Am I heavy?????

Question

ANSWER HONESTLY PLEASE
I am 5'3, 120 pounds, and 13 years old. Almost everyone says I am average, which makes me wonder if average is really more on the fat side because of how the average weight has gone up these days. So if you were to hear these stats would you think I was fat? Not by comparing me to the average but on how you judge people. Please be honest, just say what you are thinking right now.

Sometimes I ask my guy friends and they just say I am fat everytime, but see we always joke around and hardly take anything seriously so I can never tell if they are saying that honestly or not and I dont really want to ask. They also say that to my other friends who actually are on the heavy side so I just wonder if I am too.

I am a girl, I just am more comfortable asking my guy friends

Answer 1

You are just right. You don't need to be too skinny. I can't stand for girls to think they have to be sticks....sticks don't have figures. Look at the chart below. You ARE average and Average in this case is GREAT!

This is a chart for females....I'm just assuming you are because most of the time girls worry about their weight. If you are a guy you can do a search in Yahoo for "Weight Height Chart male"...THANKS!

Answer 2

According to the BMI and other stuff you are a very good, healthy weight but I think you know that. If I am understanding your question correctly what you are asking is if we would think you were fat to look at. Since I can't see you I have taken a good look at one of my best friends. She is same weight but two inches shorter, short **** as we call her:) OK teasing aside, my friend is gorgeous, always the one who gets chatted up when we go out. She always looks great, defiantly not fat. So yeah, your not fat.

Answer 3

This is an average, healthy weight for your height. And when I say average, this is in no relation to the fact that people's weights have increased in the last few decades. If you want to go down that road, the average american woman your height is over 140lb and overweight. So don't worry, because you're weight is perfectly fine.

Answer 4

Oh, don't underestimate yourself. Everybody has their own problem. Maybe you feel discomfort with these jokes and words, but everything will be fine if you ignore these words and find something more valuable. If you decide to have diet, try to use natural programs and don't believe if there's a word '100% success!'. I suggest to you find someone who has same characteristic with you. You will aware that you're not alone. By the way, sometimes my friends tell me that I too high... But no problem. This is my life, isn't it?

Answer 5

at 13 you may still have a little baby fat on you and thats perfectly normal and good for you,eat healthy get plenty of exorcise and you will have nothing to worrie about. 5'3" and 120 pounds isnt fat by any means

Answer 6

you actually fit right in to your age and height. you see, your tall...well taller than i am, and your 13. so your perfectly HEALTHY...but it depends on what all of that is. do you have muscles mostly-or fat? muscle weighs more than fat, so if your like me, thats where you get most of your weight from. :) dont worry about it. eventually, you will lose ALOT of your weight just like that! my sisters, their friends, and lots of people i know used to be chubby at your age. now they're thin! so don't even worry about that gurl--ur FINE and if u want the truth from ur friend...just ask him...tell him that your serious--if he's a friend, he'll understand. and whatever his answer is, its just the truth to him. :)

Answer 7

what comes to mind is, average "meaning" you are the average weight for your size "meaning" how you should be. wish i was average and im same height as you.my daughter is 17 on tue and she is 120pounds and as a stunning figure and she as been this weight for yrs, she also is 5'3. stop worrying.

Answer 8

Healthy range for your height is 104-140 pounds. You may toward the the higher end of healthy, but you are DEFINITELY not heavy.

Answer 9

no, i really think that you're average. i'm 14, 137 lbs and 5'5". i'm a skier though, so i have large thighs. sometimes i feel self concious, but then i remember how powerful i feel when i'm skiing really fast. if it bothers you, find a sport that you like. otherwise, just be yourself!! as long as you're healthy, it really doesn't matter.

Answer 10

Tone up but don't worry about your weight. If you worry too much you'll become at risk for anorexia.
