Is an 11-year-old girl overweight if she weighs 117 pounds?

Answer 1

Depends if the kid is tall

I was 11 and weighed over 120 pounds, but I was also 5 foor 4 inches tall. After I grew to 5 foot 7 inches in the 7th grade, I slimmed out quite a bit. Tae Kwon Do karate helped me to shed the fat and build a lean and healthy body as a young teen girl.

Answer 2

I can't say as to calculate you need the height. But you can check for yourself. The best way is to Google BMI (body mass index). This calculation will tell you weather she is overweight or healthy. The best calculators require weight, height, age, and the date of measurement. Check different sites as some are more accurate than others.

Answer 3

Firstly, a girl of eleven should NEVER be worried about their weight.

To answer your question, an overall healthy weight range should never be calculated by age, but by height. Every person is different and body shapes differ greatly. The best way to judge if you are of an unhealthy weight is with a BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator - not a mirror! Try an online BMI calculator. If you are at all worried that you are in the 'obese' range, contact a trusted adult or a doctor.

Answer 4

Yes because the average weight for a 11 year old girl is about 100 pounds and its strange if you are very active but if you have your period it probably is because of you're diet. P.S hope this helped! :)

Answer 5

Did you mean is an 11 year old overweight if she weighs 146 pounds? I would think it has more to do with how tall the child is in ratio to the weight. Check with her doctor - they will be able to let you know.

Answer 6

i think it generally depends on your height and if that 100 pounds is fat or muscle

Answer 7

Depends on the height, but 160 for an 11 year old is a bit excessive.

Answer 8

it depends on how tall she is.
