meh, i guess im officially declared underweight by a little bit. bmi is 18.3... so by liek .2 XD
 
I'm 102 pounds and I'm 5'7"
You could say I'm underweight with my BMI being 16.6 but I'm small-boned anyway.
 
i know for sure that my weight is average but I don't know the exact number on the scale cuz i haven't check on those
 
I don't actually know what the average weight for me is...no, seriously..

I'm like, 80 pounds or something, and I'm around 4.7-9-ish. So, yeah.

Your BMI appears to be around 18.5 which is probably a bit on the skinny side considering your height. (Bearing in mind that a short person with a very low BMI looks more skeletal than a tall person with the same BMI. Also bearing in mind a short person with a high BMI will not look quite as obese as a tall person with the same BMI.)

However you are only 11 years old and people your age are supposed have lower BMIs than adults so I've come to the conclusion you're around average but slim-looking.
 
I'm slightly underweight for my height

For my age, I'd say I'm slightly overweight b/c I'm 5'10
 
I think I am some what normal. I am 125 lbs which makes me good to give blood but I am really skinny so I think I could be under weigh. Still yeah. Skinny.
 
Haha. I eat way to much but I never really gain any weight unless I like...Eat like an effing pig, then sit on the computer for 4 days straight, lol. If I wanna loose weight, and I do, (90 pounds here I come) I pretty much just...Starve myself/eat very little/play my sports as hard as possible. I'm not into the whole 'change my diet' 'excersize on purpose', I think it's embaressing, so I just tape the fridge shut (lol) & lock myself in a room doing jumping jacks 'till I loose 5 pounds. xD
The only reason I feel compelled to loose a single pound is for appeal, and I figure skate, so I pretty much have to look skinny as hell. xD

I wish I could give blood. Don't you have to be 50kg/110lbs? I feel so guilty...

Look, your weight is fine. It's such a shame you're depressed about it. People who have average weights are far more attractive.

The same goes for you as well.
Jesus, you're all making me cry :(
Listen, please don't starve yourself, you have no idea what it's like! I've been through it and it's awful. At first you feel alright and once you find you've lost some weight you think "I could do with losing just a bit more" and then once you've lost another 10 pounds you look at yourself in the mirror and think "still not thin enough" and you just keep on going until you're dangerously thin and hospitalized. You become sicker and sicker. By the time you get so thin you need help, your body is already shutting down on you.

You become obsessed and you never recover physically even if you recover mentally. It's an addiction that ruins your life.

This is what happens when you become obsessed with losing weight (WARNING: some people may find these commercials disturbing).

This is no joke. Just stop starving yourselves now before it's too late. You really don't know what you have in store for you if you don't stop. The more weight you lose the less likely you are to want to stop.

You really don't want this fate, I tell you.
Just please don't let yourself get into that frame of mind, there's no need. I'm begging you :'(

wow... that was depressing... raichuchika, you better watch those vids.
 
Um..yeah. Some people might take their weight too seriously, but there's only so much everyone here can say to them to convince them that their weight is fine; Raichuchika in particular. It's..almost depressing to hear how she thinks of herself when in reality, if anything, she's actually underweight =/

Those anorexia vids. might be taking things..a bit too far, though. I mean, yeah, it's a reality that some people might actually see themselves that way, but just showing people disturbing vids of others ruining their bodies over an eating disorder doesn't really help on your own =/

But still, theirs no need to ever see youself that way. Personally, I think being slightly overweight is more attractive than..that.
 
My weight's been fluctuating all over the place over the last few months. x_o; I've stopped taking a certain medication, so now everything's evening out and it would become steady, but I'm in university and currently fighting off the "Freshman Fifteen." XD I'm not eating too healthily, and while I am changing that, sometimes it shows. But other days it doesn't.

o_O; I dunno. I'm about five feet and I'm usually between 115 ~ 120 lbs. So long story short, I guess I'm average? XD
 
I've seen plenty of videos on Anorexia; even a whole medical documentery about it. But I know that skeletal girls are not sexy, and that average is much more attractive that a skeletan. I find it okay for me to starve myself, because I have a pretty stable frame of mind about my image and I've done it before, so I feel like I can trust my ability to judge when to stop. I know starving yourself is unhealthy, but publically trying to loose weight seems to embaressing to me.

i watched those video's. its a little depressing, it reminds me a bit of me. i wish i could stop. i really wish. but i feel sick whenever i put food in my mouth.

im not anorexic. not bulimedic. (in fact, i lyke, NEVER throw up, even when i try) in fact, im kinda flubbery. swim class is humiliating. lucky me i dont take it in 8th grade. but in last year's swim class, i was boarderline, tears. i wasnt the only 1 of the girls, the girls were embarrased to come out of the locker room, or at least most of them. i doubt this year will b ne different.

anorexic doesn refer to your size, it refers to whether or not yu eat. and what do you mean "flubbery"?
 
again, look at me in a bikini (not that u can) u have 2 suck in 2 look decent.

guess i am partially anerexic, sumtimes i dont eat hardly at all. (last summer, i consumed an average of 300 colories a day)
