My weight problem :(

[lovez 2 pwn]

Ok first i have to let you know that im 12 and extremely under-weight... I currently weigh 82.5 pounds... as for food, today i ate

• Breakfast(7:00 ): Honey Nut Cherios, milk, orange juice, apple.
• Snack (:10:00 ): Noodles.
• Lunch (12:00) : Tuna Sandwich, Orange Juice, 1/3 Cantaloupe.
• Dinner (haven't had yet, I'll edit when i do)

Can anyone tell me whats wrong?? (no I'm not bulimic or anorexic.)

[Man]

eat more stuff in between those periods. candy, muffins, etc...but is that really considered underweight for a 12 yr old? isnt it normal? i wouldnt know cause i havent been twelve for four years

[lovez 2 pwn]

yeah most people in my school is about 100-115 except for the morbidly obese ones...

Sounds like a well balanced diet. Don't blow it. Your weight sounds fine to me. At 12, you shouldn't weigh more than that, unless, you're super tall or something. Is some one bugging you about it?

[lovez 2 pwn]

well im kinda going into middle school so... yeah i guess. (im not one of those stay inside nerds, i go outside but i wanted to join football but couldn't because of this weight, i would get pulverized)

When I was 12, I was 5'5 and 83 pounds, I was REALLY skinny, it's normal, you're just gonna hit puberty later and then gain more muscle, you don't have a weight problem, you said it yourself

:0 im 4'11.... ohhh teh noez!

[Corrupt_hobb]

4'11? I'm 6'2

[Corrupt_hobb]

BUt. seriously, If you're 4'11 that weight seems fine to me, all kids are different *shrugs*

Good luck, got to go!

Im 14 and about...5'8 me thinks and I have ALWAYS been skinny so has my brother (he went to hospital about his...medical I dunno my family don't really talk about it) and I know why I am underweight (I'm 7 stone ish...not sure what that is in pounds) I have a few symptoms of marfans syndrome, elongated fingers, toes, skinny, chest caves in (seriously...) and a slightly fatter heart...I don't actually have the syndrome even though I have most of the symptoms and long story short theres nothing to worry about I reckon its just your metabolism kicing into overdrive, just keep up the diet and you'll be right as rain...unless your chest caves in like mine.

P.S. I sware I am not kidding.
Look it up the proper name is pectus excavatum.

doesnt sound like youve got a problem to me. i was short and twiggy at your age, still am. im 18 and i am only about 125 and 5'7. your diet sounds just like mine, you dont have a weight problem.

[FableFreak]

Wait for puberty, and eat your meat. Protein+exercise = Muscle.

my friend got to skinny and had to have two milkshakes every night for like a year lucky...

Some guys - actually, a lot of guys - have the god-like metabolism which makes us girls want to scream. You just might be one of those people who doesn't put on weight - simple as. So long as you eat healthily and look after yourself there's really nothing to worry about. Until I hit about 13 I weighed roughly 56 pounds - and all I ate was crap.
