I'm a 17-year-old girl, 5'4, and I weigh 135 lbs. Am I fat?

o dear gawd ur like hugely fat...jk

I highly doubt that. It sounds like you are in a healthy weight. If you are worried about your waist line than make sure you are active around three days a week for at least 30 minutes. Taking up a sport is good.

If you are already doing this or something similar, perhaps your diet is irregular. In that case, ALWAYS consume something for breakfast. If you don't have time, grab a pop-tart and eat it on the way to where ever you need to be. Breakfast is essential to keep a good amount of energy throughout the day and to help you body wake up and start eating up those calories by digesting food. Lunch is as important as breakfast, but unlike how most American's think, dinner is often overdone. If you eat your dinner like you would eat lunch, than it's okay. Try to get a healthy balance for all three of your meals and if you are hungry snack a little bit in between, but eating too much food at one time (like at dinner time) can be your downfall. Not eating will only make you crave food, thus it's not a good life style to have.

If you are doing these things properly and you still don't get down to the look you want, then it could be one of two things. Since you are young still, some bodies take longer than others to loose their baby fat. Wait out for a few years to see what happens. If nothing happens and your life style is still fine, see a doctor. If you can't keep your weight in check and it bounces back and forth, it may have something to do with your thyroid.

In any case, from the information provided, you seem to be a healthy weight. Don't let this get to you too bad. It's not good for your emotions or your self-esteem. It's always good to have a bit of meat on your bones anyways. For a girl to be soft, a bit of fat is needed on your tummy. It makes you more huggable.

Your body/mass index is 23.2 which puts you in the normal range. It seems to me that you are doing quite well. If you want to do the calculation yourself go to the following site:

It seems to me that you should be very happy with your weight. I am on the high end of normal also but I have a tummy and love handles. I know I would look better if I shed about 10 pounds of that mass but I'm still happy with myself - especially when I'm around most men my age. Almost all of them seem to have really ballooned up through time. My high school weight was 160 and now at age 70 I'm at 175. If it is safe for you to walk where you live, no matter how young you might be - I recommend a regular schedule of brisk walking to tone up a bit.

My grandfather lived to age 99 and would have lived longer had he really wanted to. His secret to longevity was, "Clean mind - healthy body. Take your pick!" LOL

No, it depends on wether you have a thick bone structure and if your athletic. If you are athletic, then most your weight is your muscle, and not fat. It also depends on how you digest your food. It is only logical if one has a thick bone structure , are athletic and digest slowly that one will be heavyer then avrage.

Oh, sweetie you are not fat at all. I know little girls that weigh 141 pounds and 4'10. Just excersize and you'll be just fine.

Definitely not. You are just about the average weight. And anyway, I know this sounds cliche (and i know saying it sounds cliche sounds cliche), but I'm sure you're beautiful :)

A little. That's how tall and how much i weigh and sometimes I think im a little chubby. but im a totally healthy person, i just got a little extra baggage on my thighs. You could have an extra 20 pounds on you and you wouldn't look fat if your weight was evenly distributed. I don't really know enough about you body type to know if you're fat. Just work on being healthy and a good body always follows.
