Help, I'm 18, I'm Skinny But I Weigh 147 Pounds by Lordmykel(m): 6:08am On Jun 03, 2016 |
I am so obsessed with my weight but it does not affect me physically. i am lean (I didn't want to use "slim" because it sounds better) and i'll be 19 by ending of July. Anyone who sees me will conclude I do not eat much because of my size but thats not true, I eat alot. Even now my Grand Mom complains she needs to cook my meals in a different pot. The truth is, I am not always hungry but I never get sartisfied, I replaced my plate with a small plastic basin and still dont get sartisfied when I eat. ![]() I weigh 67kg thats about 147pounds, I weigh more than most of my older family members example my Aunt who is 46 years weighs 60kg and she is plump. I also have a friend and mate who lifts weight alot but he is only 45kg. I am just worried, I wonder if there is something wrong with me because i am bonny, skinny, fleshless but weighs more than people with reasonable amount of flesh. ![]() sorry i forgot to add i'm six feet, two inches 6'2" tall quite taller than my mates and friends, this is not the problem is it?

No height listed, no picture shown. Easy to disregard. Enjoy your weight, way better to stay underweight than overweight. Take it from me, I've been on both ends of the spectrum. 1 Like |

Op, there are 2 things involved. Your weight could be normal for your height due to your high bone density (what's your age by the way), or you could be producing excessive growth hormone from your pituitary gland. Now the former is not a problem, but the latter, you see, could be a problem. Whichever ways, your height is cool, and from your pix, seems you might still grow more. Have you considered taking up a career in basketball? 1 Like |

You have nothing to worry about. Your weight in relation with your height, is not excessive. Calculating your BMI should put you at ease. Not entirely sure, but I can bet your BMI is below 20. A BMI of 25 and above is considered overweight. Modified: I was right afterall. I calculated your BMI based on the information you gave (weight: 67kg, height: 6ft 2" ) It came out as 18.9 kg/m2 Just maintain a healthy lifestyle. Adequate physical activities with lots of hydration. At age 19, you are still bound to add a few more inches before you stop growing. 1 Like |

Your height and bone mass are contributory factors to why you weigh that much. Minimize your food intake no matter how you crave for more. Try going for gyms so your bone structures would take good shape. Venture in the athletics you will be glad you did. 1 Like |

GogetterMD:Thanks alot, i'll be 19 in two months time. Lets say i'm 19 already. No sir, basketsball? i have not thought of it, all i'm fighting for now is to get into a tertiary institution, maybe when i'm in already i'll think of basketball. And i do not realy have a thing for sports. i'll like to know about the relationship between bone density and age and so the more the growth homone is being produced the more weight i gain but i still lack mass. Thank you very much for your contribution. |

Lordmykel:Sure, basketball has to go along with college. That's only when the big players take you serious Growth hormone is an hormone produced on the pituitary gland that produces vertical growth mostly (adds to your height) Other hormones are there also that contribute 1 Like |

Lordmykel:No. I only needed your height to know if it matched up with your weight. If you didn't post a picture I would've used the height and weight to draw a mental picture to determine if you truly were underweight for your stature. Thanks, i'll love to know how you lost your weightThere's no need, you don't need it. It was rigorous exercise daily. Looking at your picture I don't see anything wrong. As the years go by you'd slowly fill in your frame. For now enjoy being skinny. 1 Like |

You can use weight gainers if you are bent on gaining weight..i use serious mass i would suggest..gives about 1000 calories in one serving. you would add as much as 7 kg in a month... i weight 102... muscle weight though
