Does this sound like a healthy weight to you?!


Question: Does this sound like a healthy weight to you.?
I'm 14.
5'4
And 125 pounds.
I've heard that someone 5 feet should be 120 then you add 5 pounds for every inch from there, wich would mean that I'm a bit to heavy. But I dont know. What do you think.?Health Question & Answer
