I'm currently 17 and standing just over 6ft (maybe 6 1 or 6 2) and I'm about 11st.. Not sure if this is high or not... I don't have much muscle and have a little bit of fat still around my sides and breasts...

Over the last 2 years everyone keeps saying to me how much I've grown and how much slimmer I look (was I really that fat? :-P) so do you reckon I'll quickly lose the fat soon? Gonna start cycling and weight lifting after exams

i just turned 18 on saturday, i'm 5ft 11 and i weigh around 14 stone - however i used to weigh around 17-17.5 in my peak... i have a bodyfat of around 10%
this is what you should use to measure you weight, the whole BMI thing is way off track for someone even remotely athletic - my BMI is closer to 30, saying i'm overweight whilst i'm well within the health body fat %

you can work out your bodyfat % here: :)

Probably above 30...quite high?

that is quite high, focus on moving more and reducing calorific intake - think long term, not short term fix. Change your lifestyle, don't look for shortcuts :)
it's easier said then done, eat more vegetables, protein and less processed stuff.
go to the gym, do some cardio, and eat healthy = win

It's between the 25 and 30 pictures. I don't have as big moobs as in that picture but they're not defined like in the 25% pic.
(I can try to upload a pic if it helps clarify)

a pic would help, and i could give you an estimate?
but it's just an estimate, the only way to find out for sure is going to a doctor or a nutritionist

Here you go. As I said before I think I'm around 11 stone (max 11st 4lb) and around 6ft 1-2

i'd say around 20%, 25% tops
