Am I overweight?

[tifftaff01]

im 5' 8" and around 185 lbs. i dont look fat but when i eat a lot you can see it. its all in my tummy in my opinion. if i am how much weight should i lose?

[Anonymous]

I'm a guy and much taller than you, and you still weight almost the same as I do.
Someone posted a link to the BMI. Note that 25 is the limit for adults. For younger teens it's lower, so if yours is 28 then that's a clear indication that you carry some additional weight with you.

But the most important thing is how you feel and if you are happy. But being at a reasonable weight is better for your health in the long term

[tifftaff01]

but i dont look fat! well not like how im picturing that much fatness in my head

[ThisDudeHere]

Well I'm not Murican so I don't know what those mean but I'm just gonna assume you're fine, dudette. 8)

[tifftaff01]

*giggles* those are some very dangerous assumptions dude lol i do like you're usin the lingo now tho. mad respect for mah brotha 👊🏽

[helloitsmethere]

She is 172 cm tall and 84 kg (or if you are British/Irish/Scottish 13 stone)

[code3]

Yuuuup, I've got the same numbers and that is most definitely overweight. I mean, unless you're jacked or something. I'm dropping 20 lbs to correct the issue. If you wanna go by the BMI chart we should weigh about 150-155 lbs, but screw that thing and all its inaccuracies. That 165 is gonna account for some muscle definition too anyway.

[tifftaff01]

well like all my muscle is in my thighs n calves cuz I've done four years of soccer. its muscle, but fat over it xD like i can do 37 sit ups n 16 crunches but not a single guy pushup

[code3]

That's okay, and in all honesty you could stay this weight forever and be fine. Being technically overweight doesn't mean you're unattractive. Especially when you're this young. I have to lose weight and maintain overall body strength to keep my career, but that's not a common situation by any means. If you want to get stronger and lose weight, do it because you think it would make YOU happier. Okay? :)

[tifftaff01]

okay! thanks :)

[xDocilexFaeriex]

www.rush.edu/.../what-is-a-healthy-weight I'm not sure...
Try this... :)

[tifftaff01]

omg my BMI is 28.1 😱🙁😐

[xDocilexFaeriex]

Exercise/jog. Eat healthy. Don't freak out. Dieting is not always the best solution, especially at your age. If you are self conscious about your appearance... try "babydoll styled" tops! They are flattering and stylish! Rock on girl!!

[tifftaff01]

lol okay i will. thanks ☺️

[xDocilexFaeriex]

Yay! Glad I could help!

[xDocilexFaeriex]

:) thanks for liking my opinion! :D

[tifftaff01]

welcome! i figure we could all use the extra point for leveling up n you were helpful!! i had no clue i was THAT big

[xDocilexFaeriex]

:/ Now you know... but... All I know is baby doll tops will be your BFF ooh and those look great with skinny jeans!!

[tifftaff01]

omg good!! i have a Tommy Hilfiger pair of skinny jeans i surprisingly look good in lol

[xDocilexFaeriex]

Yay!! The trick is... these tops emphasize your breasts, and hide your stomach with a beautiful flaire!!

[tifftaff01]

ohhhhh lol well thatd be great then xD

[xDocilexFaeriex]

Ooh or dresses cut in a similar way! Really random... but one day I actually want to be a teen counselor/ middle school and help them with self esteem... so this is cool for me!

[tifftaff01]

oh cool! well you're doin great thus far with me

[xDocilexFaeriex]

Awesome!! Remember... even if you don't fit the media's standard of beauty... that's ok! You are beautiful in you're own way! I'm actually into the alternative scene and have 3 tats and 10 piercings! I dress goth or funky most the time... and embrace who I really am... despite the media!

[tifftaff01]

oh thats cool! i dont have either of those lol not even my ears xD

[xDocilexFaeriex]

Thanks hehehe... my point I guess is that because I look quite unique, myself... I can emphasize with anyone who feels different or out of place :) And... if you want any... lol wait until you know exactly what you want! :))

[tifftaff01]

i am! those things are basically permanent so ill be careful. thanks!

