Answer 1

For your age, you are actually under weight. As for your height, I would say you are normal. If you are under 100 pounds at your height and age, then you are not being healthy towards your body. What I could tell you is that I weigh more than you and I was told that I was at a perfectly average weight for my age. I am 18, but then, again, I am almost 6 feet tall. What I can tell you, is lay off any sweets. It is okay to have something sweet once a week. You need to consume about 2,000 or so calories a day. Eat three balance meals. you want eat a lot of vegetables and fruit. Eat meat, you need to have actual protein and iron in your diet. don't resort to pills. Fish, pork, and chicken are good if you don't like red meat. If you eat anything with chop meat in it. Use half beef, and half turkey. always remember to exercise. Just for the record, weight is normally determined by your age not you height. Although, if you are short, it may look awkward, but don't let anyone tell you what you should look like. You are perfectly normal and sometimes diets are not healthy at all. Being a vegetarian is not healthy, eating only carbs is not healthy, eating no carbs is not healthy, only eating fruits is not healthy, etc.

Answer 2

it really depends on ur height =P not how old you are.

but i'm guessing you're around 5'5?

if ur any taller than that, you're pretty skinny

so DONT lose any weight

Answer 3

Lose anymore and you'll be anorexic.

Answer 4

It depends on your height mostly, but at any height for a normal person at 19, 118 pounds is fine.

Answer 5

Well it sounds fine I wouldnt lose more weight :o But you dont specify your height so I'm not sure,try the online BMI convertors theyre a good indicator! -x

Answer 6

well it depends on how tall you are. I'm 16 and 5'7'' and I weigh 120 and I'm still considered under average weight.

My guess is your fine. 118 is pretty tiny ;)
