Is 140 pounds a good weight for a 15 year old girl who is 5 foot 4-ish?

Answer 1

You should try lose a little weight, but don't worry about it much, 14 yr old are growing and therefore shouldn't be stick thin. If she does sport it might be muscle, rembember muscle weighs more than fat. Also if she is uncomftable with how she looks i would advise losing weight, but if not stick as is. Bella. x

Answer 2

A 14 year old (female) child who is 150 pounds and is 5 feet and 4 inches tall has a body mass index of 25.8, which is at the 92th percentile, and would indicate they are at risk for becoming overweight. The ideal body weight would be at a BMI at the 85th percentile or below, and so would be about 135 pounds.

Answer 3

You can look up her BMI here...this is a calculator that will help you get your answer.

I HIGHLY recommend getting her a physical with a pediatrician and is she IS over weight, join Weight Watchers. You will need a Dr.'s note with a recommended weight/weight range in order to do that. It will teach her healthy eating habits for a lifetime.

Answer 4

You weight is fine for now. All you have to do is maintain it. Drink ample amounts of raw juice or water to keep you hydrated. Raw juice got water too but with all the essential nutrients that your body needs. Avoid drinking sodas and processed foods. Eat healthy and exercise 3 to 4 times a week. Get good sleep and you will surely have a maintained weight.

Answer 5

That's how much I weigh and I'm a really active 14 year old girl.

Answer 6

No. I am 6' and I weigh under 160. Try going vegetarian, or better yet, go vegan. You will not only help yourself, but also the environment (not to mention animals, obviously).

Answer 7

Yes, at 5' 4" 123 pounds is a probably a perfect weight for you. In any event, weight is related to height and body composition rather than age.

Answer 8

No, that's a bmi of 25.7 which is classed as overweight.

Answer 9
