Answer 1

yeah I was the same way at your age. You have a high metabolism so everything you eat gets burned off at a high rate. As you get older, it will most likely slow down, but it's nothing to worry about right now

Answer 2

It's fine. And if you're eating and not gaining, it means your body is using the weight for growth. So keep eating until you feel you've reached your adult size and start gaining weight when you eat lots.

Stay fit, though. That's more important than watching your weight. You need to be active and keep that up forever.

Take care, sweety,

Answer 3

if you are very active that plays a role due to a high metabolism. it could also be hormones and chemical re-actions in the body. Things like stress and fatigue can play a role.

Answer 5

your weight sounds normal depending on how tall you are....if your very tall i would say try to eat foods that have carbs to try and gain a little more weight.

Answer 6

i'm around 120 lbs. and i'm healthier and more agile bec. of it; extra weight is like carrying sandbags hanging on our body. extra weight weighs and slows us down and makes us not want to do much bec. of it.

Answer 7

im only 126 and im 18 and almost 5'10-im really skinny, but i'm healthy-i eat a lot too but i burn it off by running and stufff.

Answer 8

depends on your height.
