Is a 14 year old girl considered overweight if she weighs 134 pounds and is 5 ft 2 inches?

Answer 1

according to the body mass index its heavier than usual for someone that height but at 14 years old you can quickly lose weight than someone out of their teens drinking water reduces fat cells in size and can increase muscle mass.

Answer 2

No, that's very average. Don't worry, you're not fat - if you do want to change your image a little though, try exercising a little more often or balancing your diet, but don't do anything extreme because that's really not a bad weight for your height and age.

Answer 3

Well....male or female matters. At 14 I wouldn't worry. You're going through changes and your body and metabolism are constantly changing. I'm 5'4 (and female) and my weight went up and down about 25 pounds between the ages of 13 and 18. Just stay active and don't eat to much junk food! you're not fat!!!

Answer 4

You are not overweight but your a target f overweight if you gain 7 pounds your overweight, but just slightly right now you are medium framed women, who is healthy its better to be in the middle than too small or too big. (:
