You may be a little over weight but as long aa your happy with your self then dont worry about it to much. But since it sounds like you are, here is my advice. Since you are already active, try cutting back on what you eat and how many caories you eat. They say its best  to excerise 3 times a week 20 mins a day min. Also have your doctor check your thirods, this is what helps your metabolism and sometimes your thirods for some reason could be slow or not working.

Hey man - the girl may have serious muscle like me. \n\nit is hard to describe youself to the opposite sex - for example, I am muscular and athletic and I have a large frame (long legs, broad shoulders)... But if I described myself in a small ad as large frame - then people immediately think it is obesity.

Unless you 5 feet tall you aren't fat. Stop considering yourself fat you will really will be someday. You will be looking back and saying "I wish I only weighed 189 again". Trust me on this. Just keep eating healthy and exercising.

When I was 16 I was about 5'8" and 105-110 lbs (10 years later I weigh about 125). Focus on staying healthy and in shape, don't worry about the weight. Some of us are made to be skinny.

5'5" and I average between 125-130. I think I am a good weight. I have curves which I love. I actually don't think I can get down any lower. I have tried, but can't. And I do think that I am fat a lot of the time. When I lived in NYC I was a moose compared to some of the girls who lived there who were 'trying to be stars' I kept on telling myself that guys find me sexy at my weight and to stop comparing myself to other girls. I don't think guys like girls who are bone thin anyway.\nIt's hard not to compare yourself though. I agree.

Aw, you are in a growing stage, do not worry so much about this. Your body requires tremendous energy for all it's going to be doing in the next couple of years, so it will need that fat.  Fat is stored energy.

Oh my god - Yea.... um, 170/5'6 is not fat by any stretch of the imagination, its healthy and i am sure someone will. Be careful not to look to people who just say nice things about the way you look though, you have intelligence and a lot to offer other than your body. Find someone who respects you for you,  and do not your self-esteem issues/body image problems get in the way of that.

That sounds perfect to me.  I have a very athletic build.  I am solid (hard as a rock) muscle in my legs etc and I have some fat on my booty and a little softness to my stomach.  I am 5'4" and I weigh 140.  People ask me if I am anorexic.  Honest, true story.  It all depends on how you are built and I learned long ago that numbers don't really matter.  I am 140lbs but I am a size 4.  Do not listen to people who tell you about charts because there are many things charts do not take into consideration.  Muscle weighs so much more than fat and if your build is athletic and your body is dense you will weigh more than the chart says you should.  Charts tell me I need to lose weight.  If I lost weight I would look very, very unhealthy.  You sound like you are in the same boat.  You sound perfect to me!!!

Nope, not fat. If you have nice muscle tone that is a very attractive weight for your size.

Well, please allow me to be honest. I am a medic in the U.S. Army, and I myself was around the same weight at that age. First things first. Lets take the focus off your abs. That will come with time. Right now you should focus on your overall health. You know as well as I do that this is not healthy. You want to be more concerned about your heart than your abs. So, lets get started. Eat more. I know it sounds wierd, but try eating 5 meals a day, but smaller portions.  This will stop you from starving yourself so that when you do eat its enough to feed a small country. And what do you do for exercise? Do you have P.E. in school? If you do, thats not enough. Start by doing some walking. Work up to a slow jog, eventually start running.  Do some push ups, if you can.  Those are a whole body exercise. And of course some situps. These will attack those abs. But more than any thing, you must have persistance. Stick with it. Don't give up. if you don't lose weight right away, don't \ngive up. That is something I learned in the Army. Never accept defeat, and never quit. The more you exercise, the faster it will come off. I think you have my e-mail, if not it's: johnnewmaniii1@yahoo.com. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any more questions. I hope this was helpful.

You sound perfectly normal and average size for your height.  Stop stressing about it!  As long as you are healthy, eat a fairly balanced diet and keep yourself moving then you'll be fine.  If people call you fat they are putting you down and not helping you out by saying this so ignore them and instead concentrate on what you think and how you feel.  You're an intelligent person, you know what's good for you and what's not so just remember that!

No your body mass index is 18.4, your underweight.

At your age and height, 115 is a perfect weight.  And, weight is relative anyway.  What is important is what makes up the weight that you carry.  For instance, lean, trim muscle weighs more than fat, so a person without a lot of excess fat on their body is going to actually weigh more than the same-size person who has a lot of excess fat.  So, what you really need to be concerned with is your physical well-being.  Are you in good shape?  That's a much more important question than what you weigh.  I'd say that as long as you are in good shape and not carrying around a lot of excess fat, you're doing fine.
