Knowing whether or not you are overweight, underweight or just right and whether or not you are healthy is a diffficult thing, so be sure to review these quiz results with a parent, guardian or your Pediatrician. The main goal of this quiz is to hopefully convince teens who are at a healthy weight that they are not overweight so that they do not develop an eating disorder.
A 12 year old (female) teen
who is 62 pounds
and is 4 feet and 6 inches tall -----

is at a healthy weight.

You were right. Your weight is 'just right'!

Please keep in mind that being at a healthy weight doesn't mean that you are healthy, especially if you do not eat well, do not exercise, or have symptoms of an eating disorder.

For your information:
You have a body mass index of 15.0,

which is at the 6th percentile.

Remember, a teen is considered to be:
overweight if they have a BMI over the 95th percentile for their age
at risk of becoming overweight if they have a BMI between the 85th and 95th percentile for their age
underweight if they have a BMI under the 5th percentile for their age
And a child has a healthy BMI if it is between the 5th and 85th percentile.

Knowing whether or not you are overweight, underweight or just right and whether or not you are healthy is a diffficult thing, so be sure to review these quiz results with a parent, guardian or your Pediatrician. The main goal of this quiz is to hopefully convince teens who are at a healthy weight that they are not overweight so that they do not develop an eating disorder.

A 12 year and 4 months old (female) teen
who is 125.25 pounds
and is 4 feet and 10 inches tall -----

may be at risk of becoming overweight.

Since body mass index doesn't directly measure body fat, it is possible to be overweight but not fat so please talk to your parents or doctor before jumping to conclusions about your weight.

See our guide to Overweight Kids for help getting your child to a healthy bmi, and the Top Books to Help Overweight Kids.

For your information:

* You have a body mass index of 26.2,

* which is at the 95th percentile.

Remember, a teen is considered to be:

* overweight if they have a BMI over the 95th percentile for their age
* at risk of becoming overweight if they have a BMI between the 85th and 95th percentile for their age
* underweight if they have a BMI under the 5th percentile for their age

And a child has a healthy BMI if it is between the 5th and 85th percentile.

See the notes on BMI below if you have any questions...

To interpret your BMI, you can also check the Girls BMI Growth Charts to see if you have a healthy bmi. Just plot your age and BMI and see what the percentile is. (See our guide to Understanding Growth Charts if you are not sure what to do.)

Try the Teen 'Am I Fat?' Quiz Again

If you are overweight, how much weight do you need to lose? See our guide to Obesity Prevention and Treatment in Children and use our Healthy Weight Calculator to figure out a target weight.

Or try our Ideal Body Weight Calculator.

The following body mass index charts are in full color and available for children aged 2 to 20 years old:

Boys Body Mass Index
for girls

for boys

adapted from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics.

Notes on the BMI results (courtesy keepkidshealthy.com):

Being overweight means that you or your child has a body mass index that is above the 95th percentile for his or her age. A body mass index that is above the 85th percentile for his or her age puts your child at risk of becoming overweight. Since body mass index doesn't directly measure body fat, it is possible to be overweight but not obese. Some kids who are very athletic and have a large muscle mass, may be overweight, but if they do not have excess body fat, then they do not need help with weight loss. However, the vast majority of children who are overweight are also obese and do need help with weight management.

Being underweight or at risk of being underweight means that your child has a body mass index for his age that is lower than the 5th percentile. This can be normal, especially if your child has been growing and developing normally, has a healthy diet, and is active and energetic. However, being underweight can also be a sign of a problem and deserves a full medical exam, especially if your child is not gaining weight or has recently lost weight, has diarrhea, vomiting, poor appetite, an unhealthy diet, or a low energy level. Children that are underweight can also be at risk of having eating disorders, especially if your child is overly concerned about losing weight, has a poor self body image, exercises excessively, has stopped having periods, or is using laxatives to lose weight. You should see your doctor if you suspect that your child has a medical condition causing him to be underweight or if you suspect an eating disorder.

For adults, a body mass index:

* over 30 is considered obese.
* between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight.
* between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered a healthy bmi.
* under 18.5 is consider underweight.
