What's a normal weight for a 13 yr. girl that's 5'2"?

Question

Well what would be a good weight that's not too much or too less? Is 130 pounds to much for a 13 year old that's 5'2"?

Answer 1

Nope. You're normal weight.
you can calculate your BMI here:

you just type in your height/weight, and your BMI shows up in the heart. to the left is where it says what the normal weight is, the underweight, and the over weight.

Answer 2

Absolutely not!!! There are so many variations among body types and bone structures that there is no one perfect weight.
How do you feel about how you look? That is the most important thing. Why are you concerned about your weight? When I was your age, I remember some boy had commented on my "fat butt".
Later, I went home and looked at myself in the mirror and thought "my god, I'm an ugly whale!!!" This, of course, wasn't true. At your age, it may seem that certain areas (breasts, thights, belly, whatever) aren't the "right size" (too small or too large). This is completely normal. Your body is still changing; some areas will grow and develop out of porportion with the rest. Try not to panic. And remember, the other boys and girls you know are also worrying about their appearance. If you are seriously concerned about your weight, please talk to your doctor, who may advise you to limit sweet sodas, chips etc to one a day. Whatever you do, do not try to diet. It's a sucker's game, totally not worth it. And please talk to your parents. If my daughter had a concern, I'd want her to come to me. They can offer better advice than you'll get here.

Incidentally, I ran into the boy who insulted my rear end (now grown with a wife and kids of his own). He admitted that he said it because he liked me. LOL

Answer 3

I am also 5'2 and this is the weight chart that the doctor gave me.


For small boned
108-121

For medium boned
118-132

For large boned
128-143

But a girl who is 13 should not be stressing over her weight. You are still growning and your hormones are usually all whacked at this age.
Give it afew years before you start worrying about your weight.
Just eat healthy, and excercise and your body will do the rest

Answer 4

130 is a good weight for 5'2". I wish I was 130 again. I'm 26 5'2" and about 165. My own fault though, I drink too much beer. BTW- don't drink.

Answer 5

In a seriousness, likely fairly. yet 80 to ninety is sorta undemanding. My sister is 13 an she's a runner and fairly more effective healthful and weighs very merely about precisely 100. and he or she or he's skinny. SO well-known is fairly likely like 100 to at least one hundred ten or 100 twenty or so.

Answer 6

I dont know what normal is cause i have always been told it depends on several factors i have a daughter 7 and weighs 75 pounds and another that is 11 and weighs only 50 pounds so if you find out what normal is let me know i really think it depends on the kid

Answer 7

Yes, you are approximately 15 lbs. over weight. I too am 5'2" and I stay between 115-120 lbs, and I've had three kids! Try to cut your sugar intake in half and double the amount of water you drink.

Answer 8

yes, it is. i think i was exactly that.....
but it really varies, because you also have to factor in if you have big bones or not, but overall that is around the ideal weight for 13 years old and 5 foot 2...and you're thirteen, don't worry about stuff like this! you're still growing, and even if you think and feel too heavy, you'll probably shoot up by the time you're seventeen or eighteen and by then you'll feel normal.

Answer 9

I'd say anywhere between 90 and 130 pounds, but it also depends on your bone structure, and if you're athletic (muscle weighs more than fat). But it's best to check with your doctor.

Answer 10

90-130
