hey . i found someone like me . im 15 and 4 foot 11. except i look like 10 . and im 85 pounds !when will i grow?

A general guideline is 100 lbs. for being 5 foot and then 5 lbs. for each inch over that. You have to keep in mind though what type of bone structure you have and how muscular you are. (muscle weighs more than fat)
It is always a better idea to do a wiggle and jiggle test rather than weigh yourself. Can you wiggle around in your jeans or are they skin tight? Does the flesh on your legs, stomach, etc. jiggle when you jump around? Then, you need to lose weight and/or tone up.
Workout tips- Join a sport/activity that requires you to be there on a consistent basis and work out in order to be able to do it.
Do sit-ups and push ups every day. (during commercials)
Do leg lifts or climb stairs every day.

i think it depends on your metabolism and your bone size and stuff.. like i am 15, 5'5" and 90 lbs so i think it just depends on your parents and heredity and stuff too.


laugh and love
about 100.
tips:
don't loose the weight too quickly. that's unhealthy. bout 1-3 pounds a week, i hear is normal, and very safe!
make sure you keep hydrated.
and limit the workout to a time. don't spend like 2 hours working out. Take breaks.
Stay Safe

Here is a website that let's you calculate your BMI (body mass index) and then tells you where you lie in the scale (underweight - overweight):

im 4*11 too!! cept im 15, actually i just looked this up the other day and it said something like 80-120.. but idk go to google and type in healthy weight bmi for teens.


: )
Height/weight charts suggest 90lb-120lb for your age/height.

But your body fat percentage is more important than what you weigh, so I would just get your body fat percentage down to 28% or less and that will be healthy. To do this you need to do weight training 3 times a week with cardio on the other days and gets lots of protein in your diet along with plenty of good carbs. Don't eat less than 1,200-1,500 calories per day.

Good luck and congratulations on your weight loss so far.

it depends. some people weight a lot but they look really tiny. you could be 100 pounds to 115?

check out the website below though. it has a whole chart that would answer ur question!

this link would help you calculate your BMI, and also calculate your body mass fat. Your local GYM would have that equipment to calculate BMF.

right now you are overweight
Good luck...!

According to this: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi_tbl.htm , at 4'11 you should weigh around 100-120 pounds. Seems a little extreme to me (maybe since I'm 5'11"? haha!)

Congrats on losing 20 pounds already, that's a big accomplishment!! Keep it up! :D

Your ideal weight would be around 120 lbs. Walking is a great excercise, or just dancing in your living room for a half hour everyday.

studies are starting to show its not all in the weight and height anymore. its what you feel comfortable at and think you look good

Small Frame = 103-113
Medium Frame = 111-123
Larger Frame = 120-134

I think 115 should be your goal. 4'11 is pretty short.... no offense. And, waht you should do is every day look for your goal. saying " i'm gonna lose 5 pounds today, or this week!"

Keep Positive, and stick with your exercising! Your doing greaT!

An ideal weight for you right now would be from 95 to 123 pounds. For working out, do something that is fun and you don't really notice you're working. Try going to a gym with your best friend (not just for the guys ;) and challenge each other. Or join a fun aerobics/yoga class that gets you energized and feeling great.
