Wow according to that i need to drop about 25 pounds to be in my weight range...Though it seems about right.

Weight isn't a really good barometer for fitness (I assume that's what you're looking for). For example, my coach is roughly 5'4-5'5 and by these charts, he'd be obese. But actually, he's jacked, a marathon runner, and benches 300+. Although body fat % isn't a great barometer either, it's one of many alternatives to determine if you're in shape/fit or not.

[goalie33fan]

I'm pretty sure you have to see a physician to find that out.

[FitchLaX24]

Yeah they take caliper test..they like measure your fat with these clip things and its got a measuring thing on it.

[pantherLax]

[MDlaxin69]

according to that im underweight too. 5'10 145... although i noticed that it says this survey was taken by men between the ages of 29 and something, and im only 14... so i guess im not really underweight

I'm actually the same size, I wouldnt consider myself underweight. I'm not slow or weak either, just a little skinny.

[pinoyboy]

after lookin at dat dare chart i figured taht i was too light i weight 115 and im about 5'5 which dat dare leads me too HOW CAN I GET TO MY GOAL OF 135 POUNDS?

P.S. This may sound weird to yall folks but that would be cool if some person wanted to lose weight and another person wanted to GAIN weight and then they could just transfer their weight!

yall get that?

[DeftGoalie28]

[Tman188]

lol i lost a lotta weight

[kermlax5]

why would being underweight make you slower? im actually average according to it....5'9 145....i cant remember what my body fat is but its extremely low....im basically average and imnot weak just all muscle and ima rocket. why would being skinny make you slow?

[RamLacrosse]

It only works for people over 18 which means people that have stopped puberty and Stopped growing

yea i always thought that would be cool like they take fat of a fat person to make them skinnier and add it to a skinny person to make them fatter

[kermlax5]

well some people grow into their 20's...i know my dad and step dad did. and i just remebered my body fat...its 8% which is good cause i found a chart and it falls into the athlete category

I have 5% body fat I weigh 120 and im around 5'6 is that good? around 5'6 120 pounds 5% body fat?

[centlax21]

it really doesnt matter how much you weigh for you hieght, some people are heavier some are lighter it doesnt matter all that much just go out there kick *** and try your best. It is not a good indicator because i am like 5'7, and 185-190. Im athletic, 4.7-4.8 40 and i work hard in the wieght room. it really doesnt matter all that much especially in lacrosse

[kermlax5]

i second that...im deceptivly strong and im not that big and iv seen some kids who poeple would call fat who were just sick at lax. and iv seen these huge ripped kids who sucked to it depends

[laxpro]

I bet that is easier than trying to gain 25lbs. I'm 5'3", 100lbs.

[palmerkswiss]

[JaxLax30]

that site is for women...

If you scroll down there is a second chart for men.

I'm 5'2" and it says I should be like 135 lbs. or something. I only weigh 95 lbs and I eat....a lot. :agree:

Here's a site with a weight and height chart.
http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htmGood website, I'm really glad you found that.No, it's a terrible chart to use. That chart was created by a life insurance company. They criteria they used is 'weight w/ the lowest mortality rate'. Life insurance companies lose money on clients who die early and make money on clients who live a long time; therefore, that chart is based on what the insurance company considers desirable.

A much better chart/calculator to use is this one.

lol im 13 5'8 and 125. Im underweight for women.Using the calculator above, your BMI (Body Mass Index) comes out to 19, which is right on the bottom end of healthy *for an adult*. Considering you're still an adolecent, you're probably well within healthy BMI for your age.

OK, I just found this BMI calculator for kids.
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bmi-calculator/CC00043

And it says healthy BMI for a 13 y/o boy is between 15.7 and 22.2. So there you go; you're well within recommended BMI.

i am very underwieght. Im six foot one, 14 years old and, 139 lbs.

lol i lost a lotta weight139 lbs on 6'1" is very thin, but using the calculator above, your BMI comes out to 18.3, which is still within healthy BMI for your age.

Weight, BMI, body fat%, etc - each one by itself is simply a statistic that tells one or a couple things. Don't overinterpret them. What's important is too take several different measurements and look at the big picture. For example, you could have a guy who looks like the picture of good health: athletic build, healthy weight, good BMI, low body fat, low resting pulse rate, looks like a Men's Health cover model. But same guy could also have high blood pressure (aka hypertension) and high cholesterol levels.

So don't stress out the weight & BMI too much... unless you're a girl. Because if you're female, if you aren't thin, then nobody will like you. :sad:

[middie4life]

Wow are you sure thats accurate.. im 4.9 and 83 pounds .. i have to gain about 23 pounds...

[jory]

according to the charts i need to gain about 5 lbs.

[lax4life6]

[Jod91493]

[LaxMaxVince]

Im 5'4 and I weigh 110. I need to bulk up. Get some muscle.

Edit: google "BMI calculator" and check your BMI. That might give you an idea.

[jory]

good job guys except for the fact that the first link is for women

underneath the womens chart is the mens chart

[moondog]

Exactly--if you're a few pounds above the target weight (according to the ratio), you can just induce vomiting to knock off some of those extra pounds. (joke)

[Jod91493]

according to that, im about 40 pounds under weight, is that healthy? thats why im starting to lift...
