Am I Overweight?
Posted: 09-08-06 05:26am

Hello

hi its about my weight i was to sure where abouts to post this but heres my problem

from the age of 15 I used to weigh 15 stone,but now im 17years old and weigh 12 stone and im 5ft11 ive been told thats the average weight for my height.But im always getting down because im I feel fat but I know im not fat,its hard to explain

why do I get like this ?


It really gets me down and also its starting to get my girlfriend down too.


When I was 15 years old I got the weight of being 15stone by watching movies and getting sweets n etc every day after school and not enough excersise but I met my girlfriend on the internet and I thought to my self ive got to loose weight or other wise she wont like me but in her case she used to say it doesnt matter if your fat I like you for who you are.So I lost 3 stone in 3-5 months I know its rather quick but it made me happy when I lost weight.


Basically im afraid of getting fat again thats why I have them symptoms above but how can I get rid of thinking that way......

According to the data you have provided and the ideal weight given a person's age, height (5,11ft=156cm), weight (76kg) and gender you are in fact overweight. You can reduce your weight by another 10kg to reach ideal weight. You can do this by continuing to exercise and watching your diet.
