Height, Weight, && Body Image.

[Cinderpelt]

I didn't see a recent topic on this.

Here is the old weight topic I found using search, and it's going to be three months old tomorrow: here.

And it was solely on your weight, not all of the things that come with it.

So I personally thought a new topic would be acceptable, but if I was mistaken, this can be closed.

Thanks.

So, weight has been an issue for me lately, and is also and interesting topic / discussion, in my opinion.

So I decided to hear from TT.

* How much do you weigh?

* How does it correspond to your height? Age?

* What's your Body Mass Index (BMI)? (here)or here

* Clothing size?

* How do you feel about it?

* How does it affect you?

And of course, general discussion as well.

* How much do you weigh?

I weight 103lbs atm. I actually lost five pounds in the past few months, but I lost muscle, due to the end of track season. So that's not exactly a good thing.

* How does it correspond to your height? Age?

I'm 5'2, so I'm fairly short for my age. But it bothers me how people many inches taller than me weigh the same as me. It makes me feel stocky, because I'm short for my age and a bit curvy. D: (btw, I'm fourteen, fifteen in like a month.)

* What's your Body Mass Index (BMI)?

My BMI is 18.8, which puts me on the 35th percentile; healthy for my height and age. According to kidshealth.com, the healthy weight range based on my height and age is 89lbs - 131lbs.

* Clothing size?

I'm either a size 0 or a size 1 in pants, depending on the brand. I also have to buy either petites or shorts, because I'm well, petite and short. Despite my clothing size, which I am completely comfortable with, I still feel that my stomach is a bit soft. D:

* How do you feel about it?

It generally depends on my mood. Obviously, I am insecure right now, thus triggering me to start a discussion. But other times, I'm completely comfortable with my size.

* How does it affect you?

When I feel fat, I drink lots of water and stop eating for a couple of hours (I normally get this way in the evening, so then I don't eat before I go to bed).

I understand that this is a touchy subject, and you have no obligation to post of if you don't want to. Also, let's not get flame-y or negative with our comments. Stay mature and positive with your relationship towards others in this thread. Thanks

* How much do you weigh?

Around 70lbs.

* How does it correspond to your height? Age?

I'm only around 4'9" but I'm still extremely skinny. I'm 12 years old, turning 13 in October, and I'm smaller than anyone I've met that's my age.

* What's your Body Mass Index (BMI)?

My BMI is 15.1. This puts me below the 5th percentile, indicating that I'm underweight. According to this website, the healthy weight range for my height and age is 71-103lbs. I only have to gain 1 more pound until I'm at a healthy weight.

* Clothing size?

In pants, I wear a size 10 slim in kid sizes. My pants are just slightly short, so by the time I go school shopping I'll be up to around a 12 slim, which is the next size up. As for shirts, I wear either a 7/8 or a 10/12 in kids. It depends on the brand. For places like Aeropostale I wear either an XS or S. Either fit me but XS is a bit better since it's not as baggy.

* How do you feel about it?

I don't care at all. I've always looked like this, and I've never had any problems with my weight. I do wish I was over 5 feet, because it stinks to always have people thinking you're 8, but I don't think it's that big a deal because I'm not done growing.

* How does it affect you?

It really doesn't. I've never paid much attention to my height and weight. They were just always a part of me. There are other things about me that I'd like to change, such as I wish my vision were better so I didn't have to wear glasses but I know that contacts will always be available in the future so this isn't a huge issue.

 

[RawryCakes.x]

* How much do you weigh?

Somewhere between 85-90lbs

* How does it correspond to your height? Age?

I'm kinda underweight. Only about 3 people in my class are lighter than me, and theyre all under 4'10. And I'm 5'3

* What's your Body Mass Index (BMI)?

15.1 5th percentile. My height people should be between 85-125lbs.

* Clothing size?

S or XS in adults.

* How do you feel about it?

I actually, am not very satisfied. I want to be taller, but sometimes I wanna be shorter. I'm the tallest one of my friends, so it's not very fun, because it's awkward to tower over your friends. I wanna be taller because it would really help me with my sports and stuff. As for my weight, I eat a lot, but I don't gain weight. I do have muscle, well leg muscle. I barely have any arm muscles. For some reason, sometimes I think I'm too heavy. My parents actually that I was overweight for my height&age xD

* How does it affect you?

Well, it doesn't affect me at all really.

 

[x/C.h.e.l.l.e-<3]

* How much do you weigh?

Around 145-150 lbs. It varies. But thats how much I usually weigh.

* How does it correspond to your height? Age?

I've always thought I was 5''9, but I measured myself at the Doctors, and I'm actually 5''8. Yet One of my Mom's old Friends looks like she's 6'ft, and I'm talller than her. Yet I went to the doctors and I'm 5''8. But I feel like I'm 5''9.

* What's your Body Mass Index (BMI)?

Well according to some website, my BMI is 22.3

* Clothing size?

In Pants, I wear a Size 11-12 Ladies. Or something like that. For Shirts, Large-1 Extra Large. I usually wear my Mom's shirts. In Bra's, I'm a 36-38 B. Even Though I feel like an "A". But They're Growing!

