Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Am I underweight?

(I'm a guy)

Height - 5'8"
Weight - 10 stone 5lbs
Waist - 28 inches

I get laughed at for having a 28 inch waist which is apparently tiny!?

Not at all. You're of a healthy weight for someone your height - and I have seen jean sizes below 28 inch waist in shops before so honestly it's not that tiny at all x)

Nope.

You're the same height as me, and slightly heavier (I was just under 10st last time I was weighed and have a 27" waist), and I'm perfectly healthy. I've been called skinny, but I definitely don't look (or feel) unhealthy. Though my looking fine might partly be because I'm quite broad.

Hah

I have a 27.5-28 inch waist and I'm 5FT 11 and people say my waist is to big. Seriously i myself and girls in my school consider 25-26 inch waist as as small anything more its big. :redface:

I weigh 10.9-11 stones

You're definitely not underweight. Check your BMI (and IK it may not be wholly representative of whether or not you're a good weight etc.) but use it as a rough guide.
