Am I normal weight? I'm from the USA btw, we aren't all fat haha.
I'm about 6'0 or 6'1, I'm 14, I weigh like 131 LB's. I think its normal weight? I could be like 140 or 145 but I run and sweat it off too fast lol
i just used a BMI (body mass index) calculator on the weight and height that you said above, and ur BMI is 17.8
* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
Hope this helps ;)

erm, your underweight according to the BMI, but it depends on how you are built.

BMI isnt the best way of doing it. Look at your self: if you look overweight, then your overweight.
When I got my BMI done at school I got something like 10.5, thats under weight but I am no way under weight.

10.5 is very low... Mine's 14.6, and I know I'm underweight, but I've been ill, so I'm working to put it back on. They keep track of it at the hospital.

I am about 13.6 now when I last got it done, I am no way under weight. It depends on your build tbh, I am very tall
Them online ones I dont think are totaly correct, some of them dont even ask for your age that is required.

If you're tall, you should be heavier. If you're short, you should be lighter... Your age doesn't matter, if you're 13 and 150cm, you should weigh the same as someone who's 60 and 150cm.
The forumla is weight divided by height squared.

I just worked mine out on a calculator and got 14.59...
You could find a weight chart and find your weight to height percentage to find out. Anything below 80% is underweight.

that's gotta be wrong. 10.5 and i think you'd be in hospital or dead.

If you're suggesting I'm overweight because I see being underweight is dangerous, then you're clearly wrong.
Being underweight is VERY dangerous, and if you are so badly underweight, you can die.

I am from the UK but still. I am podgey and when I went to the doctor he said i was under weight LOL. Then he goes "just goes to show how stupid these computers are". Id say stay the way you are now. If unsure ask your doctor...
