[ariel22]

im 13 and a half, my ribs and bones are pretty thick, my height is 5'1 and my weight is 130 pounds. am i normal? im healthy? people saying im looking good and all but i THINK ill look better if il lose another 20 pounds which ppl told me to never do that and stay like that (they told me i should lose another 5 kilos max if it really bother me) but i feel fat idk.. can u call me normal and healthy.. i dont look for thin.. i just wanna sleep well knowing im healthy and ok.. between overweight to thin..
Thank you for your support, best place i could find..

130? That's skinny IMO. I'm 150 pounds 5'10". Weighing 110 pounds would make you look malnourished, I think I can safely say you are not fat.

You're right at the border of normal and a little overweight, according to your BMI. You're perfectly healthy, but a little weight loss would benefit you too!

E: G Man, you have a different build since you're a man. Your BMI is fine, hers is a little high. I'm 6'2.5 and 212 Lbs, in good shape.

I would consider that normal
I am 17 and i weigh 175 pounds so consider yourself lucky lol

is 4 kilos enough for me to lose?(9 pounds)
will it make me exact normal? because i can do that

You are not fat, but losing like 5 pounds couldn't hurt.

5 lbs would bring you right under the overweight category, but if you can drop 9 lbs, go for it!

[IAMMCLOVIN]

No lol. If you want to look better, work out.

True, my girlfriend is 5'2" and 100 pounds, but looks perfectly normal.

If you post a picture, then it'd be easy to determine.

Does the BMI chart say you're in good shape or does the mirror say you're in good shape? BMI is worthless in determining if you're in good shape or not, cause everyone has different bone sizes, and different bodies.

I'd calculate body fat percentage, but a BMI reading is a decent enough indicator of physical standing. It's generally accurate enough, goes hand-in-hand with self-awareness of your weight.

[mynameisJ]

You're pretty normal. You're still growing so there isn't much to worry about.

[Mastretta]

im 13 & I weigh 130,so you're ok

[Lovelife090994]

I have the oppositer problem, I'm 5'3 and maybe barely 100 lbs! Skinny but not anorexic. It gets me down sometimes... ok a lot of times.

[itsLOGAN]

Just start working out and you will get all the girls

[Poopie]

Don't know what your talking about. You seem just fine. Not far nor skinny but normal.

[brodyk15]

You sound normal and healthy. It is your body though. Do as you wish!

[VirtualGuy012]

I'm 5'10" and i weigh 118 pounds. Everyone makes fun of me for being so skinny. You're not fat and when you hit your growth spurt you won't look "fat" anymore. You could lose 20 pounds, but the option is up to you

This isn't exactly puberty related.

[stev]

[Castle of Glass]
