    :indifferent: what is the average weight for a nineteen year old?


    What is your height and current weight. I have seen a few of your posts and your goal seems to be to lose weight fast but you don't look very big to begin with are you really 19?

    It's not necessarily age as it's by height. Look up your BMI by typing in your height. It does fluctuate by age but not a whole lot. Here's a good BMI calculator: http://www.webmd.com/diet/calc-bmi-plus

    BMI is just as bad of an indicator as weight. If you are athletic or have a lot of lean body mass, then you will be overweight in both categories. Below is a good story of women who is almost at her max weight. She is 5'4, 140 lbs and probably around 15% body fat. The first link is the story, the second is a weight chart.

    Very vague question.

    Gender, Height, bone structure, athlectics and much more come into play with discussing the "average" weight.

    100-250 sounds reasonable

    the square root of pi times the speed of light divided by the circumference of the earth...that is the average weight of a 19 year old.

    Honey, don't compare yourself to other people. Focus on being fit, strong and healthy, for YOUR body type.

    Well, she did say "wtf" to Yoovie, so she's got to have some attitude (especially when it appeared you were one of the people supporting her).

    the average weight is not neccessarily a healthy weight.

    for instance the average clothes size in the Uk for women is a 16... is this a healthy size? doubtful if you are only 5ft tall.

    Attitude plays a huge part in your weight... and what your weight should be!
    Take Yoovie, stomps around here a force to be reckoned with daily, heavy with pride in herself and her friends! Lightly fueling the machine with enthusiasm all around! Attitude is everything!

    yes i'm really nineteen!

    really? are you sure you're not like 19 and 1/2 because that 1/2 could make a big difference and throw off the whole equation.

    Height is 5"2

    I've seen a healthy range for a 5'2" woman to be 109 - 137 pounds. I know that's a HUGE range, but so much of it is dependent on body type/frame. I'm 5'2" and I'm aiming for 115, although 120-125 may be more reasonable at 35 and having had two children.

    i think that regardless of your goals and what you are aiming for, someone of your age and height should be under 140 pounds or you will enter into the overweight category.

    But if you have an athletes mindset and you're super insanely training all the time, you could get up to 145 or so and still be in ridiculously good shape. So it depends on if you are a skinny or a fit brained teen.

    so like, good luck totally
