Am I overweight?

Question

I'm 12 (really close to being 13), and I've never really loved my body. The last time I checked I weighed about 160 lbs. (it could have changed by now). I work out 3-4 times a week, but I have underdeveloped legs and lungs; so my energy and stamina is terrible.

Answer

It depends on how tall you are. If your lungs(me too) and legs are underdeveloped then your metabolism is probably underdeveloped too or just slower than average.

Answer

You're still growing and your body is going to change so much in the next few years, you're still young. It makes me sad for young girls to be insecure about their bodies 🙁 you are beautiful and strong! As long as you're exercising and eating healthy do not worry about that scale!  Keep up your hard work sweetie 👊💪😊

Answer

Always remember muscle weighs more than fat! 💖 loving your body can be difficult but at your current age you shouldn't worry about it, your body is still developing and evening itself out! Xx You seem to work out plenty, as long as you eat healthy (some of the time) then you're all good 😉
