Technically, I'm only partially overweight, according to the BMI chart. Anyway, I've had friends your height who weighed 90 pounds, and they get sick very easily, and when they get sick, it's bad. Your body will start to shut down because it cannot support itself. The average weight for your height is at least 110. At the very least. Remember that you are wonderfully made, and that you are beautiful! 90 pounds is sick, not healthy, and healthy is beautiful.
I have taken her to the Dr to be measure to make use she is on line with growth and weight. According to her chart which they hold the trend is that she is has gone taller but her weigth is about the same. I am more worried for her later on .She does have a eats the same as my 10year old who is not skinny but just right. I need any advice please.
Brandy, according to this chart, he is well below even the 1% mark, indicating he is "off the chart" low.

Has he always been low weight? How is his height compared to the chart?
That was something our pediatrician always looked for - a consistent pattern.
I also joined My Fitness Pal online and had my calories adjusted to 1280 a day, according to my height, weight, and losing a pound a week. In the last month, I have gained another two pounds. I am beside myself with grief. I never consume all of the calories gained through exercise. I was going to allow myself one cheat day a week, but have only taken two, the entire month, because I was not losing. I am the heaviest I've been in five years, and I am counting every calorie.
would it be so bad if I discontinued eating potatoes/pasta/bread on a regular basis (I wouldnt cut it out completey, just limit to maybe a day or two per week). I dont want to call this a diet for I am not looking to lose weight, I just want to slow down my gain.
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thank you!
You should consult a dietician and access your calorie needs according to your body structure, height, waist etc. May be you are not consuming enough calories. The dietician can help you prepare a diet chart and give your food and portion options. Then you need to consult a trainer to find out what exercises you can do to tone up your body. Building up some muscle mass in the right places also adds to the looks. This you need to slowly build up into your routine.

Also, you need to find out whether you have anemia or electrolyte imbalance (this can cause weight gain by water retention).
My unhappieness and insecurity about the weight had led me to wanting to change my lifestyle... and loose about 30 lbs.
I am going into my 7th full week of going to the gym in the morning before work. I do between 20-37 minutes of cardio (depending on what time I make it to the gym) on the eliptical or treadmill. I go at least 4 times a week, sometimes 5. Twice a week I do some light weight training.
granted my son is very healthy according to drs. thankfully I want to be healthu too after my dr. called me fat yesterday he told me he isnt concerned....so then why the f u c k would you mention it ... like way to state the obvious. I weigh myself at least once a week and since ive changed my ways ive lost 4 pounds. is that ok? I eat enough I never go hungry I just do healthier and leaner. the dr. told me I shouldn't be worried about losing weight right now, but is it bad that I'm doing it?
I put those words in italics because I personally believe that height/weight charts are laughable and it's no way to actually judge whether or not a person is at a healthy weight. I can guarantee that I will never weight 135 LBs. I certainly do need to lose some weight because I am carrying some unhealthy weight but I am one of those people who will never be thin or "height/weight proportionate".
I haven't had any migranes, I'm not dreadfully tired and as an added bonus, it is already helping me to lose weight. I have struggled with weight all of my life, so knowing that this can help is wonderful. I eat smart and exercise, but before, I slept all the time. Now I don't eat as much and I have more energy. It is great hope for anyone with epilepsy, migranes, maia, but I don't think it should be prescribed for people as a weight loss pill.
My Daughter was in the 75th percentile weight wise for a while, but when I compared her lenght it was in the 75th percentile too. is his height relative to his weight? If your baby is short too...you don't want to put any more weight on him..he will be just fine..that is just his build! :D Good luck!
