Muscle is heavier than fat, maybe you have enough muscle to make you weigh that much. Are you athletic?

Your tall! Thats why you weigh that! Its muscle mass too. Muscle weighs way more than fat, so thats where a lot of the weight comes from. I am 5' 11, and weigh around 140 or so. Its normal to weigh more, the taller you are. If you weighed 100 pounds at your height, THAT would be unhealthy. Just keep eating healthy and exercising often and you will keep a healthy weight.

Think of it this way - the rule of thumb is you "should" be around 100 lbs for the first 5 feet, and then 5 pounds for every inch above that. So if you're 5'8", around 140 should be just perfect. I'll bet you look skinny as hell!

You are tall! im a guy who is your height but weigh 160. Im skinny as well. Males weigh more than females because men have more muscle cells. You are normal.

You don't weigh too much. For someone at your height and weight, you're within the normal range.

If you think you are "skinny" but weigh alot then you probably have an excellent body fat percentage! Have it checked. You will find you are are good shape. I'll bet you have less than 25% body fat.

If you are muscular, then you would physically weigh more. Muscle weighs more than fat, so you can be the same size as another girl, but weigh more if you are more muscular.
