sounds like it to me! i am 13 and weigh 7 stone!! but really it depends on how tall you are type into Google 'online bmi calculator' and you type in you weight and height into the calculator and it tells you whethere your overweight underweight ot heallthy

Answer 2

To find out if you are at a healthy weight for your height, you need to determine your Body Mass Index (BMI). There are many calculators available over the internet that can help you do this. You say that you are 5ft 1 inches tall and you weight 6stone 2. There are 14 pounds in a stone, so 14x6=84, thus you weigh 86 pounds. Using the BMI calculator I found at healthline.com, I have determined that your BMI to be 16.25. Typically a healthy BMI is over 18 but under 25, so according to this scale you may be underweight.

Answer 3

Of course you are not over weight for an 11 year old. It really depends on your height, you should be happy with what you weigh for your age. A lot of 11 year olds weight ranges from 5-7 stone. It really doesn't matter as long as you eat healthily and carry out your usual amount of exercise, but you are definitely not over wait if you are 7 stone and 11 years old. I've got a friend who is 13 and she is 9 stone. She always feels down about her wait but she knows that she must feel good about her self, and that it doesn't matter how old you are or how much you weigh. You are 100% not over weight!

Answer 4

I guess it depends, I am exactly the same but I had this discussion with my brother as he says I carry the weight well but I said some people look overweight and some look ok. That said, I do feel a bit heavy so have taken up a walkin route. I basically walk for an hour (half hour each way) daily just above my comfortable walking pace so I work up a little sweat, do this 4 times a week, substitute things i.e, baked crisps for normal ones, Jaffa cakes for biscuits, (I have a sweet tooth:) basically substitute things and also look for the fat and saturated fat content on things rather than calories. I know you didn't ask for diet tips but it throws a couple of things if you want to shed a few pounds. I wouldn't say I'm unhappy, just a bit consiius

Answer 5

At the age of eighteen and standing at 5'5", 6.5 stone (91 lbs), at 15% your BMI is well under recommended standards.

I know it can be difficult to gain weight, but healthy weight range for 5'5" is between 115 and 150 lbs, or 8.2 to 10.7 stone.

Answer 6

No, that's underweight considering males are more muscle than females and 8 stone would be very underweight for a 5'6" female.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Yes.
