Is 130 pounds overweight for a 5' 2 13-year-old girl?

Answer 1

According to your BMI (Body Mass Index) you are almost an ideal weight. You have a BMI of 22.7, with the normal range being 20-25. However, BMI does not account for many factors, such as your build, or how much of your weight is muscle. The best way to assess your weight is through calculating your body fat percentage. However, regardless of what many internet sites tell you this can only be done accurately by a rather complex process. In short, you have nothing to worry about right now, but contact your doctor if you have further health concerns, and particularly if your weight increases or decreases by a lot in a short time.

Answer 2

only a little most 11-13 year old should be around 90-115 not realy higher but its not that bad.

I have to say it is perfectly healthy because i am 11 and weigh 161.6 ad my doctor says i am perfectly healthy.

Answer 3

NO! Calculate your BMI! (just do an internet search and this should come up and many websites will explain to you what it is). I know that this falls in to the healthy weight range. Also, you should just make sure eat healthy and exercise 3 to 5x a week. It can be fun to do a dance workout video with friends (or alone) and most library's have these you can rent for free or you could always go on a run, join a sports team at school, or many other things. Also, strength training is important. This means things like lifting weights or yoga/pilates. This exercise will help you maintain a healthy weight (which you are at) as well as maybe tone up if you'd like a flatter tummy or cuter butt.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Doesn't sound like it. I'm only 17 and I weigh 185-190 pounds and 6-foot 4 and a half. But you should really consult a doctor about it.

Answer 6

I think so just because I weigh that too.
