108 lbs... really heavy, normal, or light?

[Anonymous]

I lost weight!! Is this still a lot though? Or average for a teen?

[Askinganyone]

Too light. Especially since you're still a teen. These are the years most important to you. Loosing too much weight can add problems to your health later on in life. You're still young, your metabolism should still be working pretty well, don't try to lose more weight. Sometimes a person just has big or heavier bones. You can eat less carbs, replace them with fresh vegetables and proteins to build a healthier frame. Do build a healthier relationship with food. Hope this helps

[crystalt70]

I am 5 ft tall with curves. At 101, I looked anorexic. I was perfect at 115. That was before having kids. My chest is bigger. My hips are bigger. 115 would be too thin for me now. It all depends on your height, shape, chest size, etc. Some women lose their boobs when they lose weight. I don't. What works for one woman in weight may be wrong for another. You have to find the perfect balance for yourself and be happy with it. Don't make drastic body changes for anyone else.

My medical records are the only way Im basing it off of. At the start of LAST years school year in August (2013) , I was 126. This years school year (August 2014) I dont know how much i was, but since Im a teen, i probably gained maybe 10 lbs in a year. Now I'm 108. But it still seems like a lot

[Jipblue5]

Hi! Yes 108 lbs is very thin for someone who is not petite. I'm 5'2 so from that I would be ok. So at 5" you should be 100lbs then every inch after that you add 5 lbs more or less depending on height. So for you to be healthy you should be at 130lbs. But if you want to make sure that your health is ok I would check with a dr asap. But it also depends on other factors like dies and exercise and genes.

[Asker]

I lost about 30 lbs in four months. I dont excercise much. I just eat one meal a day. But I still want to loose more

[Kabloosh75]

It's fine if you're like 5'2. It's not so fine if you're like 5'6 or above. It all depends on your height.

A good gauge is look in the mirror naked. If you see your rib cage while standing normally with your arms to your side then you need to gain weight.

[BertMacklinFBI]

fucking 108 at 5'6. y'all need to start getting educated on physical health and nutrition.

you are underweight to me. heavy? was that really a consideration?

[BellePepper]

You're underweight. Please take better care of yourself.

[xXiTacoXx]

It all depend on your height. It can be under weight if you're tall, but if you're like my height or something which is 5'1" it's a good healthy weight.

[Asker]

Im 5'6" about. I just turned 18

[xXiTacoXx]

www.rush.edu/.../what-is-a-healthy-weight You're a bit underweight, but it's by like 10 lbs.

[Asker]

Well I've lost about 30 lbs, maybe a little less.

[Moore_xoxo]

Idiotic question fishing for answers.
Don't ask questions that you know the answer to.

Just use google if you are actually curious.

I honestly think the BMI scaling is total bullshit.

[akadatank44]

Haha right? Guys who have little fat on them but are heavy because of muscle like players in the NFL have high BMIs. It is bs

[DodgersGM]

It depends on your height and your body structure, but typically, 108 is quite petite. Be careful to not lose too much and be sure to nourish your body. :)

[misupanda]

Underweight.

www.nhlbi.nih.gov/.../bmicalc.htm

[Ryosanada]

For 5'6" that's really good. Pics usually help too.

[ShaeNielson]

Yea if being underweight is really good, then she is great.

[Ryosanada]

@ShaeNielson I didn't look up the bmi for her height and age.

People can list all the stats y'all want. They're just numbers. They don't show how you look, nor if its good fat/muscle or just bad fat.

[Asker]

So if it hurts to lay on my side in bed because my hips stick out, is that bad?

[Ryosanada]

Very bad. You need to gain weight. The human body isn't ment to be skin and bones.

[Asker]

But why is it bad?

[Ryosanada]

You're in pain. Is pain good or bad? You can pm me if you want so we can talk about it more detailed.

[ChaosKilledTheDinos]

Depends on your height but seems pretty healthy nearing on the thin side

[Asker]

Im a little over 5'6"

[ChaosKilledTheDinos]

108 sounds a bit light for your heights but we all have different body types that the weight may work for. If you are healthy I don't think the number matters as much. If you're unsure you can talk to a doctor about it?

[lePoivre]

You're on the underweight side. Of course, it also depends on how tall you are, but for most women you should be trying to keep your weight above 110.

[523206720]

It depends on your height. Without knowing how tall you are I can't answer that question.

[Asker]

Im around 5'6"

[523206720]

then you are thin. 108 would be normal for somebody who is 5"0 - 5"2

[Octavion]

Unless you're a midget you are way skinny at 108lb.

[Asker]

Im mediumish height to slightly tall. About 5'6"

[Octavion]

You're definitely light. Be happy with it.

[Stacyzee]

I need to know your height to know what a suitable weight would be.

[Asker]

Im about 5'6" maybe a little taller

[Stacyzee]

Yes, that's too thin for your height.
I'm that height and 120 and I'm considered normal with my bmi but on the lighter side

[Asker]

Hmmm i still want to loose weight. Bad idea?

[Stacyzee]

Yes.
You're fine.
Don't let this become an obsession this could be leading to a eating disorder (anorexia)

[Asker]

Well in about four months, I've lost about 30 lbs. Is that a lot? I want to loose just a bit more

[Bi_Guy]

108 is way too light for my liking.

But it is not unhealthy depending on how tall you are.

Do you like it? Be comfortable in your own skin and be what you want to be not what you think others want you to be.