* How do you feel about it?

I hate it. I feel fat, and I always have to suck my stomach in when I wear shirts. I look like I'm pregnant if I don't suck my stomach in. And people around where I live like to talk. All it would take is one person to see me wearing a shirt, and if I never had my stomach sucked in, Pregnancy rumors would fly. Because according to people around where I live, Any girl within ages 13+ who is "Fat" is automatically pregnant. Well if thats the case, I've been "Pregnant" for a few years now. [i'm not, Obviously, I'm just using sarcasm to make a point]

* How does it affect you?

Read the "*How do you feel about it?" thing.

 

[Penguins.]

* How much do you weigh?

Last time I checked, I was about 82 pounds.

* How does it correspond to your height? Age?

Well, I'm fourteen years old. And exactly five feet.

* What's your Body Mass Index (BMI)? (here)

16.0

The website you posted says I'm a healthy weight, but just barely. I'm the healthy cutoff. Most others say I'm underweight.

* Clothing size?

Jeans, pants---a US 00 or 0

A 1 is huge on me. Plus--I would hate being a 1

Shirts--an XS at most stores. A small is almost always too loose for me.

* How do you feel about it?

I like being skinny. I love being skinny. I would hate gaining weight. I just want to be a little taller, then I'd be perfectly happy with my body.

I actually wanna be skinnier. I know that sounds totally unhealthy, but I'm eating fine right now. Well--actually this summer, I've been eating much less, and I have dropped a few pounds. My jeans seems a bit looser, as does this one shirt that used to hug my hips. It's a bit annoying that my favorite shirt is loose, but otherwise, I'm happy.

* How does it affect you?

It doesn't. Not much. Not really.

* How do you feel about it?

I'm fine with it although I can't gain weight so if my weight drops, it's hard to gain it again.

* How does it affect you?

Ehh. I never feel fat but it hurts when people try to tell me I have an eating disorder because thats pretty much the oppisite of me.

* How does it affect you? it makes me really self concious, so i exercise alot and i don't wear tight clothes, lately i have been better at wearing not totally baggy clothes though, and just accepted myself, but i don't just ignore it, i exercise

 

[kk445]

* How much do you weigh? 100 Pounds

* How does it correspond to your height? Age? Well Being 5'6", I'm quite slender. I've always been. I always grow XD, so I just never had time to put on weight. I am 13 years old, 14 in October, so I'm a pretty tall height for my age. I really only get my height from my legs. They are extremely long.

* Clothing size? Jeans: 00 or 0 , Shirts: Small or Extra-Small, Shoes (If you care xD): 9 in US Women's

* How do you feel about it? I love being skinny. I just hate it if my stomach would bulge out or something.. I know that's being selfish, but I would hate it. I just love being able to look good in jeans and stuff. But I do hate my shoe size &gt;.&lt; My feet just look huge compared to my slender body.

* How does it affect you? Well my dad doesn't think I eat enough, but I eat a ton. XD. So it gets annoying with my dad asking me everyday what I eat. Few people think I'm anorexic, but I'm highly afraid of Vomit. I'm just happy I'm skinny. :]

[x.Cant//Knit.x]

* How much do you weigh?

45kg, or 100 lbs. I'm fine with that.

* How does it correspond to your height? Age?

I'm actually not entirely positive on my height at the moment, but it's tall. So maybe around 5'7 or 5'8, something around there. I'm 12. I don't look overly fat or overly skinny so it's fine

* What's your Body Mass Index (BMI)?

15.8. It says it's a normal BMI for my height, weight and age, but doctors have said otherwise. So it's sorta in the middle of healthy weight and underweight.

* Clothing size?

It's 8 in womens, and 14 in childrens/girls. And that's not American sizes.

* How do you feel about it?

I feel perfectly fine about it. Sometimes I wish I was smaller and wasn't as tall, but sometimes I have this crazy ambition to become world's tallest person. 8D

* How does it affect you?

Doesn't really affect me. I'm happy with my body image

* How do you feel about it?

Not happy about it XD Trying to diet and get at least some of it off.

* How does it affect you?

Besides health issues, it doesn't really. I've been "bigger" all my life, so it's not a huge thing. The only difference is this is the biggest I've been.

Horrible. I mean, I'm not fat. Just huge &amp; clunky.

[Tamagirl_Desy]

* How much do you weigh?

It really depends on what I eat and the time of day.

Normally, I am around 95 pounds.

* How does it correspond to your height?

Well, I am about 5'5, maybe a little taller now, not sure

I'm tall and skinny... some people say too skinny, and make fun of me for it.

* What's your Body Mass Index (BMI)?

15.8, which is almost underweight.

* Clothing size?

No idea... I think for pants I am a 0 or a double 0.

* How do you feel about it?

I feel fine about it, just a little insecure when I get made fun of.

* How does it affect you?

Since I'm so tall and skinny, alot of clothes dont fit me.

My body shape is odd, so it's hard to find good-fitting clothes.

And, I'm pretty weak, so exercising and physical activity can be hard for me.
