Question:

I am 13. I weight 162. I am 5'6. My stomach is flat and I look thin. I do have a butt and stuff. But why do I weight so much. Is it musel? I play volleyball and I run sometimes. I also play basketball when I am bored. I wear size 10 in juniors also. and Medium shirts. Do you think Im fine? Because when I do those BMI things it says I am at risk of being overweight but my mom says it is musel!

Answers:
you are NOT overweight. You sound just about right to me. I think your mom is right, its muscle. Muscle weighs more then fat. Don't worry about your weight, just keep up all the exercise and enjoy your life.

im 13 and im built. i only weigh 117

i dont think u fine. depends on your bone structure and muscle mass. If you are extreamly active dont worry about it you will have a growth spurt and will strech out more and will find yourself looking much thinner. remember muscle weights more than fat!!

You must have a large frame, but with a gifted rack and much junk in the trunk.

Try a little more aerobic exercises, but don't worry about it much..

i am 12 5"3 and weigh 82 pounds brown wit blonde highlights and feel bad cause people say i am just made of bones no fat!i would feel good if i was 162 ,but maybe u need to lose a few pounds!not to be mean though. You are ok. you do have more muscle than you body type so naturaly you will weigh more

r u kiddin me!? i wish i had a figure lik that! but honestly america's perception of overweight and underweight is a misconception cuz if ur 10% more or less than average weight 4 age and height ur either overweight or under weight and @ 20% ur obese or anorexic or sumthing so if ur suppose 2 b 150 and ur 175 a measly 15 pounds over board than ur fat.. not true.. as long as ur comforatable w/ how u look(which u shud b as it sounds) thats all that matters 4 get the BMI and listen 2 ur mom she does know best

YOU MAY BE "BIG BONED".THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY UNATTRACTIVE.IF YOUR ATHLETIC/ACTIVE YOU MAY BE MORE MUSCULAR.MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT.IF YOU HAVE A FLAT STOMACH AND LOOK THIN IT APPEARS THINGS ARE NORMAL.WHAT DOES YOUR DOCTOR THINK? YOUR ONLY 13,STAY ACTIVE,QUIT WORRYING AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE.YOUR PARENTS WOULD SENSE ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN YOUR HEALTH AND DIRECT YOU TO WHATEVER PROFESSIONALS YOU MAY NEED.(IF AT ANY).
