Please tell me- Am I under weight?

Question

I am about 5'4 and weigh 99 pounds/45kg.

I am 16 yrs old.

Am I underweight? How much?

thanks..!

Answer 1

No.  Because you're so young, that weight is o.k.  Just don't lose any.

Answer 2

Yes. Your BMI is 17. Under 18.5 is underweight.

I am 17 yrs old. 5'3 and 100lbs and I am underweight, so you really must be soo underweight.

Answer 3

wow i wish i was that skinny?!!

I put your weight into a bmi calculator, and it says your classed as underweight. Eat healthily (thats at least 3 square meals a day), exercise reguarly (at least 20 mins a day if possible) and you should remain at this weight, or slowely start to go up to what doctors would say is a stable healthy weight.

I hope i helped!

Answer 4

I'm the same age, slightly taller, and I weigh less. But my doctor doesn't seem to be particularly concerned, so if I'm not underweight, I bet you're not either.

Answer 5

your 15 kg under wight, i say try gain about 8.

good luck :)

Answer 6

id say you're okay. but dont loose any weight.

Answer 7

Yes, you are. Not horribly, but you should think about gaining some healthy weight. Start working out to add some lean muscle weight.

A cheeseburger or two wouldn't hurt.
