Is 122 pounds overweight for a 14 year old?

Answer 1

It really depends on your BMI (body mass index) or how well your weight and height go together. In my opinion, 90 pounds is a little skinny for a 14 year old. I'd you feel like you are overweight or underweight, talk to a doctor.

Answer 2

I would say it depends on your height. match your height w/ the body max index (bmi)

4' 0" at 122 pounds gives you a body mass index of 37.7 which is overweight

4' 1" at 122 pounds gives you the bmi of 37.3 which is overweight

4'2" at 122 pounds gives you the bmi of 34.4 which is still overweight

4'3" 122 pounds is a bmi of 33.0 which is overweight still

4'4" and 122 pounds has the bmi of 31.8 which is also overweight

4'5" and 122 pounds is someone with the bmi of 30.6 which is overweight

4'6" and 122 pounds gives you the bmi: 29.5 which is over weight

4'7" and 122 lbs. is someone with the bmi of 28.4 which is overweight

4'8" and 122 lbs. gives one the bmi of: 27.4 which is at risk of being overweight

4'9" and 122 lbs. gives one the bmi of: 26.5 which is at risk of being overweight

4'10" and 122 lbs. gives one the bmi of 25.6 which is at risk of being overweight

4'11" and 122 lbs. gives you the bmi of 24.7 which is still at risk of being overweight

5'0" and 122 lbs. gives you the bmi of 23.9 which is still at risk of being overweight

5'1" and 122 lbs. gives you the bmi of is 23.1 which is healthy.

5'2" and 122 lbs. gives you the bmi of 22.4 which is healthy

5'3" and 122 lbs. gives you the bmi of 21.7 which is healthy

5'4" and 122 lbs. is someone with the bmi of 21.0 which is healthy

5'5" and 122 lbs. is someone with the bmi of 20.3 which is healthy

5'6" and 122 lbs is someone with the bmi of 19.7 which is healthy

5'7" and 122 lbs. is someone with the bmi of 19.1 which is healthy

5'8" and 122 lbs. is someone with a bmi of 18.6 which is healthy

5'9" and 122 lbs. is someone with a bmi of 18.1 which is healthy.

Keep in mind that girls have to weigh more because of our breasts and our hips. And overweight is not what you weigh, but your body max index which is your height to your weight. This is the scale for girls.

For a boy, anything shorter than 5'2" at 122 is overweight and anything taller than 5'4" is healthy.

Answer 3

NO! Weight is often dependent on things like bone size and water retention and all sorts of other things. The scales is often not your friend. The question you should be asking is whether or not you are healthy? You need to take care of your self by eating right, exercise, and hygiene. It is more important to like yourself than how you look in the mirror

Answer 4

It depends on how tall you are. Weight is related to height and body composition, rather then just age. You can calculate your BMI (body mass index) and it will tell you if your over weight or not.

Answer 5

Yes, 140 pounds may be a good weight for you but to answer your question we need to know more about your height and body composition. For a child (or an adult) weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more details. Alternatively, to see the distribution of weights and heights of children at various stages, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
