Female you're about the average weight, perhaps a little under.

For a male you're very light and probably skinny.

Answer 7

you are thin for your weight.

your bmi is actually very close to the underweight category.

maybe you should try gaining a few pounds.

but your young so dont worry about your weight.

and weight varies from 2-10 lbs each day depending on digestion and food and water intake. it is best to weigh yourself naked, first thing in the morning.

Answer 8

Your weight is perfectly normal, so don't worry about it!  Your BMI is 21.6, which is right in the middle of the healthy BMI (a healthy BMI is 18.5 to 24.5)  Just keep making sure that you drink lots of water, get enough nutrients, and exercising some.

As far as the weight gain, I would not worry about it.  Your weight may vary a few pounds between days because you lose and gain weight due to the amount of water in your body.  (In saying this, I do NOT want you to dehydrate yourself to lose weight, because in doing so you will wind up in the hospital.)

[edit] People, STOP telling this person that he/she is fat, because he/she is not.
