weight?

Do you lot think I'm fat, cos I think I coulsd be over weight? Do you think I need to loose some weight? ok I'm a size 12 when it comes to clothes. I'm 170cm & weight about 72 kgs (Im 17years & a girl) So am I fat? Should I lose weight? What do other people weigh?

A size 12 is a perfectly fine size to be. If you're unsure, trying looking up your BMI (body mass index) - there are plenty of websites with this on, eg the BBC website has a way of finding out, but they are not always to be trusted completely.)

According to the BMI chart you are healthy so no need to worry. Also your still quite young and your body will change over the next few years. If you are worried just increase excercise a bit and watch what you eat. There is nothing wrong with size 12 anyway!

One persons size 12 can be big and anothers skinny jim. Its all down to shape and as big pd said your bmi is fine, so don't worry.

It's also worth pointing out that your bmi is a rough indicator. My BMI is 27 but i go to the gym 4 times a week and run a lot. Someone who has the same BMI as myself may sit at home eating pizza and smoking all day and therefore would not be healthy. Some rugby players have BMI's as high as 30 but it doesn't mean there unfit or fat for that matter!

your BMI is 25.1 which if you want to be picky means you are about 2 pounds overweight. Not worth worrying about. Your body weight will vary throughout the day by a couple of pounds. Again if your worried increases your excercise and eat healthy food!

talk about being blunt lol

You sound fine to me! everyone has a different size and shape and if you are happy and healthy, thats all that matters. I'm 5' 7'' and 57kg but Im not toned so my body doesnt look exactly the way I want it to. Dont worry about it though - its not worth getting upset about!
