When im 14 years old, 5ft 8 and 27 inchs around belly is that fat?

I am 14 years old. My height is 5ft 8 and I am 8 stone and 26 inch’s around my belly, is that fat?

Answer #1

8 stone? I don’t understand what that means.

What is your overall weight? That’s what would determine if you were overweight or not, because everyone’s body is shaped differently.

Answer #2

Nope that’s just right for a girl not to skinny not to fat

Answer #3

To goyourownway: A stone is a British weight measuring unit. 1 stone = 14 pounds

So, you’re 112 pounds and 5’8’’…no you aren’t fat, and I know you know that. You put this here to get attention, as a lot of girls do. I am a bit tired of it, quite frankly, but to each her own. If you feel the need, so be it.

Overall, I heard that a woman 5 foot tall should be 100 pounds. Then add 5 pounds for every inch of height after that. Just convert those numbers to stones to get an idea of where you ‘’should’’ be. Next time though, when it’s blatantly obvious that you’re thin, don’t come to FA fishing for compliments.

Answer #4

I could not agree more with HeavenlyMind. This question is getting really old. It’s all for attention too, obviously. Usually when females ask this question they’re under-weight and want to flaunt that.

Answer #5

shut up.your skinny.stop asking for attention.

Answer #6

Thanks, Heaven. You learn something new every day. :)

Answer #7

Now that I know what a stone is, I tend to agree with some of the other statements here, since your BMI (body mass index) is 17, which is very underweight. Calculate it here http://www.funadvice.com/r/3js2v63kmq if you wish.

However, I’ve known girls who, despite being very skinny, have been told by someone (a parent, sibling, boyfriend, friend, etc) that they ‘could lose a couple more pounds’ or ‘aren’t skinny enough.’

It may indeed be that you are just trying to get attention, and if you are, then you need to look for it elsewhere, but there’s a chance you’re asking out of honest self-doubt.

If this is the case, then please know that you are NOT fat, but are actually underweight and would be more healthy if you gained one more stone. Please don’t let anyone force their own opinion on you. It’s a terrible thing when people are told things that make them want to hurt their bodies by becoming bulimic or anorexic.

I guess this makes me an optimist, by hoping that is your situation, and not that you’re just an attention-whore. But I’ve seen what can happen when someone doesn’t believe in themselves and then is mocked for it by others. I hope if this is your situation that you gain comfort from this.

I hope this helps.

Answer #8

i dont want to flaunt anything i just wanted to know if other people thought that was fat because i cant tell all i see is a fat person but other people say im skinny so i wanted to have people i did not know tell me what they truely think cause i didnt know whether they were lieing!!!!

Answer #9

i didnt ask for any attention, if i would i would go IM SO THIN IM 8 STONE ISNT THAT AMAZING, But NO my question did not say that i wanted an honest opinion just in case my friends were lieing too me.

Answer #10

i dont want attention i want the truth.

Answer #11

true :/ xxx

Answer #12

Well, you’re not fat, in my opinion, and also based on your BMI as I mentioned.

Answer #13

how is she asking for attention? shes 14!! like really if all you see on tv is perfect bodies no matter how close to that you may be, one little difference will make you feel fat.

Answer #14

Well, you got it. I don’t believe you because I’ve seen countless pics of skinny girls in the mirror labeling their pics ‘’fat’’ or ‘’ugly’’ just to get guys to come on and say ‘’No baby. You’re fckin hot’’. Frankly, I’m tired of it. If your body image really is that fcked up, then I’m sorry for whoever made you feel like that and I wish you the best in life.

Answer #15

Bottom line, no you’re not fat. But I think FunAdvice should post a BMI calculator on the homepage so people will stop asking this question lol.
