Answers:
No, you're a perfect weight! Your BMI is 20.1 so that's in the 'normal' range :-)Health Question & Answer

Youa re fine, perfectly normal dont worry about it, at your age freaking out abotu your wegith can cause many issues when you get older. Girls and the media put to much focus on weight and what the proper weight is, even online BMI calculators are flase. Each person has a special range their body wants to be in and you can yes control that but your body wont be happy there. After being bulimic for most of my life and being in therapy and in IP treatment for aseveral weeks I learned alot abotu health. You may have a lower or higher weight range that your body is comfortable at. According to my online BMI I am overweight slightly, but according to the scale and special calculator at my Nutritionists office, I am at a eprfect weight since I am a dancer and have lots of muscle. It just depends, but it sounds liek you are jsut fine so dont worry to much, enjoy your teen years and dont stress about that number, because that is all it is, a number. It doesnt determine how important you are or what you are, just a silly number that americe has an obbsession withHealth Question & Answer

You are not overweight.Check your BMI (body mass index) here http://www.weight-loss-surgery-or-weight...

Your BMI is what doctors use to determine if you are underweight, normal weight, or overweight.

Your BMI is about 20.3 which is in the normal range. Normal is anywhere from 18.5 to 24.9. And if you are athletic, then you have nore muscle mass. And muscle weighs more than fat, so that may be why your BMI is higher than you want.

Hope this helps.
