Ht. 5'3", Wt. 140 - i just used the weight calculator and i found a slight problem with it. i put in my sex, height, and weight but i forgot to change the age so it said i was 17 instead of 13. it said i was at a healthy weight, but then i realized i forgot to change my age. so i went back but this time i said i was 13 and it said i was overweight. so if u have the same height and weight when u r 17 as when u r 13 but u r catagorized as overweight at 13 and healthy at 17? what difference does age make?

Well the weight calculator, is a gauged against other children your age. So at thirteen Your considered overweight. But when you are seventeen and if you are still at what 140? then You will be okay. I think its five pounds a year that you are "alowed" to gain each year and still be in you correct weight group. Don't worry about it dear. Its okay.
