Truth is your not fat but you have been brainwashed to beleive that the woman you see in the mag. and on tv are real. They are not. Real woman have curves and are proud of them. Again you are not fat.


clayton_ryan@sbcglobal.net
Your weight is just fine. You are not fat, but average. However if you want to loose 10 lbs, that is quite reasonable for your age and height without being underweight.


nikkisixxfan187
dont worry about your weight its just more cusion for the pushing


madame94
weight has nothing to do with your health, muscle weighs more than fat. what you need to knowif your healthy is, how healthy ur organs are and how much fat you have,.. u need a doctor for this

You are not fat.

For your age and height you are the within the correct weight according to BMI calculators. Don't worry about it. As long as you eat healthy meals and get enough exercise you are fine.

Too many people stress about wanting to be ultra thin, it is insane. I know many people who are thin (sizes 0-3) but it doesn't make them any happier or prettier.


étoile
No. If you are an athlete maybe then your weight attributes to something and it's ok. You're still growing don't think of things like that. If you are worried just exercise! It's good for your mind to -endorphins plus!Love your body!!!

You're not fat, your at a good weight for your height!

No. You're 14. You're probably going to grow another few inches. I think you should just focus on maintaining your weight, and make sure you eat a healthy balanced diet, and stay physically active.

Besides, 122 is perfectly healthy at 5'3". And even nicer at 5'5". :) Wait a year or two before you decide you want to lose any weight, when you're closer to your adult height.

not at all

Honestly your weight sounds like its perfect. I've always been on the very skinny side. You don't want to be too skinny.

You can't tell just by height and weight. Some people are big bones, some small. No matter what your frame is, that is not a high weight, so you are not fat. My friend and I weighed the same and she was much fitter than me. She was very muscular, and I was more flabby.


spoiled_angel07
No, I don't think your fat....your just fine...Don't worry about your weight too much, losing some and staying fit and active and in good physical shape is great and we all need to do it...however, it can turn to extremes really quick for someone your age. I'm 19 and when i was your age I was anorexic/bulimic and it lasted until about a year ago and it's still a struggle....anywayz, I have nerve damage in my legs from ''dieting'' and a lack of vitamins and minerals in my body cause terrible muscle pains quite often. So, what I'm tryin' to say is, don't worry about losing weight and if you really must just please don't take it to extremes...I wish i hadn't...But good luck with what ever you decide!!

If you are so concerned about your weight, talk to your doctor.

Also, don't be surprised if your weight doesn't change much. You will build muscle in different parts of your body than you did while you were in softball. Also you (and every other person who wants to lose weight) must remember that muscle weighs MORE than fat so, if your weight doesn't change it's not that you haven't lost inches, it's just that the fat has turned into muscle. But, honestly, your weight is fine.

Also, if you stop eating food with enough calories, you are going to tire more easily while running and you won't be able to keep up with the team. I would seriously talk to your doctor about what foods are best to keep your weight down and yet still give you enough energy to be able to run and work out with the team. Be sure to drink enough water or gatorate so you don't get dehyrated. Good luck.

I think your weight is the appropriate weight for your height don't worry you are quite in proportion

Don't be ridiculous. You're perfect.

It says you're right in the middle of average. Therefore, you're perfect. Don't change a thing. :)


oh really

You sound like you are a good weight. Everyone's body is different. At your height, you should weigh between 105 - 140 and you are in that range. Just play sports and cut down on junk food.

Hello I checked ur weigt on a BMI(Body Mass Index). U have a healthy weight. For a 14 who 5 foot 3 and is 122 pounds gosh people would die for the figure. The BMI says u r very healthy and should mantain that weight
Hope I helped

Sweetie, you sound perfectly healthy....weight wise. It's your mind I'm concerned about. You are only 14 years old & you are already stressing about weight. This is a bad sign & one you should not ignore. It's WRONG for you to join track just for the sake of losing more weight if you prefer softball. I'm guessing you are looking at the starving & anorexic skeleten looking girls on the covers of all the magazines & idolizing them. They are not healthy. If you try to get your body to look like theirs you are risking your life. Now is the time to go & be a kid. Have fun at whatever sport you choose. Hang out with your friends. You are placing WAY too much value on your weight and what others think of you. Be yourself. Be happy. Be positive. Be confident. Those are the most attractive features in anyone.

That's the truth.


Abby
no you are not fat

I wish there was law against asking this question....


denise_in_ohio
Ok sweetie....according to my weight calculator, you are PERFECT! You can still be considered "perfect" with 6 more lbs on you....now...enjoy it! Even if you weighed 300 lbs and your face was covered with pimples you would still be perfect because that is how God made you. Go to your mirror every single morning and remind yourself that you are beautiful. Yes, even on the bad hair days. Your self worth is worth so much more than what people think of you. Be proud of who you are, and always remeber the 4 "be's"
1. Be proud of yourself
2. Be safe
3. Be smart
4. Be nice to people
These are the qualities that will make your inner beauty shine as much as your outer beauty. You are a good person and just need to remind yourself of that often.


Pam
My god. My are teenagers so worried about what their weight is?? No you are not fat. For your height - your weight is ideal.

You're not fat, you're healthy. If you'd like, just stick with track like you mentioned and it will keep you toned, other than that your body is a great size.
