Im 17 years old and I weigh about 140 lbs and im 5”2 I play on a very competitive soccer team and train and run a lot I wasnt always heavy at all I was probably too skinny what should I weigh?

Answer #1

well id think like bout 120 lbs. im 5’7’ and weigh bout 140. and im lil chunky in my tummy lol

Answer #2

I’m 5’2 and I weigh 117. I personally would like to be between 110-115 but my main goal is to decrease in fat and increase in muscle.

Answer #3

Sweetie that size isnt fat at all, if you wanna tone up you can lose 5-10 lbs but that BMI calculater and ideal weight for your height is too general, everyone shouldnt look like sticks and everyone body shae is different so just get to a size you are comfortable with…im the same height and weight and I look fine yet another person with the same stats may look bigger or smaller, everyone is different but do what makes you happy…

Answer #4

im 17 also and 5’2 and I weight 119 getting too a toned tummy :D I wish I were taller though email me isamarz21@yahoo.com if I can grow taller and how??

Answer #5

you should atleast be 160, but it depends if thats muscle weight or fat weight

Answer #6

I think you are at the perfect weight for your height. If I were you I wouldn’t gain weight but I definitly wouldn’t not lose an ounce.

Answer #7

Put your numbers in the first box and you’ll get a readout of your ideal weight, weight range, and BMI: and weight range automatically shows up in the third box: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm

Take care !!

Answer #8

I went through the same thing. I was always skinny growing up. now im 5’1 and 117. if you wanna be average, then around 120. below average would be around 115

Answer #9

dont feel too bad, im 5’8 and weigh 112 pounds, I cant seem to put weight on no matter what, I’ve been like this for 5-6 years now

Answer #10

It really depends on your body type and your genetics (mom and dad). I have a friend who was slim and beautiful. She plays soccer a lot. But her parents are stocky. So at 16 she’s started to ‘spread’. But as long as you’re physically active and in good shape, just don’t pig out, be fit, a few extra pounds aren’t big deal. My friend is no longer an hourglass figure, but she’s in shape and can kick butt. You can’t change your body type, you can change your body fitness. You go, girl.
