Answer 1

Dude, I think the women/girls here have gone insane. They don't realize that the guys they crush on are exactly your size. Dude you are not fat at all. Your very VERY normal. dude....come on people. ARE YOU SERIOUS??

5'5 is a lil short, but 143 even on a short person is NOT fat. dude, you could grow all the way through your early twenties. I am 18 I was 5'7 two years ago...NOW I AM 5'11. you'll hit growth spurts dude, don't worry. Hey if you do start to think your hittin the fat a lil hard. Just start runnin and liftin. when your young your body will turn any fat into muscle very quickly. just start lifting with 10's and 15's in two weeks 15's and 20's you get the idea. your fine anyways dude.  

Answer 2

yea just a little

you can still grow a few inches 2 maybe or 1  

Answer 3

Hi,

Seems like you are a little bit overweight. However, you should use the following charts as the guideline to determine that :

As you can see the weight depends on several factors.

I believe you will still grow by a few inches; like 3 to 4 inches at the most.

If you maintain your current diet and exercise routine, you will no longer be overweight when you grow taller.

Hope this helped :) Good luck !!

Answer 4

ummmmmm yeah i think you are ovewrweight sorry but you will grow more

Answer 5

Well my friend unless you're a "late bloomer" you probably won't get much taller. I know from first hand experience :-( but no worries short people tend to live a longer and healthier life. As far as the weight is concerned according to a medical height/weight ratio you probably would be considered slightly overweight. Make sure you are active and eat plenty of veggies and drink plenty of water.

P.S. the sexiest thing on a person is confidence

Answer 6

Depends on your build but I would say you are probably a little chubby for your height. Men can continue to grow into their 20's so you may keep growing. Ask you dad when he stopped growing, you may follow a similar pattern.  

Answer 7

no your not if your a male because im 18 5,6 and weight 200 and when i was 170 i wasnt considered fat or even looked fat i would pay to be 143 thats not fat at all

Answer 8

Are you male or female? Do you play sports, workout, lift weights? Muscle weighs more than fat. So this stuff matters
