Is 140 pounds normal weight for a 12 year-old who is 5'5?

Answer 1

For a 12-year-old there is no "normal" or perfect weight. Weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. Therefore, we would need to know your height, and whether you are muscular or not, in order to answer your question.

Answer 2

No. You should weigh somewhere between 100-132 pounds. But if you feel comfortable with your weight that's all that matters. Don't listen to what other people say, it's all about what you think. Keep that in mind. =)

Answer 3

No. I would say. It depends on height. For example if someones 4ft. 9in. and their weight is 100pounds but if their is a 6ft. 1in. person they can weigh up to 180pounds when their twelve.

Answer 4

thats probably a little bit more on the heavy side. if u wanna be skinny probably 80-90 pounds. average is probably 90-110 u can always check ur BMI (body mass index). just type in age,weight,height,gender etc... and it'll what percential ur in. If u dont know what percential is it means that lets say that if ur in the 70 percential it means that u way less then 30% of most girls and weigh 70% more then most girls. hope this helps
