Is 5'7 and 136 lbs too fat for a 17 year old girl?

[BrianaNobleton]

i'm just curious. i used to weigh 170 lbs but don't eat so much anymore. you can tell me the truth by the way i won't get offended

yes

no

[redeyemindtricks]

No, but, now I'm curious and perhaps worried about "I don't eat so much anymore." What's that all about?

If 136lbs is the nadir that you've reached after a big weight loss, then you probably won't stay there. Even when people do successfully lose weight and keep it off, they usually undershoot their eventual end-weight and then slowly creep back up to it.

Oh pick me!

You should consult a doctor. Remember proper diet, eating healthy not just less, and exercise is vital to remaining healthy. Which is far more important than the number on the scale.

It's not fat to me. That seems like a healthy weight, although your body type and activity will also play a part.

[GlennStorm]

Definitely not. I was actually looking at a database of heights and weights of military personnel the other day. Looking at it again, for a 5'7 female you are gonna be 130-160lbs typically, with a waist between 27-30".
Of course as others say, it depends on how your weight is distributed, but I'm betting you would be looking pretty good :)

I would need to see a picture to tell. I'm not good woth girls weights. But I think that my night be too thin not too fat

[Lolomon]

I'm 5'7. It all depends on how you carry the weight. Some people carry it on top, some just on the bottom, some it's evenly dispersed. But no, 137 would make you pretty slim

[RomansToPhilemon]

Congratulations on the weight loss! And I don't know about the height and weight thing. A picture of you would be best. 136 sounds fine though, but maybe not?

[AWiserFool]

No, 5'7 is pretty tall and you generally add 5-10lbs per inch of height. I'd ask what you bust and hip measurments are, but that's not what you are asking here. It is all about proportion.

[bryon]

That sounds like a very healthy weight to height ratio

[Anonymous]

According to the height and weight you gave, your BMI (Body Mass Index) shows that you have approximately 20-22% body fat, which falls within the Healthy and/or Normal range.

[Lynda_The_Devil]

Don't worry what others think. You are an individual so be happy. Try and live healthy and your body will always respond.

[meatballs21]

That's a little on the slim side for that height. I think you'll be fine.

[coolbreeze2]

no i don't think so, that is just under 10 stone, sounds not too bad, perhaps slightly over but 5 7 isn't short

[Anonymous]

I was the same weight and height at that age. You're not fat at all.

[Polocrew]

Depends on how much muscles you holding but doesn't sound like it

[Anonymous]

Sounds good for your height now but 170 was to much before

[Possible_Mate]

i'm about the same :)

[Thatweirdone_]

I'm 5'7 and weigh way more than you

[BertMacklinFBI]

sounds normal d00d

[Cmasterson]

No, i think it sounds about right.

[NerdInDenial]

It depends on how much body fat you really have

[Ihav2fart]

Naa, you're not too big

[Iron_Man]

Sounds good but it depends how big your bones are
