Do I need to lose weight?
I'm 13, 5'2.5" and 114 lbs. Before summer started, I was 102 lbs, and then out of nowhere I gained so much weight! My measurements went from 31-27-33 to 35-25-37! I went up 2 cup sizes in bras...now I'm a 32C. I don't get it because my waist got smaller even though I gained weight...I'm confused! Usually I only gain weight when I get taller, but I didn't get any taller this summer! Does this mean I need to lose weight?

No. You clearly know where you gained your weight. Not to be mean, but it seems that you just want everyone to know your breasts and hips got bigger and that your waist got smaller. It's very much common sense. I'm sorry if I was rude.

okay so you asked a question 3 months ago asking about an ADD pill that makes you lose weight... you said then you were 117 lbs,
now you are saying that you gained wieght but no you only weigh 114?
get your story straight, please?


Nickle V
No, I think that is a perfectly healthy weight. As you get older and taller you gain muscles and height, and that causes you to gain weight. Don't be alarmed by the fast gained weight unless you are constantly eating junk food and not exercising, but other that that, you shouldn't worry yourself.
Hope I helped!

no no no no no! not at all! ur only 13 years old its not healthy for you to be going on any diets. ur body is still developing, hence why u went up 2 cup sizes. If you feel like ur getting "chunky" then just try and eat healthy, fruits vegetables, milk, water, and not a lot of junk food or pop. and if ne thing just participate in some extra activities like running or sports, but dont over do ne thing because it can cause ur body to crash. I hope this was helpful, and dont let nebody EVER tell u ur fat and need to change. Im sure ur a beautiful young lady, and If you are happy with ur self thats all that matters.

nope, you're totally healthy. By usin' BMI calculator (Body Mass Index), the result yields 20.3 which means you're in the healthy range (18.5-24.3)
Don't worry, you're in shape

No your just growing...

Okay, you are 13, your bra size and hip size went up, duh, you're developing a woman's shape. Consider that you could have messed up the measurements (they're hard to get perfect), but look at your mom, aunts, older sisters, who ever, and also if you got your period recently, generally women stop growing about 1 year after they start their period. If you haven't got your period yet, I bet you will soon. Also consider heights in your family, if women are 510, you will probably grow more in height, so it's hard to tell your overall shape, but if women are shorter, this might be it, so you may be curvy/hourglass shaped. Consider your eating and exercise recently, but 114 seems a good weight for your height, still (your BMI just went from 18.6, very close to underweight, which is 18.5, to in the normal range, at 20.5, and normal goes up to 24 bmi). Try to continue (or start) healthy habits, like exercise, and then don't worry about pounds or size too much, except when it reminds you you've gotten off track (like too many snacks or whatever). Hope this helps.

Your 13 you shouldn't need to worry about your weight. Also muscle ways more than fat so that can be your solution. Look at yourself in the mirror. Are you satisfied with what you see?

I'm 13 too, I'm 5'7 and weigh about 116-120 pounds I think. And I'm like really skinny. At this age you should way about 115 pounds at the least(although my height adds). That's what my doctor said anyway. If I were you I wouldn't worry. You're most likely just growing. So you do not need to lose weight in my opinion.
Hope I helped,
Marisa

no that means your hitting puberty

perfectly normal

weight doesnt mean anything because muscle weighs more than fat

are u healthy is the question


Aubreigh S
Your doctor or health care provider is the best source to help you determine if you need to lose weight. Your doctor may use the Body Mass Index chart or a weight calculator for kids, similar to the height/weight/body mass index calculator on the site. What is Body Mass Index? Body Mass Index is weight/(height)2, which is your weight divided by your height times itself. Please check my source, it will help.

you're only thirteen, this is normal, you're still growing! please don't let people and the media make you think you need to be extremely skinny and loose weight.

You're becoming a woman. Enjoy! It sounds like you have some great curves now.

You DO NOT need to lose weight. Many women would kill for your body as is.
