I am a Registered Nurse. According to the information you provided regarding your height and weight, your BMI (body mass index) is 19. Just to give you an idea of what that means, 19 is the lowest BMI that falls into the "normal" category. Normal is 19-24, Overweight is 25-29, Obese is 30-39 and so on. It is acceptable for you to have a BMI of 24 (the highest in the normal range) which would include a maximum weight of 144 pounds. This information is provided without regard to your age, however, at any age 112 is a great weight for a person of your height.

Well it kind of depends on the situation. You see I am 5'3 and 115 pounds, but I am very skinny. Only 5% body fat. I am mostly muscle thats why I am skinny but weight 115 pounds. If you are mostly muscle then yes I would say you are skinny. And that is actually a very very good weight for your height. It is skinny. So I am honestly going to tell you that you are skinny. I mean everyone has those days when they think they are fat, i do alot and I fast for like one day and then I am like, what am I doing Im healthy.

I know that when you go up to people and ask if you are fat they aren't going to tell you, it is better to get an answer online.

Honestly you are not fat. You have nothing to worry about! You are at a great weight

112 sounds fine, especially at your age. As you mature it would be good to put on a little bit more weight - curves are sexy, being a flatchested stick isn't so much. I am only 5'3" and think 125 is just about perfect for me.

At your age it's natural to obsesse about your body a bit, but it's not always healthy, and most young women have a distorted idea of what they really look like. I know I look back on my own highschool pictures and think I must have been insane to think I was fat back then - I looked good!

Just avoid junk food and eat lots of good foods including fruits and vegetables and get some excercise. Drink a lot of water (avoid soda) and get a good night's sleep every night. Forget the scale and focus on how you feel, not how you look. Do you have tons of energy? Are you generally happy? Do you get sick a lot or rarely? These things are what are important. And these things are what make you fun to be around and more attractive than what a mirror can show.

I'm 5'5', and looked like a ghost at 117. My ideal body weight is between 125 and 135. You are toying with an eating disorder if you think 112 is too fat. Get some psychological help TODAY!

Hunny Im 5'6 and weighed 140 lbs before I got pregnant and I had a really nice body and looked great. So honestly your fine. Dont worry about being fat. I would say if your 5'5 you dont have to even consider you are fat until you hit maybe 160lbs but that all depends on your body type as well. So I wouldnt worry about it. But if you are still worried talk to your doctor and they can tell you if you are over weight or not. Which I highly doubt that you are.

At your height and weight you may need to add a few pounds. I know that any one who is 5'6' should weigh 150 pounds.
No matter what we weigh, there are times we do feel too fat or too thin. Just be sure to look at your self honestly. Listen to what your friends and family says.
If need be do check with a doctor.

You weigh 112 pounds and you feel fat? You are not fat. You should probably add a few cheeseburgers to your diet. There are people who really have a problem with keeping their weight under control, and here you are as skinny as a rail and you're worried you're fat. I'm 5'10" and I weigh 185 pounds and I only feel slightly overweight. Watch out, anerexia has killed people before.

At your height and weight, I'd say that you are a bit on the 'skinny side' ... so if you 'feel fat' you may have an eating disorder, and if you don't you could easily develop one. If I were you, I'd stop thinking about my weight and what I look like so much, and concetrate on 'good things' like your grades in school, and your friends and family, and the things you like to do. If you DO have an eating disorder, or even 'think' you might, then you need to SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY and DEMAND HELP ... eating disorders are frequently fatal and should be taken SERIOUSLY.

For Your Body Height And Weight You Are Perfectly Fine. However It sounds like You Have an issue with self esteem. Don't be influenced by "society's" View of you just be yourself. And Whatever you do don't turn into another statistic. There are enough ladies out there with eating disorders that are very difficult to deal with.
