Lose like.. 25 lbs.

Answer 2

why do you even ask.  What matters is how do you feel.  Who cares is a bunch of idiots on this site give you answers, what matters is how do feel about yourself. If someone thinks you are fat or skinny, or lopsided, tell them you are just fine and that they should hit the road.

At age 14, you have at least 10 years before you need to worry about your weight and its trend or how it is changing.  

Answer 3

unfortunately you are a bit overweight, but now that you know you can do something about it.

i don't know what your dietary habits are, i'm not going to suggest anything drastic.  just make sure you're eating small regular meals(preferably no take way, processed foods etc...), and if you're snacking try fruits and and stuff.  i mean, you dont have to be completely good!  we all deserve some junk food every once and a while!!!

also, try brisk walking for 30 mins at least three times a week and as you get your heart and lungs working you can progress to a jog or a longer session.

these might seem like a pain in the butt but once they become habit believe me it'll be so easy and its a healthy easy cheap way to lose the excess weight without crash dieting!  and will keep you happy and healthy for the future!

good luck!

btw i checked your BMI online and as it was 25.9 which is in the low end of overweight i felt i should answer.  other wise i wouldnt.  even 5-6lbs would have you back in normal range!

i know your just turning 14 so i dont want to make you freak out, but i think awareness is always a good thing!

Answer 4

Sorta, but not really that bad.

Answer 5

just by about 10 lbs.

Answer 6

No. Don't listen to those people. Do you have a picture we could see though?

Answer 7

you are fine! it is kind of a myth the thing about "pinch an inch", no matter how skinny you are you will always have that little bit that can be "pinched". a picture would help us to see exactly what your dimensions are. but for now i think you are fine.-blurey

Answer 8
