Answers:
ur bmi is 21.2, and thats perfectly healthy (normal 18.5-25)
since ur an athlete its probably mostly muscle anyways.
so ur fine, and dont try to diet since it will drain your energy so u wont be able to work out anymore and ur muscle will turn to flab.Health Question & Answer

I think that that sounds like a perfect weight. It really depends on how you carry your weight, if it's evenly distributed or if it concentrates in one area. Being a gymnast, I would assume that your weight is evenly distributed and that you probably look very toned. If you feel like you are too large, I would suggest some Pilate's. That will help you elongate your muscles and appear to have slimmer muscles without losing the muscle you have built up. However, I do not believe that you are overweight at all by what you have said.Health Question & Answer

The formula for losing weight is simple - eat less and workout more often - the issues surface when we really try to put that into operation! There are lots of opportunities to fail in the big wide world aren't there.?! I found some splendid information by following the site in the box below, they have lots of tips, I lost 9 pounds by doing as they advised.Health Question & Answer

it might be a little heavy but you are short and like you say you are a gymnast so don't worry about it your bmi is something like 21 and so you are in the healthy range for your height but if you feel too heavy you can afford to lose around 10 pounds and your bmi would be about 18.5 which is perfectHealth Question & Answer

I dont know you age so I will just give you a round about

according to the BMI (Body mass index) this is where you should be
Height >58 inches
Age > 19 , 20, 21
weight> 91, 96, 100

so if you are around that then you are fine if you are younger and tht short then you are actually overweightHealth Question & Answer

If you have a lot of muscle, you will weigh more than someone who is the same height and size as you, but who isn't as muscular. Muscle tissue is very dense and heavy. So don't worry about what the scales say!Health Question & Answer
