My weight is way too light for my height i think?

Question

I'm 13, 5'7 - 5'8 and I only weigh 99 lbs, is that bad, good, normal? i feel fine though but I'm just wondering.

Answer 1

pretty thin, but if you eat and you feel good then you are probably good.  

Answer 2

Yeah, you probably want to hit about 130-140...but some people just have incredibly fast metabolisms...if you are interested in gaining weight then pack on some extra calories, maybe 2500 per day to gain a pound a week, be sure it's consisting of healthy foods so the weight is lean muscle and not fat

Answer 3

your fine.  you just dont have much body mass dont worry

Answer 4

woah dude im  5' 11" and 15 and 140 but i remember when i was 13 around that height i was 120. Ur a bit skinny, but idk im a football player...i would eat more (MEAT and BEANS and VEGGIS, not donuts) and maybe start working out light at the gym

Answer 5

yes it is

Answer 6

yeah your skinny but if you dont feel weird and your diet is normal then don't worry, you will most likely put on weight in the next two years

Answer 7

i think it is normal i am the same age and i weigh 85

Answer 8

weight lifting!!

protein!!

Answer 9

You are very thin.  You need to work on bulking up with high protein shakes.  Try calorie high calorie drinks to add calories.  You would be healthy with 25 more pounds.

Answer 10

too scrawny get some meat on ya bones!

Answer 11

Wow.

That is kinda light.

But as long as you eat healthy and aren't forcing yourself into this weight, you'll probably be fine. Everyone is different and some people are just naturally thin as some are just naturally thicker.

Answer 12

for your age i think your normal I got tall [but not as tall as you are....and still not] I got taller then later I got heaver so just live life normally  

Answer 13

Your body mass index is 15.5. The normal range is 18.5 to 24.9, so you're underweight. At your height, you would need to be 118 pounds to reach a normal weight.

Answer 14

It's normal!I'm 13 and I weigh 91 pounds and I'm really tall too!And I did the Wii Fit thing and it said my weight was normal,so your okay!

Answer 15

you're definitely underweight.

Answer 16

You are underweight, but you have to remember that you are still growing.  Your body will catch up eventually.  I wouldn't worry about it.  Everyone is built differently.  You might have very fine bone structure and be lucky enough to be thin your whole life!  

Answer 17

It's just your natural weight. Keep eating, & being healthy - you're still young.

Answer 18

I know it sounds weird, but you need to exercise.  Exercise doesn't make you lose fat.  It makes you gain muscle.  Muscle weighs more than fat.  It's a known fact.  That's why you should exercise.  Alright?  

Answer 19

Answer 20

Answer 21

that's is really light..you need some muscle!

Answer 22

I think you are on the skinny side a little. I would just eat healthy and exercise daily. And if you still feel good, then you are fine.

Answer 23

Wayyyyy too light.that is a good weight for someone that weighs more like 5 or 5'1.  My friend that is very athletic, (4 hours of basketball a day) and is the same height and weighs like 120.  She is very skinny, and I think that is the lightest you should br.

Answer 24

you probably just have a really fast motabolism,

i'm 13, about 5'6 and i'm 98,

i'm a girl though,

I think we're normal :]

Answer 25

that is VERY light just as long as you go to the doctors normally and stuff you should be fine...

Answer 26

eat more, dude, ur skinny!

Answer 27

Check out the referenced chart that shows the span of weight and height for boys 2- 20 years old.

You are on the 50% curve for weight at 99 lbs, and on the 95% curve for height at 67". You are tall, so that might come from a growth spurt of the bones and the rest of the body just needs to catch up. Your exercise is probably keeping you lean too. Maybe your parents are tall and slim. But, if you are feeling fine then you shouldn't worry, so just keep tracking your stats monthly and talk to your pediatrician at your next check up.

Answer 28

bad. you should gain about 20 pounds. You are very underweight.

Answer 29

Since I'm only a couple inches taller, a year older, and forty pounds heavier, I would say yes. If you feel fine, don't try and increase you weight. Just maintain a normal diet.

Answer 30

You need to gain some weight, you are under weight according to your BMI (body mass)

to calculate your Body mass and see how you doing
