    Hi. I know this might be a stupid question. But how much should a 17 year old girl weigh. Just i've struggled with my weight for years, i've always felt fat, from around the age of 10 and i have no self confidence. It's the one thing that makes me unhappy. In the summer i weighed 6stone10. But at the moment i'm 8stone. I feel disgusting and i've decided to diet yet again. But how much should i weigh. Any ideas? I'm 5'4.

     It really doesn't matter what you weigh. Some people are meant to be a bit bigger and some are not. I, for instance, weight 8st 30, and I am 12. Yet do I fuss and go on diets. No I do not. I know I am what would call fat but the most important thing is you don't worry to much. I am 4ft 11 and am a Midget, yes I am proud. We can't all be like our famouse celebritys who probebly weigh less than me. Thats called being a skinny underweight girl. So It doesn't matter. You older and the same weight as me. Just, don't go on a mad health-concuise diet

    Hey =]

    Your BMI is totally normal so I would say you're a good weight now but if you lose weight, you would be underweight. Your BMI is around 19.2 and should be between 18.5 and 25 (according to the BBC health page).

    Hope that helps =]

    Speaking biologically and stereotypically, 8 stone is pretty close to the optimum weight of your height and age, if slightly on the light side. Weights do differ from person to person depending on a number of factors such as lifestyle and build, but the main thing you need to be concerned with is your health.

    Whether you weigh 8 stone or 10 stone or anything else, if you're healthy then you're healthy. Some of the world's fittest and most healthy people would be considered as 'heavy' if going by weight alone, and you need to keep in mind the fact that weight is not always a reliable indicator of a person's physical wellbeing.

    Step back, take a look at where you stand physically in terms of fitness, nutrition etc. and try to get a good, honest idea as to whether or not you actually NEED to lose weight. Personally it doesn't sound to me like you do.

    Thankyou for the replies. I know sometimes it sounds stupid, because i do realise that the bmi thing is okay and it's healthy. Just i still obsess over it and feel so big. I have a really small frame so even 8stone feels huge for me. I know everyone comes in all different shapes and sizes, including different weights, just i don't like myself as i am. And it's a huge problem.

    Take Care all.

    Hey!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

    Things are different for different people a lot of things can add to what weight you. One reason, is that your family some people in your family can change your weight. And another is your frame. Some people are meant to be petite and some other people have a bigger build like me, Were more curvier.

    It's not your weight its your inner feelings. Hope this helped.

    Well I'm 13, 5'4", and my weight differs from 7 and a half to 8 stone. I feel a bit fat too, but I've decided that so long as I still fit in my size 6s and 8s, I'm fine! :P
