I'm just wondering because my mom is anorexic.

I am 15, I'm 5'4", and I weigh 118 pounds.
Is this normal for my age/height?

I'm 5' 5" and weigh about 105. I am constantly eating all day long, so I am far from being anorexic. My doctor says that I am a little underweight but he says I have fast metabolism. I would say yes, it's perfectly normal :)

Well, according to the BMI ( Body Mass Index ) Calculator (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/BMI/bmicalc.htm) your weight is perfectly normal for your height. :)

Also...

Eating Disorders :arrow: Sports and Fitness
I think this is more relevant there. :)

You're probably a little under the average, so in other words, you're doing great(:

Yep. I'm about the same height, though the weight's a little less. And my BMI's normal

Sounds about right, I'm 17, 5'5", and weigh 114. Trust me, you're not anorexic. If you got down into the 80s or 70s, then you might have a problem.
