Question

(girl

Answer 1

NO!!!!!!

i'm 5'4 and 8 stone, and everyone (including me) thinks i'm far too skinny but i just don't put weight on...

weight alone is a very poor indicator. depends on what shape you are, how much is muscle, how much is fat.... *healthy* can be all different shapes and sizes...

and

14 is WAY too young to be worrying about weight or thinking of dieting. your body is still growing, changing, needs proper nutrition. eat a healthy balanced diet - plenty fruit and veg, carbs, protein and fats. eat cream cakes and fried food now and then if you like them. unless there is a medical problem like diabetes that could lead to uncontrollable weight gain, your body will settle to it's natural shape and weight.

Answer 2

For a 14 year old? That's borderline. I'm a guy, and very broadly built (big shoulders, big chest) and I might have weighed 130 when I was your age (I was 5'4" for about two months, but 5'8" on my 15th birthday and topped off at 5'11 just before I turned 16).

Then again, weight standards have changed since the 1970s. Just be sure that you are eating a NUTRITIOUS diet (lay off the fish and chips) and getting enough exercise and you'll be fine.

Answer 3

Nope. You're fine.

A stone is equal to 14 pounds. So you weigh 126 pounds.

If you look on www.tescodiets.com they have a free bmi (body mass indicator) calculator that tells you according to you age height and weight whether you are in your healthy range, take a look. I did it for you and you were well within your healthy range so stop worrying! Steph x
