That height / weight is not abnormal at all. Now 112 would be a bit scary, but depending on your frame I would think 125-145 should be fine for an active/healthy teen.
I was close to you in HS. 5' 6" and 125 lbs. and played many sports. No need to worry if you don't play sports, just try to stay active.
You are fine. No need to worry so much!
I was a scrawny young guy, but now I'm older and I see lots of men my age with more belly than is good for them. Meanwhile when I go for a checkup my doctor says "How do you keep the weight off?" So you may get the last laugh.
who ever thought it would be so hard to gain weight. wow
It can be really hard to make yourself eat when you don't have the appetite for it. I hate to be wasteful so I will sometimes eat what's left on my plate even when I don't want anymore, and it makes me gag. When your brain says "no more", it can be hard to battle it.
Just kidding...if it's who you are...then it's who you are
Seriously, your dimensions make you seem like you might be a little on the skinny side, so I think you should educate yourself on proper nutrition- eating the right foods- so that you can gain weight. Also, start working out regularly and focus mostly on weights and less on cardio. That should help you.
I just wanted to know if i was skinny and if i should put on some weight. doctors have told me i should, so im guessing yes. I'm 15, 5"9' and i weigh 126 right now. I got down to 112 lbs and the highest i got was 142. where's a decent spot?
I do like to wear skinnier clothes..AE, gap, hot topic. so what would a girl think of that.
also, im emo, but im not really suicidal anymore. random girls have come up to me and said i was hot, but it's kind of random, and i don't like it too much. No, i am not gay.
Should i try to tone down on caring about what i look like so much, or just ignore them. sorry, lots of questions. just wanted to know what people think.
I'm 5'9 and 114 lbs. My weight doesn't shift like yours does, I'm just skinny. My doctor never said anything about my weight though, probably because my weight doesn't seem to yoyo like yours does.
O_o Oh wait you're a guy? Yeah, you're skinny. Gain some muscle...
Our oldest son is on the skinny side of the spectrum. I worried over him quite a bit but our doctor has assured us he's fine. He has a huge appetite but he's extremely physically active so he burns a ton of calories every day.
OP - I'd trust your doctor, but also listen to your body. If your not hungry, don't feel like you have to eat. If you are hungry, eat.
But certainly do not starve yourself and don't try to lose weight. You don't want to end up with liver or kidney problems or fragile bones that break easily or excess body hair that can be kind of gross (it happens to people who diet too much or have too low a body weight/too low body fat). You shouldn't have to make your body ill in order to wear the clothes you like to wear. That's ridiculous.
