I was just curious....am I skinny?

Question

Hey, thanks for responding! I'm just your average 15 year old girl who wants the HONEST opinion on her body. I'm 5'5" and a half and weigh between 107-109 pounds, and size 0/00 depending. I know it SOUNDS skinny, but I don't know...am I? It certainly doesn't look like it in the mirror :( Thank you all so much!

Answer 1

I wish i was that skinny too. trust me you sound like my friend she is super skinny and she thinks she is fat and complains about it all the time. Until you reach size 9 or above you are not fat. Jeez...lol. plus dont trust your mirror.

Answer 2

Based on your height and weight, you have a BMI (body mass index) of 17.8-18.1, which is just a smidgen -under-weight.  A normal BMI is 18.5 - 24.9.  You'd still be ok if you gained a few pounds.  If you want to check that, you can always do a search for BMI calculator.

Answer 3

I wish I was your size! You are definitely skinny.

Answer 4

ummm  ... we cannot answer w/o photos or know thigh, waist, hip, bicep, etc. measurements ...

you could have that weight and wear that size clothing and have a horridly high % body fat ...  more info for an informed answer, please  :)

eat protein and workout and find out your % body fat ...  if you are obsessed with being small, then you want to be 12-15%  body fat ...  anything below 10.5% is the danger zone where a woman's body actually eats the visceral body fat - this is the stuff the protects your organs ...
