Who are these people that think it's a healthy weight? Your doctor should be able to help you decide. If you feel overweight you're headed for trouble in a big way. We anorexics are fascinated by numbers and love to see them drop like it's a huge accomplishment. I hope you get help soon before it's too late. XO

I would say that is rather worrying and that u should seek some help. Your bmi is rather low.

Honestly, why are you asking anyone here? You should see a doctor and discuss it with him/her. They will know better than any other people out there, and can tell you if your dellusions of being overweight are legitimate.

ya, your BMI is 15.something, probably 8. I haven't done the math, so this could be wrong. But I pretty much have the chart memorized soooo....

Her age is 15, so the adult BMI chart does not apply. What she should do is see a doctor, and a therapist for the anorexia nervosa.

i think you are very skinny and should get help if you have been restricting your caloric intake to get to that weight.

I know what it is like to wantto see that number go as low as you can but at 5 ft and 81 lbs thats a little low...I'd shoot for at least 100lbs even though it is hard to see the numbers go up instead of down. I am 5'8 and people think I am too skinny at 135lb.

No its no where near overweight. Its actually quite underweight.

First of all numbers are not a good idea on your posts. They are triggering to others, so keep them in your journal.
You need to seek medical help if you have the feeling that you are super overweight. That could easily turn into an obsession and ED. The numbers themselves aren't telling much it's what's going on in your head that worries me. Good luck.

With professional guidance you should keep within your BMI range 18.5 to 24.5 to ensure correct body function, return of menstrual cycle etc. Seek professional help