[xDocilexFaeriex]

Cool!! I have a seashell, garter with flowers AND a memorial piece with a ribbon, butterfly and flowers! :)

[tifftaff01]

wowww those mustve hurt!

[xDocilexFaeriex]

Ohhh yeah!!! Muscle=constant pain, bone=sharp pain, fat=dull pain

[tifftaff01]

oh so it still hurts? :/

[xDocilexFaeriex]

No, no... hehehe... only when I got them/a few days-a week after :)

[Jxpxtxr]

At that weight you're most definitely overweight.
Most grown men are even lighter than that I think, so yeah I'd suggest you eat less & start exercising

[tifftaff01]

i am! crunches n situps n cutting out as many snacks n sweets as i can with like possibly one day where i can eat whatever. i probably won't do that tho cuz i fall into routine pretty easily. but thanks!

[IsabellaCarlos]

You're just fine as long as you're eating healthy and exercising don't care about the scale (unless you're overweight and are bout to die which you're not)
:D

[tifftaff01]

omg lol thanks!

[helloitsmethere]

You are a bit overweight... but as long as you don't have any conditions that your weight is affecting then I guess you are fine.

[tifftaff01]

no im perfectly healthy! well other than my weight lol

[fenixx0083]

*cries of he wants to*

[tifftaff01]

wow. classy 👏🏽

[cherrybaubles]

I don't think any of us could REALLY give you an accurate response. I think the best way for you to find out is by visiting your doc.

[tifftaff01]

yeah ill try to remember to ask next time i go. we dont really have a family doctor cuz we have TriCare so we get a different pediatrician every time

[cherrybaubles]

Oh I see.. I can see how that could make it harder for you. Next time you go in, tell your pediatrician your concerns about your health and ask her how you can follow up with them. Also.. I see someone posted something about a BMI... It's important to know that your BMI doesn't determine whether you are healthy or not. So much goes into play like cholesterol, blood pressure, vitamin/mineral intake, etc. YouR BMI and how you might look and weigh doesn't determine any of that. That's why I recommend an opinion from your doc. AND you're 15. You're still going through puberty and your body's still changing.

However in the meantime, whether you're "big" or not, it doesn't hurt to eat nutrient rich foods and exercise maybe 2-3 days out of the week (: you might drop some weight but I can guarantee you'll feel great. Good luck <3

[tifftaff01]

thank you :)

[vnmc5]

Dafuq I am a guy with a good build and I am 180 lbs at 5'10

[tifftaff01]

with all due respect im a 15 year old girl, not a 21 year old man. im pretty sure that changes things

[vnmc5]

Yeah but I am 23 by the way and men are naturally heavier than women u must be endomorphic then if u don't look fat like Kim k or Jennifer lopez

[tifftaff01]

whats endomorphic? 😅

[vnmc5]

Body is generally bigger for women, the 2 I gave for men Gerard Butler and Nathan fillion look up body types on Google

[tifftaff01]

yeah i think i am endomorphic. does that mean i should do different things to lose weight? it says endomorphs have slow metabolisms

[vnmc5]

Yeah, u have to look it up though

[Anonymous]

Yes, your overweight. Your bmi is 28,1 your really to be obese. You should weight 135 lbs to be healthy.

[tifftaff01]

[Opinion Owner]

You maybe don't look 50 pounds overweight but you need to lose it

[tifftaff01]

[Opinion Owner]

[BellePepper]

Talk to your doctor about it.

[tifftaff01]

lol we dont really have a doctor. we're a military family so we get a different doctor everytime. i could ask whenever we get around to their neck of the woods tho i guess

[BellePepper]

You have like the BEST insurance in the country. There's no reason to not bring it up.

[tifftaff01]
