I dont know look in the mirror and tell me. stop relying on generic guidelines and other people for self esteem.

excuse me but Im looking for a second opinion mwaning that I cant judge clearly, obviously I am unsure about my weight if I am asking in the first place so hence the reason Im asking. Although I appreciate you tryying to help I do not like being accused of having low self-esteem, I was trying to get some idea if anybody knew if that was an average weight for somebody of my height/age.

You are not fat, and don't ever let anyone tell you that you are no one has the right to make you feel bad about yourself unless you let them! hope this helps xxx I'm 16 and am about 9 and 1/2 stone and am about 5 ft 6ins in height and a size ten. I don't consider myself to be fat. That was just so you could compare really. Again I hope this helps. O and don't listen to el duerino haha!

your not fat. look in the mirror and look at yourself inside not your out side, and i weigh more than you and im the same age etc so your not fat darling :) x

If you're size 8 there is no way you're fat. You're probably underweight if your body mass index was worked out.

There are weighing machines now that can measure fat in ur body...ok. they will tell u how much fat ur weight contains... whether u go by that scientific data or others opinions is up to u....but most important of all be happy with urself. Remember ur body is urs...use as u want to. "Dont look at the glossies they will only make u feel fat!" lyrics from a song ...dont know the title.

If you calculate your body mass index (BMI)which is the most accurate way of assessing whether you're a healthy weight (your GP would use this method)you'll see that your result is 21. This is perfectly within the normal/healthy range of 18 - 25. Don't worry about it!

If ur 8 st 2 pounds ur not 112 lbs ur 114 pounds. Just thought id let yer know.:+)

[el duerino]

BMI is useless on its own really. its wot stupid gym instructors and company docs who have no idea use.
