Is 150 a healthy weight for a 12-year-old girl who is between 5' 5 and 5' 6?

Answer 1

• If you are 12 and you are 150 lbs, I'm not going to say that is overweight because if you are tall and you play a lot of sports I would consider it normal. When I was 11, I was 83.5 pounds so I don't know. If you're less active and you're always laying around you are probably overweight. Sorry if I offend you in any way.

• Actually, I'm very short for my age, 102 pounds and 12 years old. I look fine and my doctor said i am the perfect weight, I'm actually skinnier than most of the kids on my class! I'd say that a lot of the kids on my class are about 120 pounds. If you are tall and active, 150 pounds is a fine weight, keep it up! If not, then perhaps you are overweight. It all depends on your height.

• 150 pounds may or may not be overweight for a 12-year-old. We would need more details from you because weight is related to height and body composition, rather than age. What counts more than your weight is your body fat percentage. For more information about weight in relation to height, and to see the distribution of weights and heights of children at various ages, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

• Well lets see I was 11 and I weighed 115, it all depends on your body shape.

• In my opinion any 12 year old girl who weighs 150 pounds, even a tall one, might be considered overweight by the medical professionals. See the child's pediatrician or general practitioner doctor for an assessment.

Answer 2

== == == == * The weight for your height should be around 130-160 pounds, so yes you are healthy == == * Well, I weigh 170 and !'m 14 and I am healthy. So, I would presume you are too. == == * Yes, that is very healthy.

* I also agree that was mean If you are that tall that is a healthy weight!

Answer 3

For a average 12 year old girl yes, but height is another factor, but unless you are about 5'8 yes. You may want to go to your doctor to check and make sure that you are not obese. If you are concerned you should start being on a diet and do light exercise, but don't over work yourself.

Answer 4

Technically, that would be considered overweight. However, this wouldn't be accurate if you have a lot of muscle mass. Muscle is much more dense than fat. If you don't have a lot of muscle, though, that would mean you may need to lose a little bit of weight, but nothing drastic (maybe 15 or 20 pounds).

Answer 5

Well, it depends.

Is it muscle or fat?

If it's fat, then she might need to loose about 10 pounds.

But, if it's muscle then yes, she's fine.

Answer 6

between 110 and 115
