you are not at risk of being fat. you are at risk of being overwight. different. plus you probably have more muscle mass if you look that skinny meaning that you are healthy and do not have to lose weight. this site is for overweight teens. bye.

You weigh the same as me and I am 2 inches shorter! You are not overweight, just at risk. This means you are healthy, but it wouldn't kill ya to lose a little weight. I suggest just toning with cardio and weights. And if you choose to use weights, you may gain a little weight, since muscle weighs more tha fat.

you sound like a good weight. They probly mean it, you probly carry your weight really well. I wouldn't worry to much about it. I think if u lost 10 lbs that would be enuf, 145s def healthy. Or just tone up or w/e. Your pretty healthy, it could easily be bone mass.

If it says your at risk, then no your not fat. But if YOU dont like the way you look, then you can lose some weight, just DO NOT GO OVERBOARD! But most people usually like the way they look because of what other people say. So if other people think you look good, then you probably do, dont worry! :D
