Am I overweight at 5'4 weighing 112 pounds?

Ok, so I’m 13 5’4 and weigh 112 pounds. I checked my b.m.I and it said I had a b.m.I of 18.4 at the 44th percintile. what exactly does this mean? And am I overweight?

Answer #1

I think under 18 is considered underweight…

Answer #2

No. Don’t pay too much attention to those things…it doesn’t take into account muscle or anything like that.

Answer #3

umm, it means your slightly underweight! but don’t worry bout it!

Answer #4

No… you’re not.

Answer #5

Singer207! You don’t need to apologize at all! You are not offending me and I really doubt you are offending anyone. I just don’t think you at 13 years old need to worry about your weight so much that you are posting your height and weight online. My opinion is, if you are overweight, you would know it by looking at yourself, not by our responses. I’m glad there is no asshole here that replyed “You’re obese!” and I think all of the responses have been appropriate. Anyway, thank you for not posting more messages about your weight unless you have a serious problem about it. Thank you so much for being so understanding and so kind. You are very remarkable for that. Peace

shawnie9 I’m so sorry about all of this I really don’t mean it in that way and if I’m offending anyone else about this I’m so so sorry I’m not trying to fsh for compliments. And I know other people have weight problems my aunt is in the hospitale because of it. I won’t post any other messages like this if I’m offending people thats the last thing on my list I would ever want to do. I hope you accept my apology. sorry.

Answer #8

I just responded last night to your other post about how you are worried you are overweight. Please read that and take it into consideration. If you keep making posts like this me and probably some other people are going to start to think you are either searching for people to say “No, you’re skinny” or you are still overweight and not doing anything about it. If you seriously think you are overweight, go to a doctor. If you don’t think you are overweight, why are you asking us if we think you are based only on numbers? Please just eat healthy, exercise and stay happy and confident about yourself and your body. You don’t need other people telling you if you are overweight or underweight or normal weight. Peace
