13 and weigh.......?

Question

I weigh around 145 lbs, i'm 13 and 5'8 (height) my dad is 6'8, so i have a pretty big build.

I do get exercise and consider myself healthy.

But, is this normal?

Answer 1

You are fine. Look at yourself in the mirror. If you see flab, then exercise a little more. But right now you are at a good weight, especially if there is a growth spurt in your near future.

Answer 2

This website (http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/usefultools/l/bl_bmi_results.htm?test=1&gender=1&age=13&months=0&cwt=145&chf=5&chi=8)

says that you are at risk of becoming overweight.

There is more info on this site:

Right now you are in the 86th percentile and if you go above the 95th percentile you are overweight...
