Question

so basically i’m 13, 5’4, and 130 lbs which means i’m in the 88th percentile for my bmi. my doctors said that i should watch my weight because i’m getting close to the overweight weight. My legs are mostly muscle, i can barely pinch any fat, but they’re super bulky. anyway how i can lose a little bit of weight and some tips on slimming down my legs?

Answer

Your doctor is an idiot. BMI is highly out dated and you are not near overweight.

Answer

If BMI were correct, I'd be horribly overweight. I'm 5'1 and 130 lbs and not considered overweight. You are fine.

Answer

Hmm well I think it’s always a good idea to be mindful of our bodies and try to be healthy. BUT every single person is different and built differently. Having larger or muscular legs is not being overweight. The BMI scale is absolutely ridiculous and most people are going away from it. I lost a bit of weight - ate healthy and worked out a lot! I’m only 5’0 but naturally on the curvier side. I weighed 127 and honestly my family thought that weight made me look a bit too skinny for my frame. So if you feel good then that’s what’s important!