[sean1234]

You're a featherweight if you're only 108lbs, but how tall are you.

[Asker]

As of a year ago, a little taller than 5'6".

[sean1234]

LOL!!! How can 108lbs be really heavy? For a second reading you're question I was thinking like, I need to lose 108lbs, am I heavy?

[Asker]

Haha it seems like a lot. I still want to loose more weight. If i lost maybe 8 lbs would that be bad? and why would it be bad? Thats not that much...

[sean1234]

I could have sworn an godmother of mine is about 5'6" and like 120Lbs. She looks fit though. 108lbs is on the thin side, don't lose weight!.

[Illusive_Man]

Kinda light actually.
I can pick you up with one hand lol

[Frost_Byt3]

Your BMI is 17.4 which is underweight. Not terribly underweight, but yes, you are hnderweight

[Mustachekitteh]

You lose any more weight and your going to be unhealthy skinny. Depending on you height.

[Account]

If you're 5'6, then yes, you're probably very light.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

That's not too bad you could gain little and still be alright

[nert73]

If you're 18-24, it's kind of on the light side. If you're closer to my age, that's average.

[I_am_repulsive]

Yeah you're alright; not too skinny, just about the right weight for your height ratio.

[Shaft50]

Before I answer this I need to ask, how are you losing this weight?

[Asker]

I dont have breakfast or lunch. I work out a little. Why?

[JSmuve]

All dependent on height. For someone of 5'6", that's pretty skinny. You must be a twig.

[Asker]

I want to loose more weight. Is that bad?

[JSmuve]

Yes. Yes it is bad.

[Asker]

But why? It can't hurt that much can it?

[JSmuve]

Yes it is bad and you're deluded into thinking otherwise. Everyone on here says it's too light. I don't know what your insecurity is, but it is not healthy. You will look like a starving African kid. I don't imagine that's the look you're going for.

[Asker]

If it hurts to lay on my side in my bed cuz my hips poke out, is that bad?

[Anonymous]

Only a teenage girl would wanna be that tiny. I think you're rather thin.

[Asker]

I dont see whats wrong with it. Whats so bad about loosing a bit more?

[Opinion Owner]

You're under weight sweetheart

[Anonymous]

108 lbs for someone 5'5" is probably normal, for someone 5'10" is probably a bit too skinny, and someone 6'1" is almost dead

Mmk?

[Noboddy]

Healthy weight for your height and age is in the range of 115-130. You are underweight.

[RainbowFanGirl]

That's not fat at all, actually that is kind of underweight.

[akadatank44]

Not heavy you are too thin. You probably are not taking in enough nutrients. You need to eat more.

[douride2]

At 5'6" & 108 lbs I would say your a bit on the light side.

[Redstang88]

Thats very light for 5'6, thats less than half what I weigh and I'm only 2" taller.

[Anonymous]

A 5ft 6 inch female should be between 115 - 154 based on BMI. You're underweight.

[Anonymous]

108? Holy shit girls you're almost obese! Seriously you probably have diabetes, because you're practically an elephant!

[juliasophia716]

depends on your height but that sounds really thin to me

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'2 and 110lb and I'm on the lighter end for my height.

[Anonymous]

108 for a female isn't big and if you think it is you may have anorexia.

[musicbrain5]

That depends on your height. How tall are you?

[Asker]

5'6"

[musicbrain5]

Wow, you're way underweight. Way too much. That is not healthy at all. Someone your height should be like 120-140 lbs to be healthy.

[Asker]

But Im only about 10 lbs underweight. Thats really not that much is it?

[musicbrain5]

Apparently the healthy average weight for your height is 130. Even 120 is still on the low end.

[sammy_31]

Light, thin, under weight

[been_waiting]

You sound pretty thin

[sovetskii13]

On the thin/underweight side.

[Thegoodgirl88]

Depends on your height, I'm 5'8 and 128

[ladymcbeth]

I'm 90 but right at 5 feet. I'm light.

[bryon]

Average would be my call

[warumnicht]

That strikes me as very little.

[warumnicht]

My dear I suggest you discover the joys of nutella. That doesn't sound particularly healthy.

[ImSky]

NUTELLA!!! Yum

[warumnicht]

It's always nice with porridge.

[Anonymous]

depends on yer height basically

[Asker]

Im around 5'6"

[Opinion Owner]

gosh... that's very thin then basiclaly

[maiez]

light, its not too bad, but its light.

[VampireEmpress]

light! you're probably perfect.

[sealteam42]

Depends on your hight really

[lanternhill]

Tiny in my opinion

[Asker]

Really? I think I still have room to loose weight.

[lanternhill]

If you're 5'6" that's underweight I think - depends I guess (how muscular you are etc.) - my former roommate was 5'7" and 120 at maximum and she was tiny.

[Asker]

Im not muscular at all. But im definetly not tiny

[T0ASTERSTR00DLE]

What is your height?

[Asker]

I'm slightly over 5'6"

[T0ASTERSTR00DLE]

Then you have a healthy weight, congratulations :D!!!

[Anonymous]

Height? It depends on how tall you are

[Asker]

5'6"

[Opinion Owner]

www.nhlbi.nih.gov/.../bmicalc.htm

You are underweight (not a good thing) and need to gain 6.5 lbs just to be normal. I suggest gaining weight

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'1 and 108lbs is that over weight?
