you weigh 112 pounds, I'd say perfect weight for you, neither to fat, nor to skinny just about right.

Ths is yours I did it on the BBC web site'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/health/fightingfat/bodymass.pl
Your BMI result is:
18.67
You are in the healthy weight range.
Medical research suggests that this range is associated with the best health and least risk of heart disease, some cancers, osteoporosis and a range of other health problems. There are no health benefits to changing your weight, but your health will benefit from being active and eating a healthy diet.
It is important that you eat a varied and well-balanced diet, and take regular physical activity that you enjoy to maintain your healthy weight throughout life. This will also contribute to good health throughout life.
Recommended BMI Chart
Underweight BMI less than 18.5
Ideal BMI 18.5-25
Overweight BMI 25-30
Obese - should lose weight BMI 30-40
Very obese - lose weight now BMI greater than 40
A BMI measurement is not as accurate if you're an athlete or very muscular (muscle weighs more than fat) as this can push you into a higher BMI category even if you have a healthy level of body fat. It's also not accurate for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or people who are frail.

8st = 112 lbs. Using a BMI calculator, your BMI is 18.6. Normal is generally 18.5 - 25, so you're at the very lowest end of normal.
In case you're wondering how you compare, for someone your height a BMI of 18.5 would be 111 lbs (7st, 13lbs) and a BMI of 25 would be 150 lbs (10st, 10lbs).

You are within the normal weight for your height and age. DON@T Worry about your weight! Eat well, don't smoke, go to the gym, "don't read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly" (Baz Lurman, Sunscreen - great song) just enjoy life. The future will being you plenty of more important things to worry about.

www.slimmingdoctor.co.uk has a free bmi calculator and you weigh 112 pounds. I would say that you are in proportion...height & weight!

you are far to young to be worrying about your weight.. you'll have time to worry about pointless things when you are older... you dont sound overweight to me.... and even if you are it wont be by much and not enough to worry about...so enjoy yourself while you can as a kid
