Am I overweight?

Question

I'm 15, 170cm tall and 60kg in weight. 
I'm a size 14 in tops and pants, 14-16C bust (almost a D), I only eat dinner (I'm not allowed to eat breakfast or lunch) and I walk to and from school everyday, as well as a two-hour walk (mostly uphill) most weekends to get to my boyfriends house. I have really chubby arms, legs, belly, hips, bum, etc, and I just feel so fat compared to all the tiny skinny girls at school. My sister amd stepdad often tease me about my weight and appearance, and I feel so gross. 
Anyway, from what I described, do I sound overweight?

hey aussie=]

u sound similar to my sister actually.

u aren't allowed to eat breakfast or lunch? HUGE question marks there...

im gonna say this. ur not the skinniest girl for ur age. but tell me why u should care. did u know that when ur older, ur figure will continue to develop in its womanly form and who knows what you'll end up with.

when i was in high school, i was always teased for having a fat bum and fat legs. they said 'its so weird how ur small from the top and fat from the bottom!' then as i grew older i realised that this actually happens to b a figure men love, and I'm indeed proud to have it.

being skinny isn't pretty. being HEALTHY and STRONG is pretty. as long as u care about ur health, it doesn't matter how u look compared to others girl. ur beautiful :)

You are absolutely not overweight!!! It sounds like you are just well developed compared to the other girls. That's all. Why aren't you eating breakfast or lunch? that's just ridiculous. You should be eating small amounts often throughout the day otherwise you are going to feel tired and bloated. Your body needs fuel, otherwise it doesn't work properly and you will feel awful.

You're at a normal weight for your height. So in that regard you sound just fine. It's not good to eat only one meal though, how can you possibly get in enough calories like that? Why are you not allowed to eat other meals?
Family can cruel like that sometimes. Have you told them or your mom that it honestly bothers you?

Well if you have extra fat on your body the fact you only eat once a day might be the problem. Your body is going "food is scarce! save as much as you can!!!" thus the extra fat. Keep in mind that having no fat is NOT healthy. You need to find a regular exercise (other than walking to school) that you can do to keep your muscles fit. Also if it's really a big deal talk to a nutritionist about a healthy size for you. People focus too often on poundage and you're left with skin n bone. While some find holocaust victims sexy they are no fun to cuddle with. You're just hugging bone. Good luck at finding a healthy lifestyle.

So you are 5'7" and 132 lbs in imperial

according to the BMI chart,
cancer.org/.../139185-1.gif

you are at around 20.6 which is perfectly healthy

Congratulations! You are not overweight. In fact, you are healthy, and probably all the tiny skinny girls at school are clinically underweight. Enjoy life!

Australian size clothes must be a lot different. It's hard to know or not, but 5'7 and 132 doesn't sound overweight at all. A friend of mine is 5'8 and 129 and she she looks too thin. So it can't be that big of difference. I guess it depends on how you carry fat too though. I wonder why you can only eat dinner though.

No you are not overweight but you have baby fat in your body and skin.

From the description you mentioned about your physical activity , it fulfil your requirements.

Dont skip breakfast and lunch , eat clean do not fast , it won't help you in getting lean muscle.
For that you will have you work out.

Eat a lot of fruit and vegetables , fruit juice , yoghurt , clean protein.

Low carbs diet and avoid fried items and junk food.

why aren't you allowed to eat breakfast and lunch?
if you want, i believe that you can report it to the government.
they may say that your asshole of a parent may be unfit to be a parent and so you don't have to worry about going back to them, you may be able to stay in foster care if you live with abusive family members.

I don't think you sound fat, because you're 5 foot 5 and around 130 pounds and thats not bad. Why don't you eat breakfast and Lunch? You really should eat more often, its not good to eat once a day. If you are that worried about your weight start participating in sports

You are not overweight. Sounds like your sister and stepdad are bullies/abusive. You should find a support group or speak to a therapist if you feel like their abusiveness/bullying has affected you psychologically.

No, you are not overweight at all. You can still be a little cubby, but you are not overweight, or need to lose at all. :)
