Is a 10 year old girl healthy if she is 5 feet tall and weighs 140 pounds?

Answer 1

• Yes. It is very normal. That is around exactly what normal 10-11 year olds should weigh. And anyways, you're too young to be worrying about your weight. Save that for the vain teenagers.
  

• I'm actually not that positive about the answer above me. Maybe if your child (or you) is/are tall, maybe it would be a normal weight. I myself weigh 75 lbs and I'm 10 years old.

• There is no specific weight for a 10-year-old girl or a girl of any age. Weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail. Alternatively, for more information about weight in relation to height, and to see charts showing the distribution of weights and heights of children at various ages, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Answer 2

That ALL depends on her height. If she is very tall, then yes, but in general, that is a little overweight. I am 11 years old, I am 5'3" and I weigh 104 pounds.
