I am 145 pounds... Am I unhealthy?

[Anonymous]

Due to genetics, all of my weight goes to my bottom and my thighs. I jog everyday, eat super healthy. Obesity runs in my family and I actually am the smallest. 5'3 tall. I'm 17.

Yes

No

You weigh about as much as I average - I am a bit taller than you and slender (the women in my life seek to fatten me; yet do I defy them). I was heavier set in my early teens, burned this off by running cross country (there was a wave pattern to my weight as fat and muscle increased and decreased in the sport season cycle), and have kept it off by essentially hauling ass everywhere. I go everywhere I can by bicycle and push it; my stride is deliberate, I run staircases skipping steps both up and down. Besides that, I drink a lot of coffee and eat mostly canned fruit, vegetables and fish.

Just try to keep light enough that most guys can carry you and strong enough that you can carry most guys.

Like everyone else says, it depends. The BMI calculator isn't accurate. I weigh 175 at 5'11 around 10% body fat and the BMI calculator says I'm borderline overweight and normal weight which I'm not overweight lol. The mirror never lies so if you look good in the mirror, weight doesn't matter. Muscle weighs more than fat.

You're definitely not unhealthy if you exercise daily and eat well. And belly fat is technically what is considered unhealthiest.

Also, it depends on whether you're comprised of muscle or fat. If you're toned and fit then 145 lbs. won't look "unhealthy". However if you're flabby or untoned then 145 lbs. is chubby for a person your height.

What you can see and what is actually happening is way different. I know someone who eats a whole lot a bad food and she is skinny as a twig, she needs to go on a diet because her heart is taking on too much sugar.

it really depends on your BMI. i can't just say yes or no to 145 LBS standing at 5'3.

According to a BMI calculator, you're just barely overweight. In other words, you're healthy as long as you continue to take care of yourself the way you do.

[Patrick453]

no, considering your age, you are at a healthy weight, i'm a guy and i weigh 160 pounds and i am 16, but its normal for a guy to weigh more than a girl

[jointhepatriarchy]

Well muscle weighs more than fat so I don't know. You could be kind of thick. You could just be fit and curvy. Or somewhere in the middle.

[RaeBae]

Nope. You probably still got curves and stuff

[itlana]

if your body is porportioned right then your fine

[StickStickity13]

You could lose some weight

[tugazorean]

it depends

[Asker]

On what?

[tugazorean]

Well, maybe you have big t*ts or a big ass, or big legs.. you know maybe it's not on your belly. You don't seem obese although. Maybe go to gym for 2 months and eat healthy food, you'll be okay
