beauty. Designers seem to be going more for "healthy-looking" models right now.

Answer 3

For years even though I was skinny, I felt fat. I realized that I needed more muscle instead of just loosing weight. It's amazing what happens when you attempt to scuplt your body. Therefore, you might want to try weight training. I'd concentrate on staying healthy instead of just loosing weight. Being healthy shows in all areas of your being from your skin to your figure!!

Answer 4

Don't be so concerned with the number. It is about being healthy. The only thing you should worry about at 15 is eating rightand being active. Most of the pictures of models you see in magazines are air brushed. The models do not even look like that in person.

Answer 5

You can eat more junk food but not a lot as long as you eat something or do something healthy for youself. But the body weight you are in is fine. Just dont worry about it.

Answer 6

No, you are healthy don't change who you are just to become a model. You should still be able to be whoever you want to be including your figure. It's horrible how many girls feal that they can't be accepted unless they are what hollywood would call them "thin" you are fine at your current weight.

Answer 7

You are actually underweight. Most models are known for being annorexic women because they feel he pressure to be skinny since they feel as though other women are trying to take their positions. They weren't signed up as ultra-think people. Just because they are, doesn't mean you should be. If anything, you should just maintain your weight, and you'll be just fine.

Answer 8

Wow, you're really tall. x_x I wanna be like you one day.

And yeah, you can lose weight if you really want to be a model but don't stress yourself too much. Try to lose weight in a healthy way, and don't hasten it. A classmate of mine tried to lose weight in a fast way because of his Taekwando contest, and he collapsed during his exercise because of fatigue.

Answer 9

i think your weight is fine; definitely low enough to support a modeling career. you should diet casually and just cut down on fatty or unecessary foods.

Answer 10

Make sure your breakfast is a balanced one and includes at least eight grams of fiber
