hi,im 13 and 5ft 2 and i weigh 9 stone exactly which is about 130 pounds (i think).I tried this BMI thing and i got a bmi of 23 which is actually normal weight not oerweight.But i look fat VERY fat and i cant really bear to look at myself anymore,but im young and there are certain myths like you have to wait untill you are your full height before you knwo if you are fat as your body weight has to spread and breasts have to grow( :oops: ) ,so im basically asking am i overweight and are the myths true or not? if i am overweight could you give me some tips? :?:

Doesn't sound like you're all that fat. Probably nothing to worry about at all. All you need to do is find a good sports type hobby and get active.

Sounds as if you are about where you are supposed to be. If you are only 13 your body is going to be changing and you shouldn't worry about it. If you think tht you look fat, try adding some strenghth exercises to your routine to tone your muscles. This would probably be a better approach for you at this time in your life. I would also ask your family physician what he thinks!

I wish I weighed 130! I also wish I was 13 :)

more than likely you will. i myself wouldn't want to go back to being 13, but thats just me! losing a few pounds now is easier than doing it later!! 8)

Id actually like to lose 5lbs,any tips?

^that was me :D

I would try and add a little exercise, and try to eat a little healthier. Maybe cut back on sweets and treats for a little while! Five pounds isn't a lot of weight, and should be pretty easy to lose :D HTH!
