15, 5'2, 135 lbs, size 8. Is that fat?

[Rachel_Marie_TheGame]

I'm 15, about 5'2, and weigh about 135 lbs, and wear size 8.

My friends say I look nice and fit, but I don't know..

I'm short and feel like I'm fat. So I've taken up working out twice a day: get up at four to bike, then run and do other weight training activities at night.

I have also cut my calories by decreasing my food intake and sticking to healthy things.

My friends say I push myself too hard.

Yet, I still feel fat.

Any input?

I should also say that I play basketball, and have been working out like this for almost 7 months. I do eat enough and all.

You're too young to be 5'2 and 135. Rather than working out or starving yourself, careful diet modification will help you in the long term. Learn and understand the implications of the foods you eat. You might think you're eating healthy, but maybe you're not. Try to minimize carbs - bread and french fries are terrible for you. Salads, and some fruit like apples will help your metabolism. Eating fat does not make you fat, but sugar will. So try to avoid sugary snacks, drink water instead of something that your body struggles to process. There's lost of information available about what's good for you and what's not, so try to understand that working out will build muscle, but eating the right or wrong things is what makes you who you are.

5'2 and 135lbs? Sounds like my extremely hot friend which I constantly feel like hugging. :D I don't find her fat at all. In fact, I prefer girls like her, over skinny ones who have nothing to grab.

Don't worry about your height and weight. They seem pretty average to me. You're probably on the chubby side, but that doesn't mean you're fat, and it definitely doesn't mean you can't be hot.

Size eight is NOT fat -being a size eight I should know this. XP

In any case, you're far too young to get wrapped up in the whole 'am I thin enough' mentality everyone gets so worked up about. Exercise and healthy eating is great, but it seems to me that your friends are right -youre pushing yourself WAY too hard! You're at a healthy weight right now (remember that muscle weighs more than fat) so there's no point in torturing yourself trying to get that 'ideal' body, especially when you're still growing!

NOW GO EAT SOME CHEESECAKE!

you are not fat.trust me on that. then again really don't look at your weight because muscle weighs more than fat

everyone feels there fat in some way. heck I feel I'm fat,& I'm a swimmer

dont worry about it, if you were lol I would have said something & I'm sure some of these pple would too.

that is a bit too much there, 4 am just to work out, I would sleep.

really don't need to decrease your food intake but agree on the healthy foods, with the calories you are burning your body needs it

[Rachel_Marie_TheGame]

Yeah, I'll probably start eating more. And the four thing, well, I have to be up by 4:30/ 5:00 to get ready for school already, so the extra 15 minute workout just kinda wakes me up. But, if it's really too much, I see nothing wrong with getting extra sleep ;)

You are NOT fat. The average woman in the US is a size 16! Don't push yourself that hard or you could injure yourself. Eat healthy and exercise for healthy amounts. Be sure to eat a sufficient amount of food or you could pass out!

Stay healthy and don't worry about what other people think of you :)

[simran0703]

you are not at all fat but hot. Who would like a girl who is skinny? If the weight is symmetrically distributed, it makes you sexy. So don't worry.

First of all you are not fat you are average for your age and height. I think it is great that you are exercising daily,but make sure you are not pushing your body to hard.Cutting down how many calories you eat is good if you want to get healthy, just make sure your not starving yourself. Remember you want to be healthy not just skinny.

That's not too bad. But you defnitely don't need to be working out twice a day, That's a bit to much
