Am I fat, thin, or just average?

Question

I am 13 years old, am I considered fat, thin or average?
I weigh 83.7 pounds ( 38KG ) and I am 5 foot tall ( 1.54m ).
I really want to be healthy, so is my weight ok?

I'm getting REALLY confused. Some say I'm fat, some say I'm average, some say I'm underwight. Uhh, which one?!

Oh, so I'm a bit thin, and I eat a LOT. I still can't gain weight! I eat more than 8 times a day. =\

Right, so I'll just have to keep a healthy diet. Yeah. NOW, I'm having a HARD time trying to find a good answer. =P

Answer 1

Your weight is not so bad. u need to calm down and stop worrying that ur getting fat. There are a lot of ppl out there in the third world countries that are starving and wished they had a full plate at least once a day. They wished they had some fat on their body so they wont freeze at night out in the cold since they dont have proper shelter.
With that being said, you dont need to focus so much on ur weight but rather that u are making healthier food choices eat more raw fruit and vegetables and less meat. and exercise it helps too.
im saying this because im 20 and yet im really thin for my age. people think i have a good thin body and say they are jealous but its just genetics. i do try to eat healthy but some dessert isnt so bad once in a while.
As long as u eat everything in moderation, then ull be fine. SO STOP WORRYING YOUR NOT FAT!!!! u dont look like a ball so ur fine. being a lil heavy isnt so bad either as long as u take care of ur body.
you should also worry whether u have brains not just looks.

Answer 2

I am your height and I am 21yo and I weigh 57kgs and that is average and acutally slightly below. When I was slightly younger than you I weighed 29kgs in grade 6 but that was too skinny. i think you haven't finished growing yet and for your height, your weight is fine. I think anything over 45kgs would be a little overweight but you are fine. Dont listen to the first answer!!

Answer 3

I don't consider that fat and besides fat is such a ugly word, if you want to be healthy then start eating the right foods and by you doing that you will even loose weight. as long as you feel good about yourself then you will always take care of yourself.

Answer 4

You sound very, very thin. You probably need to put on some weight, especially since you are only 13 and your body is still growing. You do not want to mess anything up during your vital years.

Answer 5

almost to skinny...maybe gain some weight.....all i am saying is just stay healthy. not to thin not to heavy. but don't worry until you stop growing. i know for a fact that you will even out and be the perfect person that you are.

Answer 6

YOU know that is too thin and I suspect you just want people to tell you that you aren't fat. Everyone's body is different but 83 is quite low for your height.
Eat when you are hungry and exercise (not excessively). Don't hyper focus on your weight becaust THAT is unhealthy.

Answer 7

i'm also 13. i weigh 'bout 93, but i'm 5 ft 4 about 157cm. u sound fine to me, maybe a little shorter than the usual, but u'll get your growth spurt. if u feel healthy, u are healthy. don't judge your health by height or weight.

Answer 8

Your doing well. If you are worried about weight cut unnecessary calories out of your diet. Soft drinks, candy bars, and deserts are worst. High fructose corn syrup is very bad.

Your not fat.

Answer 9

Your actually under weight. You should weigh between 95 to 127 lbs.

Answer 10

yeah your weight is good don't worry about your body image. your young u have lots of time to get that the way u want it but it sounds like u shouldn't change a thing that's a good weight
