Lightweight Karate

Why do people always think I weigh much less than I do??

I do karate and all time men ask me how much I weigh! I never tell them but they estimate anyways. They ALWAYS guess 95-100. These guys always pick on me (in a FUN, PLAYFUL, way, never mean.) but they are like family to me, so I’m never offended. Well, some variable..
..I am short, 5’2. Everyone there is average or taller.
..I am always getting thrown in karate and they call me “lightweight”
..I am short but very muscular and very strong.
..They know me like the back of their hands almost. I was saying something about I walk up the stairs (don’t ask, just a conversation) and my sensei said “Really? With the short legs you have?”
So, I actually weigh about 117, but why do they always guess 95 (sometimes 85) to 100 lbs??

AND By the way, I am 15, everyone are adults-old or young adults. Thanks! God bless you
No WAY am I flabby! I am the next Jillian Michaels, thank you!

omg that happens to me too! I’m 14 and I’m 125 and 5″3 and a half. Everyone guesses (in basketball) that I’m 110 or 105! I gues thats a good thing that people think you weight less thna you do! Its probably because of the muscle! good job =]
