Question: What's a thin weight for someone that is 5'8" and 15 do you think.?
i'm 122 and in health class my teacher measured me with this tape and it said i was above acceptable range for my age...i thought i was fine but above acceptable range means i'm overweight...so what is a thin weight for 5'8" and 15.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
122 is probably right on the edge of thin/average.
its deffinatly not overweight.
but its hard to say if youre thin or not cuz we all have diffrent body types.
you could be 140 lbs. at your height and still not be overweight you could be all muscle.
but anyways, its hard to say but you sound fine.
im sure your thin and gorgeous so dont worry =]Health Question & Answer

So many of us eat so much more and are so much less active than previous generations that many of the height/weight measures for BMI seem strange or outdated. I suspect your teacher is using standards that have not been adjusted for our calorie endowed generation. Most of us just have a few extra pounds which is nothing to be afraid of but we just don't compare in leanness to the less well fed generation before us.Health Question & Answer
Hi Lexi (that's my name too) :D
When I was 14 I was 5'8 and 128 lbs (6 lbs bigger than you) and my doctor said that I was at perfect weight. Of course, I thought I was too skinny as well.
To be honest, I don't know what a "perfect weight" is because many doctors and teachers say so many different things.
But as long as you are healthy, you ARE at perfect weight.Health Question & Answer

Your gym teachers horrible.
Your weight is deffinately not above "acceptable" range.
Your teacher must either be horribly skinny or just a ***** who wants to give everyone some body image issues.
But no you're not above any acceptable range.
Your at a fine weight.Health Question & Answer

Well weight has nothing to do with how old you are.
But it does have to do with height.
well I am 5'8 also and I am 115
But every one says I'm too thin
So probably 118-120 is a good weight
so no, you are not overweight. That teacher is weird. hahaHealth Question & Answer

you can't go by any tape. i am a male 6' foot the tape says i am to weigh 165 lbs. i would look like a zipper if i stuck out my tongue. if you feel good an you look good to your self don't worry about what a stupid tape says. i think122 at 5'8'' is darn good........Health Question & Answer
he might just mean for your age. not your body type. you seem to be pretty tall for your age so weighing 122 is perfectly normal. in fact its a bit under what you should weighHealth Question & Answer
Uh, if you're 5'8", you should weigh about 130-140. I mean, it depends on your bone structure and stuff, but I'd think you were a bit underweight... what the heck.?Health Question & Answer
I think its very normal, your weight, that is. also, thin would be considered something like 100 lbs.Health Question & Answer
my sister is 15 and only 5'3" she weighs about 115 so i think for your hight 122 is a good weight thin would most likely be around 110-115 but that is if you are like size 1Health Question & Answer
if you are 5'8" and weigh 122 then your BMI would be 18.5 so you are healthy
