Is 96 pounds for a 5'11 girl appropiate?

Answer 1

AnswerThere are many factors to consider when determining the weight of a person such as height and bone structure but, 85 pounds sounds good to me so unless you are extremely short stop worrying about it. AnswerThe answer above is seriously wrong. You should NOT stop worrying about it (sorry-- that's a double negative). Anyway, 96 pounds is appropriate for a girl (assuming you're age 12-16) who is around 5'2'', and even then, you're gonna be really thin. Either the person who previously answered this is NOT thinking or has dyslexia, in which case they shouldn't be on here. Because for your height and weight, your BMI is about 13.2, which is, according to the information you supplied, and according to standards, is severely underweight. If you're this thin, either you have a thyroid issue, or

If you're a girl, as in kid, your parents really should be involved and concerned. How about talking to the school nurse and asking her when and where you could get help? If your parents won't get involved, you're going to have to do it on your own. Hang in there, you'll get through it. Don't you have any close adults to turn to? I'm sure they HAVE to have noticed. And if you ARE an adult.... Well, then... It's your responsibility to take action. If you don't want to, understand that I am not trying to put you down, but that's serious. I won't say much more, but I just want you to know I'm praying for you.

AnswerI'm a 12 year old.I am 5ft10in and 130lbs.Yor normal is 140lbs AnswerYou are wayy too thin. I am five foot four and weigh 128 lbs. you should weigh at least 120, probably closer to 160. You need to seek medical help for this because it is either glandular problem or you have an eating disorder. If you are eating healthy and have recently gained a large amount of weight, you may have a serious health problem like Crohns Disease or early onset Diabetes.

As Brianna mentioned above, your BMI is 13.2. The lowest healthy BMI is 18. To gain weight, eat foods that are high in complex carbohydrates like bread and oatmeal. Also, you should work out and lift weights to build muscle mass which I doubt you have much of.
