If you wish to determine if you are overweight the following information may help:The following is the typical information that is used to determine if a child is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese; you must start with a children's weight chart, in which you simply plan/plot your height, BMI (Body Mass Index) and weight to determine where you fall with others children of your age group.Now to determine if you are underweight, the BMI should be below the 5th percentile; if you are of normal weight, the BMI should be at the 5th percentile but less than the 85th percentile; if your are overweight, the BMI should be the 85th percentile but below the 95th percentile; and finally, if you are of obese weight, the BMI is at or above the 95th percentile.

I weigh 104 and im a 4'9 12 year old girl is that normal?

Your BMI is 22.5 (factoring in age) which puts you in the 91st percentile of weight. Between the 5th percentile and the 85th is ideal. For a girl of you age and height a weight of between 70lbs and 95lbs is ideal. Don't worry though, at your stage in development your weight can change rapidly. When I was 12 I weighed about 100lbs, I'm now 15 and weigh exactly the same. :)

A 13 year old (female) childwho is 105 poundsand is 5 feet and 8 inches tall hasa body mass index of 16.0,which is at the 11th percentile,and would indicate that your child is at a healthy weight. Keep in mind that it is still possible for a child to have an eating disorder even if they are at a healthy weight though.See the notes on BMI below if you have any questions...To interpret your child's BMI, you can also check the Girls BMI Growth Charts to see if your child has a healthy bmi. Just plot your child's age and BMI and see what the percentile is. (See our guide to Understanding Growth Charts if you are not sure what to do.)Remember, a child is considered to be:overweight if they have a BMI over the 95th percentile for their ageat risk of becoming overweight if they have a BMI between the 85th and 95th percentile for their ageunderweight if they have a BMI under the 5th percentile for their ageAnd a child has a healthy BMI if it is between the 5th and 85th percentile.http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/usefultools/l/bl_bmi_results.htm?test=1&gender=2&age=13&months=0&cwt=105&chf=5&chi=8
