I feel like a weigh more than I look like I do. Is this normal?

[MissBoopa]

Hello!

First off, I would like to say that I am very comfortable with my body. I like the size that I am, and I don't really care about the weight that I am. However, I did think that it was strange that my weight is more than I think I look.

I am 15, 5'6, and I weigh 132.8 pounds. (Just weighed myself for accuracy) I've looked it up, and it is average for a girl my height and age. However, it seems like a lot of the girls around me are taller and look around my size (weight-wise) and weigh the same as or less than me. I would think that the height would increase their weight? Also, girls that are just a few inches shorter than me look as thick/thin as I do but weigh only around 105-120 lbs.

Is this normal?

Also, if you need a picture to see my size, it is me in my profile picture.

(Sorry if this was in any way confusing. I tried to make it as simple as possible)
Thanks for any responses!

Yes, it is normal

Also, do you think I look like my weight? Do I look thicker or thinner?

I appreciate honesty and all responses! Thanks again!

based on your picture you look great. your weight and height are perfectly normal.
is it normal to feel like you weigh more than you do? I don't know if it's normal I haven't really heard anyone else say something similar

Thank you. :) I guess I was just comparing myself to other people who weighed less than me, but looked pretty much the same as me. So I was just curious. Thanks again for the response!

It seems to be bone weight. Bone weight is a good thing. Your obviously far from being called "unfit". You shouldn't worry much about it :)

Yeah defiinitely.. Muscle weighs much more than fat, so if you're more muscularly built you can weigh more than someone with greater body fat percentage that looks to have similar proportions as you.

[MissBoopa]

Okay! Thank you, that makes a lot of sense! I'm surprised I didn't think of that. :) Thanks again!

No prob :)

Yeah, muscle weighs more than fat. For example, my aunt has been working out and her body fat percentage is less but she weighs more because of how much muscle weighs.

You look good and you are normal. You are most likely muscluar. People tell me I look less than I actually weigh.

by the way you look slim. I think that looks better than thick and skinny.
