is this the right weight for me? im 5 ft 3.5 inches and weigh 98 pounds. im 13 years old almost 14. is this?

Question

the right weight for me or am i fat or skinny? Also i havent had my period since October. i know that im supposed to get it because i've had it since 5th grade and im in 8th grade now. I dont know why my periods havent been coming lately. is it because im not eating enough since i skip meals sometimes? also, will i ever get my period back or is it gone permanently?

Answer 1

Your ideal weight would be 117 lbs so you are actually 19 lbs below your ideal weight.

Perhaps you should eat a lot of unsalted nuts such as peanuts, almonds and cashews as they contain about 700 calories per 100 gm. They are rich in potassium, magnesium and iron.

Answer 2

first thing, ur a little under weight, second, dont skip meals it doesnt help u lose weight, only water in ur body. Third u better start eating more other wise u will lose ur period and u will start aging and look like a 50 yr old instead of a 14 yr old. u shouldnt be skipping meals but eating a bit more, we're all still growing. Dont skip meals it doesnt help, but eat little meals 5 or 6 times a day. Breakfast the biggest and little snacks between all meals. Ur underweight and if u skipp more meals ull stop ur body from growing. Ur height will be stunned and ur growth will be slowed. eat, exercise, dont skip meals, im 13 too and ive seem what happens to people when they do what u do but way over the edge, its horrible.

Hey,, don't you worry,
Ok First of all, i think that you should feel whatever you think the weight you are.

but technically, your BMI(body mass index) is 17.4 which says that you are underweight. But might not be underweight. Eat a lot of protein and take daily multivitamins. as for the periods...
Im a guy, but i think I know. Periods aren't every month on the dot. They can be early or late.. But if it goes on, then you should check with a doctor.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. YOURE PROBABLY BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE..

Answer 4

Your weight is on the low side for your height, but not necessarily for your age.

One reason women's periods stop for a while is due to low body weight, or illness.

You have reason to check this out with your family Dr, pediatrician or OB/GYN.

Answer 5

WTF. You're sooo underweight! You should
be at leats 115 pounds at that height! You need
to eat otherwise you will look ugly. Your skin
will become sallow and dry. You will get bags under
your eyes. Your hair will become flat and dull. Your
nails will get yellow. Your breath will smell. You will
be thin (and guys don't like skinny skinny girls).

Gain some weight, honey!
Yeah, your period will come back once you
eat for once!

Answer 6

Are you joking? You need to GAIN at least 10-15 pounds and that will just barely put you in the low end of "healthy" for your height. http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm

Sounds to me as though you KNOW you have a problem. You are skipping meals and not eating enough when you do eat. That will definitely stop your periods.

Please talk to your parents and see your doctor. You have anorexia.

Answer 7

Yes, it's fine. As for your period, it may be because of your unhealthy eating habits, and it may be because you're a teenager. Either way, you need to start eating regular meals and taking care of yourself immediately.

Answer 8
