Hmm...Am I Overweight?

Question

I am 14 years old, female, about 5'5'', MAYBE 5'6'', not sure, but I weigh (fluctuatingly) 137-142 pounds, with certain variables, such as menstrual cycle (adding the water weight). Am I overweight at all?

Also--I do eat healthy. While most kids my age are out drinking soda; I'm drinking vegetable juice. Granted, I splurge sometimes *obviously* and have a treat, but in most situations; I'd rather just eat the healthy alternative, if there is one.

I am rather tall though...and also somewhat "large-chested" D's...Everyone thinks I look older and it sucks sometimes =[

Answer 1

I think you're average.

Answer 2

You are slightly overweight but dont be alarmed....you are just 14 and if you are eating lots of fruits and vegetables, you will eventually lose some of those baby fats and become a sexy lady....Dont worry too much...have fun!!!! have some sports and get along well with your friends.....Know the foods that you have to be picky with---like those chips and fries and sodas...eat a well-balanced diet and you'll have a better life ahead..enjoy your youth..... :)

Answer 3

You are fine. I checked with a BMI calculator for your age and height. It said you'd only be just overweight at 142lb at 5ft5, otherwise it all came out great.

You should just go by the weight you are first thing in the morning and not when your period is due. We all gain water weight, but that should be discounted.

HTH : )

Answer 4

Do you feel over weight? are you healthy? Your weight is not abnormal for your height but no one can tell you if you are overweight unless they know you. They don't know your muscle mass, if you have a dense body structure, so no one can really answer that well.

Answer 5

maybe your weight fits your height but i think not your age, you're only 14 and you're over weight
