I am 12. 5'2 and Weigh 139.2 Pounds Is This Over weight?

Answer 1

Yes; according to most standards, you are underweight.

In the US, we use the body-mass index (BMI) to help determine whether an individual is underweight, normal, overweight, or obese. The BMI ranges for these categories is as follows:

* Underweight: <18.5

* Normal: 18.5-25

* Overweight: 25-30

* Obese: >30

BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight (in kilograms) by their height (in meters) squared. Using this calculation, a person who is 5'10" tall and weighs 126 lb would have a BMI of 18.1, which is technically underweight.

Answer 3

no you are just about right for a 12 yeaar old and the last person who sent you a e-mail on hear was wrong you should not weigh 60 pounds and only be 12. i know a girl who is so small that you can put your hands around her waste and your fingers will touch and she ways more than 60 pounds, she is 12 or 13 i don't remember.

Answer 4

It depends on how tall you are. If you are 4'9 then I would have some questions. But, if you are 5'5 or something or taller then I wouldn't be worried. Example:

A person is 150 pounds and is 20 years old. (It seems like they are fat right?)

But...if you add that they are 6 feet tall then, it would be a healthy weight.

Remember, it just all depends on your height. But, a good site to look at whether your fat or not, go to www.mypyramid.gov

This is an awesome site, just go to my pyramid plan and type in the info. (don't worry, i always worry about my weight too! :)) see ya kyle luv ya!!!!!
